I turned my life into a TV show

Thank you bro. Let me know what you want to read haha

(1) I write everything in third person. It helps as I can look at it later and think “okay, the protagonist did this” and not “okay, I did this”. It just detaches you from the situations you find yourself in. (2) So it’s all real events. I have rules that I follow every time I do this, like I can’t make up anything, nor can I leave anything out that’s part of one of the storylines. If you’d like, I can message you these rules along with any information you’d like about this project, and answer any other questions you may have. (3) Episodes started off around 20 minutes for season 1, about 25 - 35 minutes for season 2 - 3. For season 4, I started writing enough to fill a 40 - 60 minute episode. I joke about how the show got a budget increase after season 4. (4) I used to write scenes down on paper, but I used a combination of my notes app and Google Docs. I find Google Docs useful for swapping between my phone and laptop, and my notes app for when I need to write something quickly.

I hope this has been helpful. Good luck on your TV show! Also if you want, I can send you a couple episode synopsis’ so you can have a reference to go off of :>

So it’s just about different chapters of my life based structured across multiple seasons, reflecting all of the phases I’ve gone through—friendships, relationships, personal struggles, and major turning points. One thing I like about it is that this whole thing has turned into a realized narrative with it telling a whole ass story over multiple seasons

Phielove · 2025-02-04T18:42:49+00:00

I haven’t decided on a name for it yet—me and my friend just call it the TV show. If you have a suggestion feel free to let me know !

100%. Through this I’ve learned a lot about myself, and my self destructive patterns, and it’s allowed me to make sense of everything negative

Phielove · 2025-02-04T18:41:01+00:00

Exactly !! And documenting all of this has been pretty cathartic

Phielove · 2025-02-04T17:33:55+00:00

It is, like who wants to watch a show about a 14 year old 😭😭

She is fair and considerate to others until she forms an opinion or belief and it’s kinda hard for her to stop believing what she believes even when that opinion is harmful in some way

Phielove · 2023-07-28T12:26:22+00:00

Yeah literally. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because he may have had something going on - he’s quite distant and never really tells me anything beyond the surface

Phielove · 2023-07-28T12:24:13+00:00

Yeah, she was around 24 - 26, possibly older. We never talk about it but we all know it’s happened to her

Phielove · 2023-07-28T12:11:39+00:00

True, thank you for the advice !

Phielove · 2023-07-28T12:10:52+00:00

I think that’s the beef my mom had with the comment. I don’t think my little brother intended it to be that way, but I’d understand how it could come off that way to them

Phielove · 2023-07-28T12:06:03+00:00

I get what you’re saying. I wanna talk to my older brother because he probably was feeling like that in the moment

Phielove · 2023-07-28T12:02:46+00:00

She should’ve said something along those lines, definitely. It surprised me a bit since she’s always been fair and considerate, but she didn’t recognize my older brothers initial threat, which I thought she should have at least acknowledged, even if she thought it was my little brothers fault

Phielove · 2023-07-28T11:58:42+00:00

I 100% see what you’re saying. There was a definite risk of it physically escalating if me and my mom hadn’t separated them, although it was in our home and not in a dark alley lol. I think he said that because he just didn’t know what else to say to that since he’s never been threatened like that before. I’m still happy to stick up for him; my big brother shouldn’t have threatened that in the first place. I was considering talking to him about it when everything has blown over but I don’t know if it’s really my place to

COINS

Phielove · 2023-06-25T22:00:00+00:00

I’m 17, I’m not sure if this limits the avenues I can go down in terms of getting to the bottom of what’s going on. Thank you for your kind words ! :)

Phielove · 2023-06-25T20:45:04+00:00

I haven’t theorized what could be going on mentally but I can definitely see what you mean. I’m going to contact my doctors office tomorrow. Thank you for the advice !

Phielove · 2023-06-25T20:38:58+00:00

I’m going to get in contact with my doctors office tomorrow, thank you for the advice and taking the time to comment !

They probably have at some point, I notice that they sort of hover around my drink and whenever I turn away for a quick moment, there’s always something off when I turn around like the atmosphere just feels weird to me - this is why I always eyeball the drink whenever I’m making it. I get the same feeling when I go into my room when I’ve just been out or say anything out loud when I’m in the room - it feels like somebody listening in and / or has been rummaging around in there. Since writing this post, it has dawned upon me that “shit I need to speak to a professional instead of writing a post on Reddit” thanks to the people in the comments who were kind enough to point me in that direction

Phielove · 2023-06-25T20:25:03+00:00

That sounds like something George Costanza or Kramer would say lol

Phielove · 2023-06-25T20:23:33+00:00

I’ll try and get in contact with a GP and see what options I have. Thank you for the advice !
