Signs you may need to take a break from ao3/tumblr for a little bit:
an author/blog being “mean” to your favorite character causes you uncontrollable anger
an author/blog being “mean” to your favorite character feels like a personal attack on you
a fic makes you depressed for several days (not just sad, but uncontrollable crying, depression, despair)
you feel like your mental health is hinging on the outcome of a WIP or cliffhanger
you’re making threats, death threats, etc on anon or leaving abusive comments
you’re unable/unwilling to block/mute people who cause these reactions
