It feels terrible that I'm so immersed in a narrative that is not real. However, what has given me comfort is finding what can make my real life a bit more enjoyable, even if doing so seems difficult and pointless in the moment. Finding a hobby, volunteering, and exercising have all allowed me to feel happier in my real life and have helped tremendously in reducing the pain that I feel whenever I am forced to leave my daydreams. Performing those actions provides me with a feeling that the events in my real life are not in fact entirely out of my control, and that I can work towards making my real life more fulfilling and meaningful. Even if I cannot ever realize my exact daydreams in real life, I by all means can work towards making some of the awesome things in my daydream (such as a loving relationship) come true in my real life. I know things are tough right now, but I have all the faith that situations will get better as time goes on.</p>
