I was REALLY into anime when I was younger, but just stuff like InuYasha, Trigun ... etc. And well, eventually I grew out of it and moved on to other things. I would still watch it here and there, but nothing terrible.
Years went on, and I really didn't think too much of anime or manga anymore. . .
But that was up until recently. All of a sudden I've been watching anime and reading manga again like I did in the past. I REALLY don't want to fall back into another "anime slump" where all I do is think, talk and breathe anime! It, quite frankly, is creepy when people are like that. And I don't want to be like that again.
But, I've tried to go cold turkey, but I can't do it. And I feel myself just being drawn back into the addiction like before.
(Wow, I just made that sound like I was trying to quit a drug. . . o.0 )

I also am a (small scale) musical theater performer. Honestly, it feels like anime is stopping my progress as a performer as well, I can't seem to focus when I'm dancing(or singing.. or whatever).

I was a bit into anime for a while, but I now look at it as a bad chapter in my life. (Wow, I guess I'm starting to sound like it was a drug addiction too...)
What did I do? I tried things until I found something that I can obsess over just as much, while making it cool and social! I'm talking about music, both listening to and making it.
My anime fads died hard when I discovered rock 'n roll and my current obsessive hobby, the bass guitar.

Find something else that interests you. Get a new hobby or try something completely new!
I know exactly where you are coming from. You want to share your experiences and interests with your peers but there comes a point when you have to draw the line. I started watching House MD on TV, working on my own writing and got into yoga. I STILL watch Inuyasha and read Strangers in Paradise and watch cartoon network like mad but I now have other things to discuss with peers so I'm not known as that anime/comic freak.

i love anime and manga and not ashamed of it. i was really into it like a year ago, like REALLY into it. i still am but not everything for me has to be about anime and manga. its just time i guess. schoolwork and extra activities have made me less able to read/watch manga/anime therefore i'm not obsessed with it. don't completely get away from anime/manga, just slowly give some up. eventually you'll get used to it. hope i helped!

Just anime it all out! Or, even better, write loads and loads of fanfiction. That's what I did, and now I'm considering a career in writing.

every time you think of it pinch your self and read a book watch a moovie play a game (NONANIME) every once in a while its ok to watch one or two but if you start feeling like your going in to an anime watching fest watch some flash, go to addictinggames.com or do something else that you like to do....call a freind, read go outside ect.....
after a while you should stop wanting to watch so much
