I'm a counsellor for children and young people. I've spoken to lots of kids who're contemplating suicide, who've tried it, some who are determined to do it, even. When I end the phonecall or the chat I have no way of knowing if they will follow through.

I just wanted to say that sometimes, people's lives really are that bad that a fictional series or book or whatever is the best thing about it. I have spoken to kids whose lives are so fucked up that their life stories would be rejected by a publisher for being overdramatic and unrealistic. Nobody would believe the kind of shit that has happened to them.

People upthread have made good points about depression warping your viewpoint anyway so that it seems like nothing is worth living for except X TV series, but depression can be caused by both misfiring brain chemicals and because of circumstances. Sometimes people's lives are a genuine pit of fucking despair, and when those people find something good, they cling to it. As they are welcome to do, and I hope they continue doing it. And their lives may not seem worth it to you, but that's your beef, not theirs. And even when they are in absolute crap, the point isn't, "Well, life's shit, let's kick the bucket," but, "Let's see what I can do to make things better. It might be rubbish now but if I can hang on long enough and work on this, I could get to a place where life is good."

You may feel your life isn't worthwhile if you only enjoy one fandom thing. I happen to think everyone can do something good and find their own worth, and it's not my place to judge what others find worthwhile. I hope that if you ever find yourself in that kind of a place in your life, where only X is keeping you going, that it works for you, because otherwise you could miss out on a whole lot of better stuff once you've passed through that black patch.

Perhaps putting so much importance on one thing does seem pitiful, to you. But people whose lives are that bad, or feel that bad, don't need pity. They need support, understanding and acceptance.

I agree with someone upthread who suggested you should talk about this opinion with your therapist. Take care.
