it sounds like you are briefly pulling yourself out of mental illness and addiction to become temporarily obsessed with a show, and then when it ends you're back in it. i don't think the shows are the problem, here.

[(Anonymous)]

DA Yeah, I think it might be a good time to seek help, if you can.

[(Anonymous)]

It sounds to me more like the shows are mashing a - or several - triggers, and OP's sliding into a mental health spiral as a result. In which case the shows still aren't the root problem, but it might be healthier for OP to avoid media with certain elements or themes, at least until they're on a more even keel.

I hate to play internet psychiatrist, but I agree. A healthier approach would be to avoid shows with triggering themes and address the issues. I have to take breaks from heavy subject matter too, but it seems to be something more than that here.

DA - Yeah, that's what seems most likely to me, too. Like, I don't think The Queens Gambit strongly romanticizes addiction--it's pretty clear on the fact that addiction is miserable and destructive--but in certain mindsets depictions like that--depictions that marry surface level sexiness with a recognition of the underlying messiness and despair--can be the most seductive.
