Avatar means a lot to most of us, and 'PAD' is really not a great name as it encourages misunderstanding like this, it means a lot of different things to different people - it can be part of how people have changed, of the feeling of longing for Pandora, of loneliness and wanting a Neytiri or Jake, of the simple beauty of Pandora and so much more. I know you never felt this way but a LOT of people here do, and do not want to give up on what is now part of who they are. I would be happy to explain it further if you want me to.

Thank you for clarifying, I understand where you are coming from now. And I did experience these feelings as many other's have, but I only felt depressed for a couple of days, as I know others have felt depressed for longer. I also agree that labeling 'PAD' to any feeling associated with Avatar is post-hoc. The other feelings you've mentioned are natural and fine, I'm merely pointing to the depressive state this movie can put you in. I know my entrance to these forums months ago was perceived by some as someone who "doesn't understand" or who is "trying to fix something that doesn't need to be fixed", but believe me, I do understand, and many of these threads you mentioned were also on AF, so I'm not such a newcomer at all, so to speak. You said it yourself, the distinction needs to be made between depression and some other feelings that can actually be positive, so I drew a finer line at the point of addiction, another problem I saw. I'm still fought on this idea, but I will persist to say that being addicted is not a good thing. There are other ways to continue the positive feelings from the movie without having to come crawling back to the movie itself. What I just described is a dream come true for someone in the field of Marketing. But I'm a huge promoter of applying these positive aspects of the movie to real life...some may continue to disagree with aspects of my ideas, but I think we can both agree on definitive depression being bad. Not addiction, not borderline depression, not feelings that could be misinterpreted as depression, but real, actual clinically diagnosable depression. The reason I brought my disputable ideas to this particular thread is because Rainbowhawk, who has told us about what is going on through his head, was feeling depressed...he can easily keep certain feelings from the movie, but prevailing through the depression, as he's said himself, would be a step in the right direction. I think although we may have some differences on this idea at times, and what he's feeling may not be solid depression, but more of a mix of feelings from the movie, we can at least agree on the fact that we can leave the positive feelings unharmed, yet change any depression to positive, right HNM?
