So the last 4 days I've been having weird emotions and currently depressed about a cartoon character from a tv show. I've never felt like this before and I feel like Im a weirdo because I fell in love with her but she's a cartoon character and she's not real. I'm really confused on why I feel like this because I was just watching this show and the next day I couldn't stop thinking about her I suddenly fell in love. I tried to stop thinking about it but it keeps popping up in my head and wished she existed in real life. I really think something's wrong with me because I keep telling myself "she doesn't exist why do you love her so much" but once I try to forget I fall into a state of depression because I feel like I SHOULD be feeling that way or its wrong if I don't and I end up fantasizing about her again, it's like an endless cycle. My theory is her traits and personality are something desirable to me and hoped for someone like her in real life but even if i knew a girl existed like that I still want her for some reason. I just want to wake up in that world. I have no other choice but to just wait for it to pass which leads to more depression because I want to have feelings for her still.
I'm really confused on what's going on I never thought I would be falling in love with a cartoon character on tv i look at it as insanity

Shows are made to hook into your emotions. That's how they get popular. My daughter gets emotional over fictional characters too.

How much social interaction do you have IRL? Maybe you need to find real people to talk to.

Right now I don't really have that much interaction since its summer break and it's hot and also are you saying I'm emotionally attached to it?

You connect with her because you have things in common with her. This is normal. I say go with it, and do a drawing of her for your wall. Make it a good heart felt drawing, and she will be real for you.

Meet up at someone's house or a public place like a mall where it's air conditioned.

You could be attached, or not. It sounds like you are if you're getting depressed when trying not to think about it.
