I just read the series, starting Friday and finishing on Monday. I'm re-vamping (love this word) Twilight now. I just want to run away and hide and read and think and dream. I have no desires to be part of the real world right now. Nothing I was doing before holds any interest to me. I do what I have to do, what I need to do to get by and that's it. Someone please tell me it will ease up, even if just a little? My entire world is consumed and in a tailspin.

I keep asking myself the same thing....I think the next person who has to hear about ANYTHING Twilight (ie my husband) is going to scream. I need to get more friends reading it so I have willing ears!

I managed to ease things a bit by reading some fanfic instead of listening to the books for the umpteenth time... just a little... I find it's easier with the audiobooks, too. Reading the words is always more intense for me. Listening to them while folding laundry, not quite as much.

I'm not sure how long it takes to ease up...It's been a month or so and I still get reved up over it. The real world doesn't hold my interest as much as Twilight does either...the story just consumes every part of me that I don't want to be apart from it. It may get better once I can finish the story and know how things finish off with Bella and Edward...


I also have just started getting into the fanfic and have enjoyed it so far, though a friend just scolded me for being so desperate for new twilight stories that I would turn to fanfics to get my fix!! lol I don't see anything wrong with it, but I guess she does

Again, I am just glad that I found a group of women who "get it" like I do!!

I am on my fourth go round since january. I have just accepted that it is now part of my life, not that i'm sad or anything but it does get easier kinda like how Edward can be around Bella easier after time. Just hang in there! I can turn anything into something to do with twilight and I don't try to pretend I'm not crazy any more!!!!

Yeah, pretty much no. There is a thread here titled, "How Do You Control Your Addiction", but I posted my ideas there, failed miserably, and am now just a nut. Most of my time is on TMs.

In all seriousness, there are some great insights that people have posted (most are here in this forum now) that try to explain why this happened to us when reading these books. Understanding where the euphoria stems from helps us put it all in perspective. And now we all hang out on TMs.

--I just went to look and pick some threads to refer you to, but pretty much in any thread in this forum, you'll find helpful posts.

For anyone who is new-- Keep reading the threads in this forum and you'll find some good perspective.

I've decided that I need to read something else so that I don't grow old of the Twilight series.. (heaven forbid).

The first two weeks, I dreamed about Twilight and vampires every night. I couldn't escape it - ever. I still think about it 99% of the time, but I had a dream about something normal last night.

Ah, progress.

Or is it?

I keep waiting for them to visit my dreams, but so far I think I've only had a brief glimpse. Maybe my mind is afraid to go there. My dreams are usually very intense and very memorable, bizarre too for that matter. I keep waiting and hoping.

I don't think that it goes away. I think we just learn to add something new into our lives. I keep trying to figure out why that is, and the only thing I can come up with is, that it is so easy to be sucked into Forks. It is so easy to feel like you are Bella. I is so real that when you read about Edward touching Bella, YOU are the one that trembles. I think we enjoy that high of emotions and intensity. I think as my Moms, we have probably been missing that for a while. But, this is just my own crazy, random, justification of the time that I spend. So, my advice just go with it and enjoy it!!

I am currently re-vamping "New Moon" for the 5th time since January! I am still waiting for it to ease up ! I have tried to read other things, but I keep seeing Edward and Bella instead of the other characters! I am coming to the conclusion though that it is a permenant fixture in my life and I am really not sorry for that! I keep telling myself that as long as I am keeping up with all that I have to do as a wife and mother it's okay to be immersed in Twilight!!!

i'm obsessed, my friend at work that is reading the series right now told me by the time the movie comes out I am not going to want to go see it because i know everything about it already... LOL NEVER, I can't wait for the movie and my boyfriend is so frustrated with me because when I finish the series I start right back with the first book all over again!!! Poor baby he comes home and gets all mopey... "you're reading those books AGAIN?"

tee-hee, I can't help it I tell you!

I'm currently on my 2nd re-vamp right now - but I've listened to the audiobooks like 4 times already. I had to get the audiobooks so I could actually get some cleaning, sorting, and pre-packing done around here. The movers come in less than 2 weeks and I have a ton to do - and sitting with my nose in a book isn't helping matters.

I'm hooked on the podcasts out there as well when the audiobooks voice saying "Bella" gets on my ever lasting nerve.

It's been going on 2 years for me. Honey, it never goes away. :p (was going to use the words "get better" but really, I don't think it something that actually needs to get better lol)

The only thing we can do is carry on. (and of course, immerse yourself even more by joining a site full of like minded people).

I dont think it will ever go away. It dulls a little, but those first few months, i was consumed. It was an ache that wouldnt go away. I dreamed about them at night, daydreamed in the day, and i still check the weather in forks. I couldnt get them outta my head!! It was so bad i almost wished i hadnt read them ! (like that would ever happen) I hear things and think that is so edward and bella!! This story is a part of me, and everytime i pass the books i just wanna hold them to my heart and hug them. Which i do. Im such a dork cant you just see me sittin there huggin a book and petting the cover sayin "i love you!" Ive been a bookworm all my life, and nothing has ever done this to me before. Ive read the first three like 10 times each, and the first time i finished them i flipped to the front and started again. Im in tears right now knowing that Breaking Dawn is the last one. I wish she would keep writing about them for the rest of my life, i dont want to let edward and bellas story go. I am gonna hyperventilate in August waitin for my preordered book and i will be unreachable to reality for a few weeks, so i may need to make dinners and freeze them so my kids can eat!!!
