  • I'm not sure it's "normal" or not, but I have felt the exact same way. I've really only experienced it once in my life, and I'm experiencing it now as I have been for a little over a year now. I don't mind saying that the television show is "Lost", which ended last summer. I watch the old episodes as much as I can, but think about it pretty much every day. The weird thing is that I get very sad about it. It may sound strange, but I felt emotionally connected to the characters on the show, and sort of "miss them". I do miss the show but what I'm talking about is missing the characters. I feel like I want to be in the show and part of that world. I suppose it says something about how I feel about my own life and the world I am in, which I am aware of. But the show gives me a world I crave, people I want to be around. Life on an island. I feel what you're saying, sometimes I get so sad I can't do much of anything at all because I don't even care. It sounds stupid seeing it all written out but it's the truth.

    • I completely understand, lately, I've been obsessed with the chars tees and storyline of the cartoon avatar the last airbender. I know I sound stupid but the intense action and carefree love that is in the 2005-2008 series is more than I can handle sometimes. I find myself literally crying about how Mitch better their lives are than mine, I have to deal with high school, while they control elements of the earth and Aang (the main character) travels the world with the love of his life (btw they are teens just like me) fighting the forces of people that abuse their ability to control fire. I have begun to have days upon days of relentless depression, I might tell my mom soon. Talk to me if you need.

    • I can completely understand what you’re going through. I just discovered ‘Gilmore Girls’ a few days ago and I’m already at Season 4. It’s the only thing that I look forward to watching when I wake up everyday. I randomly get so depressed thinking that the show ended 14 years ago and that I’m approaching the end of the show. I’m so obsessed with the characters and desperately wish that I could be in their world and live with them. I watch it everyday for at least 10 hours a day. Especially now that I’m in quarantine. I don’t think I’m ever going to get over my addiction. I’m also very tempted to spoil myself for the later seasons because I really want to find out what’s going to happen next. I’m 10 years late to this comment too, wow. How are you now? Probably still not thinking about that show too much, haha.

    • Yes exactly. And i mean EXACTLY! you know the whole thing abt u is same with me. I am 18 yrs old just finished my high school and waiting for my college to begin! Now i am a movie freak but it has never been an obsession ever. Now i thought why not start with a tv show. So i thought dat y not start with "friends" since i hav heard a lot abt it while in high school. I started out okay. I started watching 4 episodes in a day. But as soon as i finished a season, oh my god!! I cant just stop it! In less than a week i completed 6 seasons!!!! And now it is starting to get boring but i still can't stop it! Because whenever i am stopping i am getin dis feeling dat i hav come back to real life, which sucks!! Today i was so obsessed dat i decided to take a break!!
