Soo...

So recently I learned about this site and contemplated whether I should give it a shot, so here I am. You see, I've been suffering from a bit of depression and anxiety, perhaps because of what I've been through. Due to these, I immerse myself in my own world so that I could forget my problems for a while. I don't really remember when 'it', the daydreams, started, but all I know it's been constantly bothering me for like, months. At first I thought it was only normal but then it happened more often. So, while I was surfing the web as always, I learned from a post that there was this sickness from daydreaming too much. So I researched it, found out I had one and thought to deal with it immediately. However I can't seem to remove it as it relieves the stress and loneliness out of me. So when I try to face back on reality it kinda hit me a ton of bricks, that all of those situations never happened and will never be, because it was only my own fantasy.

I usually daze out when I made a mistake, fantasizing in my own world for possible solutions and what could I have done at that time; and whenever I am feeling lonely or left out, I create these imaginary friends who were able to understand my situation and try to comfort me. I often find myself in a daze and it bothers me a lot, as it happens sometimes when I'm walking or in school. Even though these imaginary situations can be of use for writing stories, it keeps bothering me. As much as possible I try to keep myself entertained, from drawing to reading books. But when I'm at school, I can't help but feel left out, thus triggering my daydreams. In reality, I have great friends and a nice family, yet I still feel lonely. I try my best to get good grades and try to change my negative way of thinking things. I'm not sure what to do with it anymore, but I'll try my best to find a way to confront these dreams.

Thanks! I guess you're right, I've been considering that option for a while now but I've been so busy to do anything about it. And thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

Welcome to Wild Minds! I was like you when I first joined, this site has helped me a lot my Daydreaming. Usually people share their content so it's not all bottled up in their heads etc...

What I do to confront my daydreams is turn it into something creative! Just channel it into something productive and I assure you it gets better. Since I started drawing and writing my daydreams down (check my blog and the pictures), I've seen a steady decrease in my extreme day dreaming. I hope this helps!
