Anyway, you know that excitement that people feel when it's Friday? I don't have that excitement anymore. It's difficult to describe what's going on, because there's a gap in the knowledge I have and what's happening. However, I will do my best to explain what I'm talking about.

It appears that I am in sync with a fictional character to the extent that whatever happens to him affects my life as well. I can't make sense of this, because if there's a term for this phenomenon I do not know what it is.

When it started, I was skeptical at best. As the countless connections continued to form, I assumed it was my imagination or something. My skepticism stopped when I found out that transits to my natal chart somewhat backs up my experience on more than one date. In fact, I haven't investigated all the dates since there are so many of them. At the end of the month, I plan on doing further investigation.

Since the first episode of the fictional character's home series, I have experienced my first Nodal Return, a break-up, the death of a family member, an unpleasant shift in my career plans, several relationship issues, problems with my education, the return of a mental illness that I thought was caused by Sleep Apnea but also exists separate from the Sleep Apnea, and severe tiredness and fatigue that I am still investigating and trying to fix.

Positives exist as well. Nothing comes without a positive side. Most of the positives are before this fictional character entered the series, but that isn't to say I haven't grown significantly and in positive ways since the pattern truly began.

It's just that I feel alone in dealing with what's happening. I'm not sure how to discuss it with my therapist since I can't apply any form of logic to the experience and anyone can easily say, "You're making it up or imagining it."

The intense conversations with my current boyfriend tend to fall on a Friday or Saturday, sometimes Sunday. These days are when episodes come out. Friday for episodes in English and Saturday or Sunday for the subtitled episodes.

If everything is going smoothly with the fictional character, chances are I'm doing fine. As we know with fiction though, when are things ever going smoothly?

So, what do you think about my situation? Let me know if I need to clarify anything I've said or if something seems confusing. Since I don't know what I'm going through, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone reading this is confused. It seems to be some form of synchronicity though. At least, based on what I've found so far.

Can you explain what you mean here?

It seems you've been given a crystal ball and you have to choose if you want to keep using it or not.

If you do want it, my advice is to make sure it makes you happier, not sadder.

If you don't want it, don't watch.

Not sure what can be said beyond that (?) but maybe someone else will know.

@Faith: I see why you're confused. I'm kind of scratching my head at this too. I'll give you an example though to help demonstrate what I mean. This example is a hypothetical scenario that never happened.

[Example: Suppose an episode of this show aired on February 9th but I didn't watch the show on February 9th. Also suppose that instead of watching the show, I end up getting into a minor car accident that day. The car in front is damaged, but other than that no one got severely injured. When I get home, I think nothing of it and end up doing whatever for the rest of the day. On February 12th, I finally get the time to sit down and watch it. I would find out that some form of emotional trauma happened to this character in the episode that aired on February 9th, the same day I experienced a car accident.

The basic idea is based on something that actually happened. I found out that the show in question uploaded an episode on YouTube a couple weeks after its original air date. I was unaware of this, but on the original air date of this specific episode I pretty much had the worst day I've ever had in a long time. Now, I'm going to be honest. That might be a coincidence, but it did continue the pattern I'm talking about without it being interrupted by me not watching the series.

Some weeks will occasionally be peaceful without much conflict. These episodes don't generally have this character doing much if anything.
