Um, that's not how it goes down, pal. It's not like a fictional thing is "the only thing you have to live for" or that it was better than "the entire rest of your life", it's that a fictional thing gives you some added motivation to keep going, makes you just happy enough to hang in there, gives you a different perspective on life, implants ideas or tells stories that inspire you, causes a chain reaction of events that turn your life around and become happy again, gets you engaged in a fandom where you interact with other people which causes you to become happy, or lends an element of meaning to your crappy life long enough to pull your irl shit together before you kill yourself. "The entire rest of your life"? Seriously? Sometimes, it's a little thing can be what keeps you from killing yourself long enough for your life to get better, and while your life might be worth living now, it was that little thing -- be it something irl, or something fictional -- that actually saved it when it wasn't worth living.

It's not "this is the only thing that is or ever will be worthwhile in my life". It's how something fictional affects your real life, even if said effect IS just a glimmer of happiness that's enough to hold you back from the edge. Fictional stuff is not separate from real life. Fictional things that you read/watch ARE PART OF YOUR REAL LIFE. A huge section of my childhood involved reading Harry Potter, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, Beverly Cleary, Edward Eager, Beatrix Potter, Grimm's Fairy Tales, etc. My life is forever intertwined with those books because of it. I don't credit them with saving my life because my life has never been bad enough for me to ever contemplate suicide, but I'm pretty sure they hypothetically could have, if my life had ever gotten that bad. Would you think it was pathetic if someone just said "books saved my life"? Well, then why should a specific fandom be so different?
