TV has been such a good friend to me, but sometimes it does betray me. So I wish I could tell you that I'm reading books all the time, like the East Coast liberal elitist intellectual that lives in my soul, but it simply isn't my truth. I also find that for me personally, when I am triggered when I am reading it bothers me so much more than when I am triggered by TV. I find it much more managable for me personally than reading, I find with reading my imagination has too much leeway and can take me places where I don't want to go. It is a healthy escapism for me that helps me re-balance myself. My friends often remark how I'm always the first to have watched something, and there's rarely a show someone can recommend to me that I haven't already binged.
TV is an enormous part of my mental healthcare.
