The same thing happens with me, except I don't necessarily have an "excuse." It's easy to get invested in a well-made TV show (or movie/book/comic), because they're made to be that way; the characters are supposed to feel real and relatable, and the situations are supposed to make you laugh, cry, what have you. Even re-watching episodes, sometimes it's just nice to be able to predictably incite a certain feeling when you're unhappy or upset (like seeing the "will-they-won't-they" couple get together). It's definitely not abnormal (after all, other people are making these websites you visit), but that's not to say it's entirely healthy after a certain point. Don't feel bad about enjoying these shows, but if it starts to feel a little out of control, try to cut back. Everything in moderation and all that junk.
Obsessed with TV shows/books/movies?
