<p><a href="https://wildminds.ning.com/profile/JessicaCochran">Jessica C</a>, you've been through hard times. I'm sorry for that. I'm happy to hear that you are going back on track. And it's amazing you are publishing books!</p>
<p>About your question, certainly daydreaming is something that we could decide to do or not to do... so we can just do what we like with our life, right? Well, I don't think it's that easy.</p>

<p>Freedom is a value most of us share, and we value be free to decide how to spend our life, our days. But are we free in an addiction? Can we really, freely decide we want to daydream?</p>
<p>If it were that way, we should be able as well to stop, and we think we can stop, but we can't. And we keep telling ourselves that we are just doing it because we WANT to do it, but the truth is that we just CAN'T stop it.</p>
<p>Are we really free when we are addicted?</p>

<p>Update...I'm not sure what I'm going to do. But, after talking with a good friend, today, I've realized that to not do something would be a shameful weakness. I don't want to give up my daydreams. But, perhaps I can find a therapist who can teach me some amount of control. Maybe I can get my life back on track and function like I should. It turns out that a lot of people in my life have begun to worry about me and they all seem to agree that I haven't been my usual self in a long…</p>

<p>I haven't been to a therapist in a few years. I don't know why I stopped. Next week I'm going to go visit family in another state. When I return, I'm going to call around and find a new therapist. I'm anxious about this. But, I've never considered myself to be a weak person and I don't want to be one, now.</p>
