I never had this obsession "issue" up until recently... I randomly came across bates motel on Netflix when I was on a long boring road trip and got HOOKED like crazy..... Now I wait for every Monday for the new episode and, just like someone mentioned previously, while waiting for the next episode, watched old seasons and episodes at least 2 times. When I don't watch the show, I keep thinking about it and then feel depressed, like something is missing. It's literally like a withdrawal. It's really weird to me ... When I watch the show I get completely lost in it, like I'm there, part of the show, living life with the characters ....it's a major distractor and I think it gives reward or positive reinforcement to the part of the brain that craves it.. But it's just so unnatural..... This era and generation is too media obsessed :((( sometimes I feel like I live in a fictional world...
