You've got a great solution here girl! I do have all the elements in life to keep me busy so I should not be falling into this addiction, however, this is my only escape from reality and sort of a break. Like you said, i still find myself here every 15 mins refreshing... sometimes the gap is a few hrs and when I sleep, max.

I like your idea - stick to 5 chapters at a time of finished ff. Some are too gripping to let go sometimes... i'll still try. I need to talk to you girl to get some realtime motivation and councelling.

Hi just thought of you, wanted to know how your getting along hence dug up this old thread
I do seriously hope you've found your own method, each to their own. What worked for me might not exactly work for you. But from the sounds of it, we both got glued to GF to run away from real life issues

Like I said if you need help or just someone to talk to, I'm only a PM away
Though I can't promise anything but I can be the tentative listener
Leaving GF might not be possible, it isn't for me. But being able to manage a life outside if GF us the real goal right

I hope you've found your solution

It's a phase of life,

It will pass on,

I am here since 2012

There was a time when I was in that phase too,

But there's something I have noticed,

You'll be addicted to it when you have a lot of important things going on in ur personal life that is when you are busy,

And as soon as you are free on personal front, you'll lose interest here too

That's what I saw seeing happening to myself. 😆

I have been there... the addiction just seems like sucking everything out of your life for the time being !

But don't worry. It's just a phase.

And I am not talking about just the forum. Any kind of escape is addictive. I left the forum for years because I realised I was too much into it. I mean I see anything and start to think how to interpret that in Maaneet way. Of course as you know I am back here even after I have tried to leave.

Then I got addicted to Netflix,Amazon etc.. seriously. I binge watch shows for hours and lose sleep and walk like a zombie!! And when one show ends I needed something in its place or else I would feel something went empty. I was watching Outlander to fill the void that some other show had created and then one fine day, I got bored of it. So now I do watch a movie or two on weekends but its safe to say I am not addicted but then again I came back to FFs. 😳

The point is your mind is looking for ways to escape from any kind of stress. You don't even ave to try, The fact that you feel you are addicted in itself is proof you are starting to get bored. You will grow out of it eventually and find a balance. 😊

See the responses from others here and follow what they suggest. It will help you... hopefully.

At the end, it just takes time and then you will find a happy medium and peace somehow.

I feel like I am in a timemachine and I am back in 2010. This show was everything to me back then! I even failed my exams in the obsession with the show, checking spoilers, drooling over Maan and Geet, watching VM's, reading FF's. 8 years later, I have a fulltime job and I am back here, to relive memories and remind myself about the good old memories. I have learned to prioritize coz I may have grown out of it, but that Geet fan still stays alive!
