Time
- Decide how long you will watch before you start.
- Do not watch at work or instead of sleep.
Feelings
It is normal to like a performer. Remember they are working, even when the connection feels real. If you feel jealous, anxious or very attached, take a break.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you planned, often.
- Hiding spending you would not want to explain.
- Skipping friends, work or sleep to watch.
If these sound familiar, step back for a while and talk to someone you trust or a professional. Many countries have free, confidential helplines for compulsive spending or online habits.
