So for a long time I've been avoiding watching most TV since it brings on a lot of stress, but I want to see how anyone else deals with anything similar.
The reason I found I can't watch TV is that I get too emotionally invested in the characters and the situation/ plot. So as you can imagine when something intense happens like a sharp plot twist or a character is cut off, I place that shock and stress as if its really happening in a real world situation. And since a lot of TV today emphasize violence, betrayal and extravagant scenarios, I don't know what shows I can even start to watch nowadays
If anyone experiences anything similar, how do you relieve accumulated stress from a continuous activity like this? I've been thinking of literally walking away for around 15 minutes to a quiet area to recuperate but the stress of continuing to watch deters that.
I just want to watch Doctor Who again
