I've spent the entire day yesterday watching MTV's TruLife. I usually despise reality TV and don't watch it. But I spent the day in bed reading and napping off and on and got sucked into the drama. It's this show that features 2 different people from different parts of the country and it films them dealing with serious issues such as compulsive spending, anxiety disorders, and drinking. It features heartfelt interviews with friends and family that detail how their disorders are destroying their lives. During the hour long show these individuals cry while continuing their downward spiral. They usually end with these people making weepy promises that will continue their therapy, change their life for the better, and move forward.
The end of each segment has a fade-to-black moment where there is then text on the screen informing us of each persons progress. My favorite part is when you read the text and it goes something like "Susie has made no progress is reducing her debt and continues to compulsively shop and refuses to see her therapist."
