Hi Everyone, I need help!!!!
Due to the current situation and staying at home, i have fallen into hyper 'Binge-watching' dramas. My addiction of watching dramas started off with a random romantic drama MV from 'Noble, My love' that single video & thanks to youtube recommendations, before i could realized, i started googling best Korean dramas to watch. Started with 'The Inheritors' to the most recent 'Love Equations'
I fell in & out of the this zone. I would be awake all night...finishing all 16 eps, Procrastinating, watching videos in between classes & work, play OST loud while driving, trying to learn commonly used Korean words, introduction to K-pop and the addiction started and i finally evolved into a Korea-boo(Apparently, Folks who are into Korean stuff - Dramas, K-pop are called Korean-boo s)
Drama world is beautiful with lot of hopes, possibilities, miracles and all good fantasy things. I smile, laugh, cry, feel elated when immersed into this world. BUT i have been slowly harming myself in this 'beautiful' world. No sleep, over eating, procrastination, less social interaction, trying to act like characters in dramas, ignoring the most important stuff in real life & a lot more. I see signs of depression in me, finding solace in these hypothetical world of dramas. I wouldn't blame dramas got me into this state.
Don't get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE this world, love it too much may be. But, is it good for me in the long run?
How are you dealing with this guilt, addiction, need? Kindly share your learnings & experiences.
Thank you for taking your time :)
