DAE get really really obsessed with a tv show/character for a few weeks/months and struggle to think about literally anything else? 

This happens to me very very often. I become obsessed with a show or specific character and just delve into that world, reading, watching and learning everything about them/it.

I can always handle it and usually get over it fairly quickly, but my obsession right now is really taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally and i don’t know how to cope with it. I know that this person is not real and that they’re just a made up character, which is driving me out of my mind and making me feel sad and empty. I don’t know how to handle this feeling. It has never been this intense before. 

Does anyone else struggle with this and have any advice?
