Orange is the New Black

I know I don't normally do this but here's another unnecessary story to fill the gaping void I've left with my countless days off. 

So for about a week I binged this show and then decided I had to quit. I got all the way to season 3 episode 12 and then stopped cold turkey. It's a pretty good drama but it became too much. The type of empath I am, I get emotionally involved in the characters stories. While watching Silver Linings Playbook for the first time, the last 3-5 minutes of video footage where they're going their separate ways, I started pacing and saying "They need to go back to one another!" I knew they would, but watching them walk away was agony. Even when re-reading Harry Potter, whenever Severus Snape or Draco Malfoy was about to humiliate Harry I'd feel the need to skip that part thinking, I don't want to feel that way right now. So, for the show Orange is the New Black, when Daya had her baby that she agreed to give up for adoption, and when Daya's mother lied to the woman awaiting said newborn saying that the child died...I couldn't handle that for many reasons. Not too long before that, for a Netflix binger, we witness the situation the baby would have faced if sent to her Grandparents family where they used a gun as a way to control the behavior of a 12 year old. So I had to Google the show to find out if the baby goes somewhere else and I find out that since the would be caretaker gets arrested, the baby has to go into foster care and that Daya's mother gets out on early release and starts searching for her kids and grand-kids. That was a relief to a small degree but I didn't want to continue. The fact that Alex and Piper are on-again, off-again after the the BS they put one another through is odd too. They broke up for what feels like the last time, but I don't feel inclined to find out. I'd say I'm a fan, but since I can't commit without screwing with my own happiness, I can't say that honestly. Don't get me wrong, I managed to stay up all night once with this show. Not entirely on purpose, it just kind of happened and that wasn't good for my health either. If you know how season five ends fill me in. I can't get there the normal way.
