I get very emotionally sucked in to TV shows and movies. By that I mean that I get so sucked in that I think it's unhealthy. I begin to feel like I'm a part of the story, even as if I'm one of the main characters. This is actually the main reason why I can't watch horror or even a lot of suspense/thriller flicks, I get too sucked in and then I have nightmares for days. Movies have the uncanny ability to completely altar my mood, for better or for worse.
Lately I've been watching that new TV show, The Secret Circle. After watching it, though, I feel...weird. Not only do I feel like I'm a part of their plight, but I feel...powerful. I also end up feeling a little on edge. The feelings are uncomfortable.
I realize the easy answer to this: just stop watching TV and movies. Or only watch funny ones and romantic ones (when my hubby is around/awake, of course). But I'm not completely satisfied with the easy answer.
I just don't really know how to go about looking for or working on an answer. I know that writing/journaling helps me to balance my emotions as well as get a handle on them and understand them, but how can that help me?
I'm open to psychological practices as well as metaphysical and magickal ones, so if you happen upon this post and have an idea, feel extremely free to comment.
