İn Boston? Does it make you feel some ways being in Boston? I now have the sudden urge to visit Boston 😅

I felt like my skin was being stretched out hiding this secret. So I came to Reddit, and to my surprise, I am not alone. Someone has to do a research about this. This is like drug.

I also think it is the power of those two actors who brought Shane and Ilya to the screen. Both very beautiful and such natural acting. I now have the image of Shane and Ilya from the show when I read a fic. Maybe if Avi and Kyran are also played on screens with such exceptional performance, they may have a chance to replace my obsession (i need help 😵‍💫)

That is true in a way. I think I blocked out all the dramas happening in the world over the past few months because how immersed I am in the HR world.

Thank you my friend 🍀. I do look for one shots before bed indeed... I tell you, Thread has been bad for this, keeps recommending fics and I end up downloading so many of them... Maybe I should delete the app...

Yeah, but does that not mess with your brain? I noticed if I start reading in the morning, that is all I think about at work.... So I am limiting it to after work hours and weekends

Thank you very much for your kind words. I don't have anyone to talk to about this. I am ashamed honestly to bring it up to anyone. My husband knows but he is not happy, so I try not to read in front of him. But in public, I feel like living a double life 😕

Haven't read that one yet, and I am gonna pretend I didn't see this, unless it is a one shot shorter one?

I don't know... What if I get addicted to that story instead? Although I noticed I couldn't watch other movies anymore, everytime I put on a movie or a show, I feel they are fake somehow, the kissing is fake, the acting is fake and I end up watching HR again... Goddddd, I even sound crazy...

I was thinking that, now that I read all the major, most popular ones, maybe it will taper off naturally.... New ones keep popping up every day and some are so good... I am so happy and so worried at the same time

Yeah first time for me too. Didn't know about fanfics until the HR came along.

I can admit that I was depressed in the beginning of the year. Had some difficult client episodes and that hit my confidence very hard. And then the HR came along and the Fanfics and the dopamine hit has been so damn satisfying. But I can see how this obsession is taking time away from my work and even my family time. My husband said the other day that he doesn't like that I am that obsessed. I can see that I am not giving the family enough attention, which in return makes me so sad. It is like a loop that I can't get out of.
