How it feels to outlive your depression, just to realize you never learned any life skills while you were trying to rescue yourself

Does this trope also apply if the character DOES die but comes back? Genuinly curious hhshshsh

I did that In a story once ecept they actually died and had magic just kinda holding their body together, only falling apart after they’ve emotionally healed and moved on and started a new life

This is like all of Witch King by Martha Wells. Just continuing to live through ones attempts at self-sacrifice

oh that's why ash ketchum is so fucked up, he's had to experience like a dozen of these

just like real life

Guess I'm a character now

two things;

ptsd

Me in real life lol

Near after the final Kira fight like:

"Trope where a character survives an event they thought they'd die from and now just has to keep living."

In my household we refer to this as "not eaten by the eels at this time" a la The Princess Bride.

Subaru from outside pov in any arc basically lol

I'm in the purple area and it's been bad for my sense of self and purpose.

That's exactly how it feels to hit 40 when you were sure you would off yourself in your 20s

*taps the mic* what is... homestuck.?

Been a long time since I watched it, but I might say Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Going to be Ralsei, I'm confident

And when the character realizes they are living Past The Event, and they are suddenly hit with the fact that theyre disappointed because they actually were starting to count on dying, and even maybe look forward to it. Ita the being forced to confront passive suicidal acceptance of death when you dont actually die. Its the relearning how to be a person again. (This is a good trope no matter what, but Buffy Summers was doing it like no one else when she had to keep living and fighting after dying TWICE before she turned 21.)

me from real life man
