I burned through 9 episodes of a show in one Tuesday and now I feel weird about it
So last Tuesday I called in sick with a fake stomach thing, which I never do, and I told myself I would just watch one episode of this crime drama while eating soup. One episode turned into the entire first season and then four more into season two, and I looked up at 11pm with cold soup still sitting there. Here is the thing though, around episode 6 something clicked and I stopped caring about the mystery and just wanted to live in that town with those characters. I have never had a sick day go like that, not even close. The weird part is I went back to work Wednesday and could not stop thinking about it, like the show was more real than my actual Tuesday. My roommate asked how my stomach was and I almost answered with the name of a character. Is this a normal thing that happens or did I mess up my brain somehow? Also does anyone else feel guilty after a big binge or is that just me?
