It is a thought though. What shows/films are truly depressing. There's definitely some though my memory is failing me.

Nineteen Eighty-Four (the 1984 version).  I'm not sure it is possible to get more depressing than that.

I didn't find Bojack too depressing even though I watched some past series in less than great times. I guess it depends exactly what problems you have. To me his issues were very far removed from anything I've dealt with.

Valhalla Rising. Braveheart. Pearl Harbor.

Grave of the Fireflies was quite depressing when I watched it.

Films to make you bawl your eyes out- The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Schindler's List. Old Yeller.

Films that just leave you empty- Antichrist. Requiem for a Dream.

Synechdoque New York
L'Eclisse
Nearly everything Bergman laid his hands on. I'd go with Shame.

Not sure for depressing. I can think of a few that are sort of devastating.

Try (again ?) Threads (1984).

Threads (1984)

OMG yes. It made me pull a fahdiz: I have not played Defcon since watching it.

[Malthus]

The Russian film Come and See was really brutal and depressing.

It's French. It's depressing.

The L Word is back!

I hope it's not depressing.
