I know when I'm depressed I'll binge watch, of course. But there are times when I'm in a more neutral mood, or maybe only slightly down, and if I spend all day/night watching TV I feel worse afterwards. Guilty for not being productive, like I'm wasting my life watching fictional people live theirs, etc. And of course if I'm already depressed allowing myself to wallow only makes it harder to get out of it.

Does anyone else have this problem? How do you deal with it? I feel like an addict, I want to reduce my TV time but never can, sometimes I think about swearing off TV cold turkey but never have the will power.
