(Anonymous) 2022-03-27 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)Also, OP, it's okay to do step by step. Maybe it means starting out with just 10-15 mins each day or every other day doing something else. I'm very impatient with myself, so I can attest that it takes time and is frustrating, but we all have to start somewhere.
I get/got super into reading fics and when I was at a very low point in my life, I used fic to the point where I'd be late for work, skipping events and things I actually needed to do (you know, it was actually interfering with my life -- I guess like an addiction). But there came a breaking point for me and it had to do with addressing some of the issues that were presently causing me to WANT to escape what was happening. I'm still dealing with things, but I use fandom in a somewhat different way (most times). All this to say, is that it takes time; try to get involved with things outside of fandom (other interests, even just going outside a bit -- even if you're not in the best place financially, finding something maybe a local community center or a discord or Facebook group or whatever you may have available to you -- finding that and finding something new to do. Go to a park and go birding (sans binoculars if you don't have them)! That's interesting to you. Or if you still want a fandom link to it, something a character you like might enjoy or would think is cool that you're doing whatever works). And also (if it's possible) addressing the issue That's bothering you. This takes time and work, and maybe you're not ready to deal with it. That's okay. But definitely start by trying do something new, or different. It will take you out of your head/help build a new habit. Good luck, OP.
I hope your future fandom enjoyment can be free from the way you've treated it before. Your relationship with fandom can change for the better.
