Exclamation Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible.

I recently read on the Avatar TypePad Blog, that people are becoming depressed because of the movie. People are realizing that the dream can't actually come true. I was trying to start a thread where people gave ideas on how to cope with it, as in reading Avatar stuff, Writing ( about avatar of course), painting, or whatever. Just give me some ideas and I'll try and help them out. Maybe people reading might even get some good ideas that'll help.

Thanks

1. listen to the soundtrack, tracks 10 and 11 are the best.
2. im writing an avatar sequel. The writing gets my mind distracted.

Default How to Cope

Start living like Neytiri: in touch with nature, the environment, and not being greedy and wasteful. Pass on the burger, for something more healthy for you and less cruel to animals. Spend your time on this forum, or volunteering in your free time, instead of getting high or drinking, twiddling your thumbs, being apathetic and complaining about how bad the world is. Don't get swept away by the wave of negativity, live your dream. Your life has only two switches, to shine or not to shine. There is no "apathy" setting. If you're on apathy setting you might as well sign your world away to destruction. When you get discouraged by everyone around you, be courageous like Jake, and jump on the leonopteryx. Be the change you want to see in your world. There are only so many people on this earth, the more of them that are doing positive things, the less of them that are out there doing negative things. It's unfortunate that we live in a world where, just by pulling a trigger or making a corporate decision, one single greedy human being can wipe out the hard works of love of many people. But this is why we need to stop focusing on money and start focusing on our environment. Because we have the intelligence to kill ourselves, but not the wisdom to stop it. What will our money buy, when everything that is worth having is destroyed? The only way you can fill the emptiness you feel after this movie, is to jump on the leonopteryx.

After I watched Avatar at the first time, I trully felt depressed as I "wake" up in this world again.
So after few days, I went to cinema and watched it again for the second time to relieve the depression and hopeless feeling.
Now I listen to the soundtrack and share my views in this forum. It really helps.

First time I too woke up and got that strange depressed feeling. That forced me to go to the cinema the next day. Again I got that feeling, even got it after the 3rd time. Now i think I'm an addict of this depression, and i like it, it kinda makes me a better person, or something like that. That's why I'm here, writing.

The first time after I woke up the next day after watching it I "had" to see it again. I have seen it four times now, and soon to be a fifth. I think watching it takes away that depression, because when I am watching it, i dont know how to describe how I feel, but it feels good. I want to just forget about it all sometimes, take down my avatar wallpaper, stop reading about it and what not, but I just cant.
I have to use a quote from the movie sometimes I guess "Sooner or later though, you always have to wake up."
I heard writing a sequel helps, but I just cant compete with what has been laid out.

I dont know if theres any WoW addicts out there, but after seeign Avatar I have lost all desire to play (and trust me thats like being addicted to any drug)
I'm just hoping it will pass over time, but if anybody has any recommendations how to cope I would love to hear them.

Right, totally right! I absolutely agree with Neytiri!
Falling into deep depressions doesn't help anyone. And if you feeling like sitting at the ground of a deep deep dark/black hole the only way of helping yourself out there is climbing! There'll always be persons who might help you somehow. Your family, friends.. or others.

Everyone of them could reach out his / her hand for you to help you coming out of that damn hole. But that's just a little piece of it- and to completely going out of those depressions is helping yourself. You will stuck on it if your mind thinks about how cruel this world may is. It's all a will-thing, isn't it?

Everyone of us lives in his own 'world' somehow. Right? You have to work on it- start sharing your world with others. Not only with family- no! Again: I can't explain what I mean but.. yeah, as Elequin already said: avatar's addicting. It's like a drug- worse than WoW ( and I played WoW for 4 years now! )

The real world is out there- and somewhere we might be like the Na'Vi! because there's one thing we have in common: A soul!

Thats the problem, even if you wanted to strive to be more like the Na'vi you would be eaten alive in this world. It really hurts thinking that... you know. It really would take a complete new fresh start somewhere un-corrupted.
