Yes but not too this extent. It happened years ago my college days. At that time I was reading tons of stuff. Religion, philosophy, mysticism, fiction, history, science. (on top of my academic course material). Suffice to say aside from the girlfriend, work, and school. My nose was stuck in books.
One day while I was forcing my way through a book I a thought came to me.
"books are archives of knowledge, but what is knowledge without lives experience"
The premise is that one needs to nourish the physical, spiritual, and mental energizes. In my exerience and observation too much in one area causes an imbalance, which usually leads to depression or anxieties
Since that moment I reduced the amount I read in order to give time for other activities.
