Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Chronic issues are THE WORST. *sends good thoughts*
Does anyone else go through this anxiety over series they love having new books but being utterly terrified you won't love them and it'll ruin everything and you'll sink into a deep sadness and your love for the series will never recover?
Sometimes. Usually for authors' work in general and friends' books specifically. I am betareader/first reader for my friends a lot of the time, so that helps with the fears because I know there may still be big changes.
Or Terry Pratchett. I have made it my summer reading mission to read at least two more of my Pratchett books. Though there it is also partially "But if I read the book I will have NO MORE NEW BOOKS", which is also holding me back from reading my new M.C.A. Hogarth books because there will be NO MORE NEW BOOKS. (Well, not until they're written anyway.)
I suppose that's a different kind of weirdness, though. Does it still count? (I feel weird anyway.)
