So, this has probably been the most stressful Christmas for us in a long time. We just had one thing happen after another and just when I thought I had some semi control on things one of my brothers started some hideous drama via email. It was then that I decided I was going to call my doctor and have me medicated at least through the holidays. So, I planned to to let my brother "have it" online, but I decided to check the blog first. This may sound strange, but as I was reading the articles and the comments, etc, I suddenly felt a wave of relaxation pour over me. I felt relaxed,free of tension and in control. I didnt care that my brother was being stupid anymore. I thought to myself, screw Prozac! So now instead of getting freaked out I just get Twilighted. And I stay on it for as long as I need to.Works for me! Can anyone relate to this?

Oh yes, I can definitely relate. I remember the weekend my furnace went out and my Luke got so sick. I was so miserable, stressed, exhausted, etc. I would go to the (brand new) blog or read my book, and it would all just go away for a time. I would actually almost forget about the mess, it's such an amazing escape. And that is just one example. Many days I have been in a bad mood, or feeling frustrated about things, and my daily dose of Twilight (not that it's only once a day, but you know what I mean) brings me out of it, it really does. I actually will sigh and smile sometimes after a "fix." What a great thing, and I'm so happy Jenn that it can help you too. I really think, in fact I know, that we're not alone in this...
I can relate to that need to escape, I have started reading over the last few months, a lot, and I have found that it helps me to escape the mess around me and relax, something that my pills can't do all the time. I decided to start a blog too as I think this will help, and reading what you have put, it does seem to do the trick.
Its so nice to have people to relate to something on the same level on the same thing! Did that make sense? I guess I should've asked "how" does it help everyone instead of "does" it help anyone huh? lol--"just me" i'm interested in reading your blog too.I think you should make one.The more the better,eh?
I am not ashamed to say that Twilight is my drug. I could list so many specific examples/moments where my "dose" of Twilight has had a real effect on me. Of course drug is only in the positive sense. Lets define it as something outside yourself that helps calm you down, decompress, escape a little bit of reality. I know we say we are addicted, but to a perfectly legal substance. Really doctors should prescribe Twilight. I was thinking how fun it is to have a fictional escape, where things have boundaries and even though they effect our emotions they have closure somehow. Does that even make sense? And you know my reality isn't always that bad. I have had Twilight help in minor and major situations.
Yes we all come here for a similar reason, however we define it. And can I warn you all that when you stop reading, Twilight can fade. (Actually it hasn't happened to me personally, but to others. It's very traumatic) And even though you don't have to be all consumed with it to be a fan, life is not the same without it. So my recommendation. . . chat with people about Twilight even when you aren't reading it. It can be as theraputic and uplifting as the actually reading.
Jenn, way to go posting for the first time. Satisfying isn't it?!!
One more thing. Who are you "just me"? Welcome if you are new!
