Okay, so I just admitted that the amount of TV I watch might be excessive, and a possible addiction... and now I have to figure out if I care. Well,I do care, but do I care enough to stop?

To put this into perspective, I'm averaging a season of TV a day for the last week+. I just went to calculate the exact stats on Nextflix, and it only has room to hold my last 2.5 days history because that's how much I've watched.

TV is an escape from reality. It means I don't have to have fun adventures for myself since I can live them vicariously through TV. I can go to space, or ancient Egypt, or learn about something, or pretend I'm in high school again. I've barely left my bed because of it. And TV can sometimes be the reason I don't kill myself: I haven't watched all of this series so I can't kill myself I have to finish it first.

I know that's super pathetic... but I don't think I have anything else to do. I miss having a life and having fun, but even as a kid I'd often skip play-dates to watch TV. Even now, I don't like leaving because it means I have to pause.

The only time I didn't watch TV like this was when I was obsessed with D&D and use to play with friends online for hours (and a few times, days) at a time.

Just thought I'd put that out there so I can't take it back anymore, and pretend that I'm not aware of what I'm doing to myself.
