one of the reasons this is so difficult for me, is that I struggle to accept that it's only acting.

I'll see something on tv and worry for that person, not the actor/ actress (despite people telling me many times it's acting I can't accept it)

most of the time, I'll actually skip the episode (if I'm aware something bad is happening, I will put something else on) and I will also check plotlines of future episodes to see if it's okay to watch. their's at least 2 soap operas I watch that always show you what happens in the next one, and as for the other shows I watch, I guess it's down to disgression and common sense.

something else I tend to do is write fan fiction based on my favorite people from the show. if I wath something and something bad happens, I'll write my own version where that person actually ends up in a good situation

I'll also stick a cartoon on if I'm feeling particuarly bad. I've always said you can't go wrong with a cartoon, and they do help relax me

do you tend to watch more tv in the morning, the evening, or is it spread throughout the day?
