So Tired

...See more I am so exhausted all the time because of my anxiety. I just had a panic attack and it's all over something really silly I feel and no one understands it. I have an attachment to this fictional couple on a show and one of the characters has left so now they are showing the guy moving on with another woman and I can't stand it. I literally get anxious about it and it upsets me because I think the couple I loved belong together. Maybe I want a relationship like they had or something but this is literally making me emotional and I don't know what to do. I just want to get over it and move on but I am so stuck on it and I can't stand feeling this way. I am anxious about other things as well in my life but this is a big one and I don't understand why. I really hate it and I'm exhausted by it. I just want to watch a show like a normal person and now get attached to some fictional couple. That's the thing I know it's not real but I can't help but hate that the guy is with this new woman. I know it's just a show and I have told myself that a million times but I just can't seem to shake it. Anyone have any advice? I do talk to people about it but most people think I'm crazy because they say it's just a show what's wrong with you?? For some reason this triggers my anxiety and I just want to at least learn how to control it. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it. Thanks!

...See more I don't know if this is the right place to post this and I actually feel so STUPID about this and I wanted to see if anyone has ever gone through the same thing. It is actually about me having anxiety over a tv show/character. I love this one show so much and I loved this one couple but then one of them left and the other one stayed on the show. Now this other character has a new love interest and I find myself getting anxious over it because I feel like he belongs with the character that left. I know it's so stupid and I do know it's not real but I can't help but get anxiety over it. I do have general anxiety and this is definitely not the only thing that gives me anxiety but this is one thing that gives me anxiety. I have done things to help myself but I'm wondering if there is more I can do. I got off of social media such as twitter to not hear anything about the show and I try not to watch the show but I do anyways. After the show is over and nothing major happens between this new love interest and my fave character I feel a huge amount of relief. I don't really understand myself and why I get like this and it's really frustrating! When the show is on hiatus I am totally fine but whenever it is on I feel ridiculous for getting anxious. What I mean by getting anxious is my heart racing, overthinking, and getting really red and blotchy. Can anyone help? I know this sounds so stupid but I just felt like I needed to talk about it. I have talked about it to some people but they just tell me to get over it. I would be really grateful if someone had any advice. Thank you!
