Hit 117 episodes in 6 days and I'm questioning my life choices

Started watching this medieval drama last Friday night at 9pm. By Sunday morning I was 47 episodes deep and hadn't eaten a real meal. By Wednesday I hit 117 episodes total and realized I'd watched 28 hours in 5 days. My sleep schedule is wrecked and I called in sick to work yesterday just to finish the season finale. Has anyone else completely lost track of reality after a hard binge like this?

Been there, take a walk outside and drink some water.

What exactly were you doing that made you need that walk and water? Were you in a heated argument or just staring at a screen too long? I've found that stepping away for five minutes does more than most people realize, especially when you're stuck on something. It's like resetting your brain for a second before you jump back in. So was it work stress or personal stuff that got to you?

A quick walk and a glass of water really does fix a lot of problems. I've had days where I'm just staring at a shelf label trying to figure out why the count is off and getting nowhere. Ten minutes outside and suddenly I see exactly where I messed up. Works better than a coffee break. Ever tried that when you feel stuck?
