I think one of the things I like about SPN is the horror of the mundane, and the isolationism of modern success.
Like okay. I know ppl love to ascribe to a secretly queer!Jimmy shtick in relation to Christianity, which is fine. I just…find it a pretty tired trope at this point tbh. At this point, I’m more shocked when I see a character with a positive relationship to religion.
But anyway, my point is…find it more interesting if Jimmy had a positive relationship to religion and the neighborhood and truly loved his wife in a very satisfying way…
Because that means there’s nothing truly lacking to pin his depression on. And that’s the horror of mundanity. Depression and dissatisfaction doesn’t need a reason to exist. Sometimes no amount of transformation or self-reinvention or change would solve it, because it’s not something to be magically fixed. (Like a lot of chronic illness tbh.)
And that, I think, hits so much harder.
Perfect life! Top salesman of the region! Overworked and burnt out! But feeling strange and unfulfilled all of a sudden. So, what does he do? He looks to do even more work, perhaps work with Purpose. God’s work. All to answer that niggling question, “is this it? is this all there is?”
What you need is rest. Rest is active. Being. Love is enough purpose on its own.
The tragedy of Jimmy is that work isolated him from what mattered and ran him into the ground, and despite the dressings of success, he couldn’t put his finger on why modernity was such a watered-down horror of monotony.
ADDENDUM:
Our jobs are so lonely, and work has always been something harsh and demanding, especially for historical laborers or soldiers that ship off to distant lands.
But still…post-industrial revolution, family businesses imploded and even thinking of living in familial communities got pinned as “weird.” Hippie dippy communes made that even worse.
But seriously, know what’s weirder? These anemic, lonely, deserts of dystopian suburbia. Bonus weirdness if extended fam/support is dispersed or totally absent.
Men and women come home, almost too tired to eat, and collapse into couches/recliners in exhaustion to watch tv. Mothers take off work to raise new infants alone while simultaneously tending to the tearing wounds of childbirth.
Modernity can be insane. More horrible than the horror show!
So yeah. What’s more horrific than Jimmy having a part of himself hidden away and closeted?
Jimmy having nothing hidden or “wrong” at all. Jimmy being self-actualized and content, but Depression striking anyways.
Because that’s what really feels hopeless…when you’ve self-actualized the fuck out of yourself, and you’ve exhausted every avenue of self-help with honesty and meditation, and it doesn’t “fix” it.

Sales Red Flag
If a manager tells you that they don't care about something because they get paid either way, run.
If this comes up in a conversation about YOUR money, i.e. how splits are handled, that tells you all you need to know.
