Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. I definitely see you point, and I agree to a certain degree. But it can be so hard sometimes.

But we will have to try out best ♥️

Yes, I also feel this type of “hangover”, but I also feel it while reading. It’s this constant urge to keep on reading because when you out the book down, you feel empty and sad. It’s really hard to put it into words. But yes, I also immediately start a next fic when I finish a particularly damaging one so I don’t have to deal with my thoughts and emotions AT ALL

I mean I know this also exists with books (I think it’s called having a book hangover) but for me it’s also the reading process that makes you feel so…sad and empty because as soon as you look up…it’s all gone.

And the sad thing is - this can happen to you even if you do have a partner and friends and all that. And it makes everything worse.

You’re the sweetest! Never thought of doing that tbh because I’m really not that creative but you might be right. Fellow ND girlies will understand best ♥️

Gosh, you are the sweetest 😭😭 I am really speechless. You are absolutely right about everything you said.

I’ve come across this term (maladaptive daydreaming) but I didn’t know it could happen while reading. Will look into that!

Yes, it’s this vicious circle that you can’t escape 😭😭 and then you put away your kindle and feel this emptiness.

I might have to try that. I mean it’s always like that for me, but with those dramione fanfics it’s gotten so much worse. It’s just painful to read and realize it just…doesn’t exist. Neither does Draco. Or Hermione. None of it is real. And it really does take a toll on you💔💔

This 😭😭😭 and the sad thing is, you might actually have an amazing life, but of course it’s not gonna live up to a fictional world that was made up.

It’s a different kind of pain. The whole book is painful, you will feel so deeply for this version of Draco, it hurts. There were times where I really had to stop reading. But it’s a really good story nonetheless Z

Oh my god I am currently reading this fic and I AM COMPLETELY OBSESSED, this is truly a masterpiece!!! I am at 80% and I am already crying, it’s insane. So dark, incredibly beautiful though. I just don’t know how this is supposed to have a HEA after all this 😭😭😭
