My brain is all messed up

I need help with my depression so please read and understand me.

NOTE:This topic contains small spoilers on the movie Ice Age 4. You have been WARNED.
So in the holidays, I went to the movie Ice Age 4, and it is a great movie! Really loved it but I didn't like the fact that Diego and Shira fell in love far too quickly and to me it doesn't even seem like real love. I like and dislike stuff in movies and I am a type of person that never loves everything in a movie which is not a problem to me, except that this small little thing hooked onto my mind. I am a ridiculous fan of Ice Age, Final Destination and Shrek series but nothing ever hooked onto my mind like this small thing and the problem in this is that my brain started acting like it never acted before. I was getting signs of depression at this point. First of all, I can't stop thinking about Diego and Shira and I compare them to Manny and Ellie, all my thoughts focus on this meaning that I can't focus on my homework, my chores or any other things I need to do. Second of all, I feel bad for stuff I haven't done or couldn't do mainly referring to the movie such as I felt bad that Diego and Shira didn't have an adventure like Manny and Ellie did. Next, I feel bad towards my cat, and more private things I want to keep to myself.

Cure sort of:
So 2 days ago, I decided to watch all of the Ice Age episodes all over again even though I have seen then more than 5 times each already. I spent hours searching the internet for free links of the episodes as my local video shop has closed and I can no longer get videos for 7 days from it. I have downloaded so much stuff and 80% of it I don't even understand so I just left it. So far I found 1 useful site which allowed me to watch the first episode free and now I need to spend $20 so I can watch more videos, so I went on searching and downloading more stuff. After watching the first episode I felt a lot better and I could focus and I no longer felt as depressed.

Then today, I watched "Rooster Teeth Animated Adventure 4 Hours of Dubstep Hipster Burnie" video on youtube (Search it up if you want to watch it), and it got me depressed again because his mouth reminded me of a cat and Diego with Shira got into my mind again.

So what do I do? How do I get over thinking about Diego and Shira and how should I go about looking at anything cat like? Because youtube is ruled by cat videos which can probably get me easily depressed again.

I've never seen the movie, but maybe this will help:

It's a cartoon, none of it is real.

'eh, cant blaim me for trying.

Try eating a banana and watching another movie. get into a series of something else.

Just go outside and get some other things that make you busy.
And just think that Ice Age is only a cartoon for kids entertainment. It's not real
Try to focus on your homework, if you keep thinking about Ice age, just read the questions on your homework again, and try to answer it, not just give up because you thought of Diego again.

Don't feel sad for an imaginary character.
Just think positive and think that you feel not depressed.
But if you still keep thinking you are depressed even though you are not, you will be depressed.

Convert your anger towards the movie to anger towards your homework. Do your homework while crying and screaming. I've tried it.

Anger is an excellent motivator

Watch funny videos about sports like this one:

Re: My brain is all messed up

I know the feeling. (I originally had about a paragraph about how I can't watch the opera scene from Repo! The Genetic Opera without tearing up, and how I've only watched it once and then stuff about my dad's medical problems, but it really didn't apply because the opera scene is not always on my mind, although whenever people say a lot of specific words, my mind will always somehow end up on Repo!, but alas, that's the life of a fangirl!)

Anyway, I do know the feeling, usually after spending an ungodly amount of time reading or watching something.
It's all you can think about. Everything reminds you of it. You can't stop doing things related to it.
But then eventually you stop with the feels and you move on. It takes time. It's happened to me countless times, and I think I'm doing fairly well with my life. I don't get upset whenever I see a cripple (okay-- I haven't seen very many cripples, ever, but I still don't get upset when I think about them, because I understand that Katawa Shoujo isn't really real, no matter how realistic and FEELS everything is), or all the other countless things that you just feel so empty after watching. It's a '...well, now what?' type feeling.
Just live your life like you normally would, eventually your feelings will diminish.

Also -- don't say 'they're not real,' or, 'dude, it's an imaginary character' -- sometimes fiction can seem more realistic than truth. Just how truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. There are people who take things like this very seriously. Like Tumblr. We'll **** your crap up if you talk smack about our fandoms. It's a lifestyle that only makes sense to people who spend way too much time on the internet.

Re: My brain is all messed up

Thank you everyone for trying to help and giving good advices, I am a teenager and it's not that hard to get depressed at my age. Hopefully I'll get better as time passes, still 3 days before my homework is due in and hopefully I can finish it before it is due. Again, thanks everyone for supporting me!
