When I've had a stressful day, gone through hard times, or even when I've come close to an emotional breakdown, TV helps me escape. Watching a show you enjoy won't make your troubles go away, but it can help take your mind off of things.
Stress is such a toxic emotion, if you don't believe me ask your doctor. One way to relieve stress is to just relax and stop thinking about what's bothering you. That's what happens when you watch television, you stop thinking about your situation so you can concentrate on Nancy Botwin's adventures or find out who got eliminated this week from your favorite reality show. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, so is talking to someone you trust. I'm not saying watch TV all day and avoid your problems, but at the end of the day, when all of the tasks at hand are complete, it's a great way to wind down (and focus on everyone else's drama rather than your own.) ;)
How does it drive you crazy, you ask? It's addicting! You get so wrapped up in the story lines and plot twists that you'll go nuts trying to figure out what's coming next. Of course, that's okay as long as you find a happy balance between your life and the telly.
