Ashockley, I managed to read a bit more and I realise it’s not about tv as such but about feeling compelled to watch it even when you don’t want to.
I’m like that with the net. I totally understand where you’re coming from.
I also wanted to add, your comment about needing the white noise of it struck a cord. The ‘noise’ in our heads can be too intense and tv or music can help drown it out some and give some relief. To that end, I don’t see anything wrong with having the thing on if that’s what it takes.
If it’s too much for you, would using DVDs be a step away from feeling out of control with it? What happens when you try listening to music and reading at the same time instead? Do you feel you need it when you’re out of the house or is it just when you sit down at home?
I don’t need answers! I don’t have any sensible replies to be honest, but I thought they were worth thinking about because maybe it’ll help unpick why you need it?
