It's never going to get better.

[Grace]

Hi. So I haven't been on here in a long time. I've met one of my characters since then! It didn't actually do much for me... I just fangirled and left,

But I can't do it anymore. All this, everything about this stupid thing. I can't do it. It's never going to end and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I believe in God, (it's fine if you don't, I just want to share something) but I don't understand why He did this to me. My girl character has a boyfriend that she's been dating for a long time now, and people keep saying she should marry him. My guy character appears to be getting back together with his more recent ex. It's just becoming more and more clear that my characters (they're real if you didn't get that) are never getting back together. It hurts me more than I can explain. It's like I feel myself shrinking or something, is the best way I can explain it. I feel something inside me collapsing. The worst part is, no one can understand that.

And so I just keep telling myself: Grace. Something is wrong here. It's wrong that you want two people you don't even know to be together so much. You're gonna throw yourself into depression soon. You're halfway there now.

But I can't quit. Nothing I do will ever change that. And I don't understand why God would decide to do this to me if he knows how terrible it will make my entire life.

So my question is: Why did this happen to us, you think? Why US? Did we deserve it, or will it help us in the future?

I think it's just how we naturally are........creative people who live in our own worlds.  I don't think anyone did this to us.  I know it feels like it won't ever get better, but it can.  Mine has improved over the years.  I still do it a lot, mostly because I have a lot of time, but I don't do it as much, and when I was really busy, I did it less.  I don't know what it's like to daydream about celebrities, so I can't help you there, but I've lost some interest in my characters over the years.  Maybe I'm just growing out of it.  Anyway, don't give up.  Have you tried the suggestions on the main page, along the right?  What have you tried to get it under control?

Yes, our daydreams could be very mesmerizing. Is it God or is it one of the Devil's traps? I think daydream can be good or bad depending on how we use it.

I understand how it hurts that the real life characters don't act the way you expect them to. Is there a way to replace these real life characters with new ones, especially made up ones? Using real people in daydreams can result in tremendous disappointment.

and of course WE NEVER ASKED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. And you're not at all alone ! :)

I understand what you wrote up there, it's hard and even impossible because it's REALITY and we can't manipulate I have this frustration before.
