Compulsively living in my head

[Chica D]

I was sent to a hearing test as a child when the teachers were noticing that I wasn’t listening at times and after my hearing test came back perfect, I was branded as a day dreamer. So I guess this is something that has been a part of me my whole life. Lately however as I’m going trough a very difficult time I have been so sucked into my fantasies that I’m at times unable to stay present. My kids noticed it as well and will ask me if I’m listening or if I’m in my head. When you are consumed by thoughts time stand still. I don’t progress in life. I feel like a zombie that can’t wake up. I feel mentally ill.

I'm sorry... I know the feeling. The world inside our heads is so much better than outside it. I find myself zombish waking up in the morning, which makes it difficult to get out the door to work. I used to be able to control them pretty well, but for the past few months it's been a horror. I try to keep busy somewhat. That has been the only thing helping to combat it.

Yea I know how you feel ... sometimes I could just stay in that world forever and make your life what ever you dream it to be esp when reality seems like it's not going your way at all
