Fandom as distraction therapy

I've been neck-deep in fandom for at least the past week (and probably longer), drowning myself in both a new 'ship (from the Narnia 'verse) and in the one (from the Harry Potter 'verse) that owns my soul.

Every time I'm having a bad time of it, I tend to disappear into fandom as a distraction from whatever's going on in my head, and i stay there until I can cope with reality again.

This stint's going to be a long one, I think.
