Hi. I was a silent reader of this forum for almost a year. I was actually am addicted to this show. then they suddenly replaced her. I was traumatized for almost one month. I did not eat for 2 days. then i could not do my work. I went to my home for 1 month. I consulted psychiatrist. I took medication for anxiety and sleep. I played songs in highest volume to keep those memories away. I dreaded those five times of day when the show is on. I ran from the place whenever anyone started talking about the show. One word one sound one memory one smell sends me in that world and i feel deep sorrow. What aches more is that it feels ridiculous in context of other people's sorrow. It just doesn't feel worthy of this pain. I feel stupid. I am crying right now and don't know if i have explained myself. the pain is not going away. what should i do?

How old are you? and have you told someone in your family that you are going through a depression? I do not mean to be prying. But you need to continue getting professional help. I am not going to say that I understand what you go through because, honestly I do not.

Please remember one thing.. No story, no character, and no actor playing that character deserves this much of your emotions and health.. Nothing to demean the actors or the story. It is nice to see a reel character and an imagined story and fall in love it. But that is what it is.. A reel character. NOT REAL. Get that in you as soon as possible.

Getting yourself into depression for something you have no control on and that is imaginary is NOT Done... Child.. You really need a reality check and please continue seeking professional help.

I suggest you see nothing related to the serial and the actors for quite some time to come. But I am no doctor and I cannot advice anything more. All I can say is never lose yourself into the world of the entertainment industry.. There are too many REAL loved ones around you who need you...And it is also not fair to treat yourself like this. It is soo not worth it

I agree with Harini on this. But this is extreme. Is there any underlying reason for you feeling like this? When she was replaced a lot of us were shocked but some accepted the change as others did not. We all had valid reasons for doing so. But she is an actress who played a character that touched on us all.

You have had strong feelings which are valid but try and see the plus side. Some of us lost loved ones in recent times and still mourn their loss and miss them terribly but you have the good fortune to see this actress in another role. Follow her as a fan, enjoy her other roles but try and draw the line with what is fact and what is fiction. I am just putting all this into context.

I am assuming that you have youth on your side. If so you will find that life is full of disappointments, happiness, sadness and joy, all in equal measures. So for now, you need to open up and talk to your friends and family. You have taken the first step in reaching out by posting here looking for kindred spirits. I wish you hope and peace.

Hon, go take a nice long walk, clear your head, look at the beauty of nature around you, look into the eyes of the people whom you love and then say to yourself - This is real life and I will never let what happens on a TV show to affect my real life in such a way that I am crippled emotionally.

There is no need to stop eating, sleeping and have this affecting your life. Giaa & SP have parted ways, is it sad? Yes. Does it happen a lot in jobs? Yes. Should you let it affect you so badly? No.

Even Giaa has moved on to two shows since then. Let go of this pain that's causing you to hurt over this show and remember you, your health and well being are more important than a TV show.

Please talk to someone as I feel that there is something else going on with you that's caused you to react like this.
🤗

I just read the two posts above mine and I agree with everything they have said.

Fangirl gargigx you have received really good ideas, tips and information on coping strategies. What is surprising is that there has been no response from your end to these. This leaves us all wondering of all kinds of thoughts. Wondering leads to doubt. Eventually doubt leads to thinking just how genuine this plea was.

The intriguing thing is that the said actor left three months ago. You had had it badly for about a month and a half based on what you had said. You should be well and truly on the road to recovery by now. Why make this post now?

Dear friend,
I know your feelings. I know, we all are cheated by PH and Star Plus.. Though it is a drama, it has affected us.
I request, you move out of SNS and start watching some other channels,, (other than Star PLUS to avoid SNS ad etc).. and spend your time either in devotion, or in reading books or in other activity that make you happy. we never know, may be we will Gia in more different role in JNJ.
I have moved to zee tv and stop participating in this forum.
so, you are going to be fine and you are not alone,, there are lot of fans, who still miss Gia...
Take it easy and see you in good health.

Thanks everyone. I am not a good writer and i am an introvert so dont know if i have explained myself. In past four years 4 events happened to me which included a death, a betrayal. I was highly depressed then also. this one was last in this chain and the response from me was exaggerated. i couldnt even believe myself that i can feel this way about a fictional thing. I have a beautiful family and real friends. they all helped me. whenever they helped me and they were sad about me i felt more sorry and sad for putting them through this for such thing. I cant put in words how much i have tried but it doesn't go away. I have been trying for last 3 months and sometimes it still feels the same. i could not justify this in my brain so i couldn't even live this pain. I am just feared that what if it never goes away, what if i waste really too much time in between.
I just dont want to live this way and trying to get rid of this sadness.that's why i thought i should express myself. i don't know if i made any sense but it felt good that you botherd to reply me. Thanks again thank you very much.

Everyone above has expressed their views so beautifully, there is nothing for me to write.. Things do happen, most importantly our personal lives. We learn to move on and we have learned to move on with the biggest tragedies... So this is just a show... no big deal...
you cannot dwell on these things that are not in your control... if you get depressed it will be your loss as you will suffer with mental health and physical health..
So, just learn to move on accept it if you want to watch, if not just let it go...
