| and its a truly stupid reason to feel bad but its happening. I usually keep up with it but I've been physically sick/bedridden for a month now so that hasn't helped. Plus I'm working hard on my mental health which keeps me from home and into therapy/support groups most of the week. I lost the joy of anime because I would always drink while I watched. And now its difficult to sit still due to the diagnosed unmedicated ADHD I think. But I can't get medicated for it because I'm also diagnosed Bipolar 2 and that could cause a hypomanic episode. Which is whats happening rn despite the medication. I found joy in that anime, Delicacies in Dungeon and Solo Leveling this season so that's a success! But again, I have no real drive to watch anything else. I'm a filthy casual that feels bad about being a filthy casual. L.O.L. |

| Uh, alright, hang in there and take care of yourself. |
| I don't now man, but it seems you have more serious problems than whether you keep up or not with seasonal anime. There was a time after I had quit smoking for good when I struggled with watching movies and anime in general because my old self had been so used to lighting up a cigarette during every episode that in hte end I got burned out of it for a time . You would go through the same thing if you really got drunk every time you consumed anime. |

you know, you don't have to keep up with seasonals.
| @tchitchouan Logic brain knows that. Emotional brain is just making me feel guilty over it. I know its dumb, I just needed to talk about it. |

| if you find some time just keeping sipping something else while watching like fruit juices or non-alcoholic beers then slowly to water and then slowly to nothing. hopefully you should be able watch like this. |

| I’m sorry I don’t have much to say regarding seasonals since I like to binge, but I hope you get better OP! 😊 |
| I took breaks from anime due to circumstance in my life. I have only 2 months ago returned again to watching anime my last 2 breaks have been 9 months and 6 months. Anime is not going anywhere focus on you and your health and when you are feeling better you can watch anime again. I am enjoying anime so much more this time round too, as I have loads of series from the past 2 years to catch up on. |
| It is hard to keep up. I only managed to do it one season and two others i kept falling behind. It helps watching it in order it airs instead of picking at whim. You just have to know what your limits are. I wind up losing my focus and pausing a lot taking way longer to finish some episodes than they should. Having trouble focusing doesnt inherently mean ADHD btw it comes with depression, anxiety, ptsd, and sometimes mania |
 There is really no need to watch anything new, simply watch anything you like whether it's new or old. The new seasonal anime won't go anywhere :) Get well soon :) |

| It's funny because I had the exact opposite experience in the sense that when I got extremely sick in the autumn of 2020 (purely physical stuff though rather than having a mental component), starting in early 2021 that's essentially what drove me to start watching large numbers of seasonals for the first time, because I just needed something to serve to distract as much as humanly possible and provide an escape from the pain and hell my body was going through, but yet didn't have as much energy or interest at the time to feel like starting older already fully completed series as it seemed somehow like more of a psychological and emotional investment. |
| It's better to wait for Blu-ray release anyway because then you can binge the show in best quality with less or no censorship and possibly additional content. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Wait half a year for bluray encodes and binge watch it then. BD encodes often have fixed animation and uncensored content. |
| If watching anime is bringing you more hardship than joy you'd better stop. |

| Not like most new seasonal shows are all that great lately. |

| Samee, I said I would start watching seasonal anime but I have failed to watch it in time so I'm learning to be more patient with myself and just watch it when I feel like it and that needs time and practice. The only seasonal anime I have watched almost in time is Sasaki to Pii-chan it´s a nice anime I recommend it! and it's so desafortuned that you can't watch anime for fun, I really hope you can get better or learn how to enjoy things with the way you are, I understand a little bit of what is having an illness but I believe that anybody with illness or not it's unique and has to learn how to be with the things that makes them feel better, so good luck with everything!!

| Watch whatever you want whenever you want. You don’t have to be in the loop for new shows, and no one’s forcing you to. I haven’t bothered with seasonals all that much since before the pandemic. It’s too much fuss and hassle. I can focus some attention to manga as well because I’m not strapped down by the need to watch anime. |
| Don't? There's only a few shows actually worth watching, and since I'm watching like 20, I would know. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| You don't have to watch seasonal, there's a lot of older anime out there that are just as entertaining as any seasonal anime out there. So don't feel bad, branch out and watch older anime!!! |
| You should know that many person who likes anime not watching seasonal anime too. Including me. |
| Don't get too stressed, buddy. Watching seasonal is not for everyone. |
 |
| You feel bad about not wasting your time? Don't let people bully you into it |
