TIFU by watching so much Family Guy that I had a psychotic break
So about a year ago I went through a massive Family Guy phase. I don’t know why, I had only watched family guy a few times before but for some reason I started to believe Family Guy was the funniest show on earth. My best friend at the time also started to go through a Family Guy phase, because every time I went over to his house I’d make him put it on.Anyways, one day I was hanging out with my friend. This was during my college Winter break so I had a whole month off. Since I had a month off I could stay over at my friends place for as long as we could stand to be in each other’s presence. For some reason, because we had all this spare time, I came up with the idea to watch Family Guy in its entirety.We thought it’d be easy. We had a 2nd TV set up where we could run up video games. At this point we were playing Minecraft pretty much all the time, so we could play that while we watched Family Guy. Minecraft really doesn’t take too much attention so we’d be able to give most of our attention to the cinematic masterpiece unfolding on the other adjacent TV.One issue with our plan to watch family guy in its entirety was that the show is like 6-7 days long in its total runtime. So me and my friend decided to leave it running 24/7, who cares if we miss a season or 2 overnight. Anyways, I didn’t realize Family guy wasn’t the best show to sleep next to, because it’ll pretty much wake you up over and over again. Well me, being the OCD prick I am told myself I couldn’t turn it off no matter what, I HAD to finish this Family Guy challenge. For 4 days I got little to no sleep; If I had to guess I’d say I got 1 hour of sleep total in those 4 days.On day 5, the lack of sleep started to take a toll on me. I started to hallucinate and hear the family guy characters talking, I could’ve sworn Peter Griffin was in my best friend’s closet. As the day progressed, so did the severity of my psychosis. I went from Peter Griffin in the closet to I am in Family Guy. I started to believe I was in a Family Guy episode, my friend was Brain, his sister was Meg. I remember waking up my friend to ask him if Stewie was okay. My friend being the asshole he is thought this was hilarious, but my mental state was getting worse.After about an hour of this I started getting paranoid. I guess I’m terrified of the Herbert molester guy, because I started to believe Herbert the pervert from Family Guy was spying on me through the windows. This then progressed to me believing my friends were helping Herbert out which led to me getting violent. One thing leads to the next, I get taken to the ER for sleep deprivation and psychotic symptoms. I’m better now, I’m over my Family guy phase as I’m now watching Rick and Morty. THE ENDTL;DR: Sleep deprivation and Family guy put me into a state of psychosis, I started getting violent and ended up in the ER
