What happens when you get to the point that you feel you can't live without it?

This is where I am... I really don't want to face reality anymore... I have a mental health assessment (I'm from the UK) on the 17th... So I'm going to admit the enormity of my MDD then. Does anyone else feel they can't live without their characters?

Hi Chris 

Your not alone in wanting to escape reality I have felt like that too. I have wished there was someway to climb inside my daydreams and live there but when I come out of it I've realised how much of life I have missed. It is scary letting go and I've never honestly been able to stop at this moment the best I can do is cut back by occupying myself with other hobbies.

I really do think it's a positive step asking for help and telling someone what you are going through. Good luck and stay strong.
