I'm Dani (or J), and I'm 19.

I'm still figuring myself out, but this has become something that I'm worried about affecting my future. While it's not indefinitely a problem yet, paired with anxiety and depression, I find myself struggling to focus on things in life that I need to (like school, or employment). 

I'm a writer and role-player, and I can't decide if it's helping, or making it worse. On one hand, most characters of mine I don't identify with and find the outlet of writing to be a place to put these ideas. On the other, those that I am close to take up most of my thoughts at almost all times. I can't sleep without thinking about them, and thinking in extreme detail about things they go through. I can spend hours talking to myself before I manage to fall asleep.

I'm confused and concerned, but now that I have a name for this experience, I hope to be able to help myself.
