TV addiction

I'm 23 years old and I know I have problems!!!! because I spend most of the time in front of my computer and I watch over 8 movies a day without getting tired!! sometimes I don't  get out of my bed all day long, but I hardly sleep.. I just lie down in my bed all day and watch movies, even usually I forget about eating or drinking, there are times that I thank god because I didn't forget breathing while I was watching the movie... sometimes I forget that the reality is out there and it's not inside the screen!! my mom says I began watching TV when I was 6 months old!!! I remember when I was 7-8 years old, I used to watch my cartoon collection about 4 hours everyday !!! my parents tried to do everything to take it under control, they start send me everywhere, to karate, dancing, swimming, piano lessons, acting lessons, painting, different language courses,etc. to distract me, that worked for a while, but when I moved out from my parents house and start to live alone, my bad habits came back to me...
It's like I'm in kind of coma and I can't get out of it!!! I think I need help!! If someone can help or say something to me, I'll be glad to hear it!! Thanxxxx

I do this sometimes when my mood is low,  but instead of watch TV I surf the internet while I stay in bed all day. It could be a sign of mild depression. To me it is a comfort zone, there is no stress, just relaxation, maybe too much relaxation.
