Anyone else do this? I try to pour my focus all on a tv show or something and the characters to escape all the issues and thoughts in my head. In the end i know the show isnt real but i try and drown myself in the plot of that makes sense

Nothing wrong at all with a little escapism Lindsey.

Now the fun begins where yo blend your self in to the tv and morph in to a few characters

I find it’s possible as I have a personality disorder.

If you want a good one to watch,watch killing eve 1&2,

I don’t know weather I’m that totally fxxxxxd up but I did admire villanelle the pyscopathic killer especially wanting to wear that wonderful pink dress she wore.

It was just her amazing personer I admired so much.

Ooops omg i am fxxxxd up.

Ha ha oh well you’ve just got to laugh at your self often don’t you think lol 😆

If it’s a good program at all you shouldn’t have to try at all it catches your breath and you go with it

Yes Lindsey

We watch television as an escapism, look at books play on the Laptop, You Tube is a good source of entertainment as is the garden and our dog Pax.

The three of us me, wife and dog are happy being together as well, we are generally not bored.

Good to find a different head space. Just be careful to switch off at least 30 minutes before bedtime so that you can get into your restful sleep mode

Oh yes..daily..i call it my brain distraction n i dont care if anyone understands or not because it helps calm my brain n gets me out of my own head to be able to calm me nbe able to move on from whatever triggered me.
