Question Posted Wednesday February 18 2009, 5:08 pm
I get really into movies. When I'm watching a movie I'm oblivious to anything else that goes on. But movies always make me sad afterwards, even if there's a happy ending. It's like, for a couple of days, I just can't stop thinking about the movie and I always feel kinda down. Even if I'm not thinking about the movie it's in the back of my mind and the feeling takes a few days to fade away. What do I do?

In my opinion, i think we are alot alike in the way that we use movies as a form of escapism. Meaning, you use movies as an outlet from your reality and enjoy getting lost in another world and someone else's life. For some people it might be books that help them but for you, it seems to be movies. I am not sure if you have problems in your every day life which is why you get so involved in the movie experience. As for being unhappy afterwards, i think that is because you seem to think that the life you saw in the movies or the world that was portrayed is more appealing then your reality and your sad that the movies over because you cant see what happens nexet. Believe me, i sometimes feel that way too. However, if you take a step back and try to see your life or your world from another perspective, it will seem just as interesting. :) Also, try picking up a good book to keep yourself busy. Its okay to get lost in fiction, as long as you dont lose sight of reality. i truly hope i helped. [ shortcake90's advice column | Ask shortcake90 A Question ]

life and in your mental patterns. I say, you
might have another disorder going on that you
should seek treatment for.
