<p>Your English is just fine. Also, I think that could be true for some people, those who used MD as a coping strategy, and maybe some who started a little later in life. Personally, for me, it's more of a way of processing emotion and, I think, making sense of what's happened in the day (like, understanding why people did/said things they did, etc) I just need to find good times to do this, I think.</p>

It sounds plausible to me. I used to think my daydreaming was as simple as a self-control problem that I had developed when I was really young, and that all I needed to do was gain control of my imagination. I changed my mind when I realized that while my fantasy world has changed a lot over time, the same themes have always been there. These themes correlate exactly with the things that I've always wanted or needed and yet lacked in reality. So, for me, daydreaming is a way of gaining control…

These themes correlate exactly with the things that I've always wanted or needed and yet lacked in reality. So, for me, daydreaming is a way of gaining control over the things I'm not able to control in my real life and to mentally create the things I need to prevent me from going completely insane, lol. Daydreaming has been a source of emotional support and it has helped to get me through the hardest of times. Unfortunately, it only acts to numb the pain. It doesn't resolve anything. And that's fine, if the problem is only temporary, but if you become comfortable with a coping mechanism, acknowledging the problem becomes even more difficult because the coping mechanism only adds to it. At least this is how it is for me.
