I would never consider my daydreaming as some kind of issue. It's just my way to live. I've been daydreaming since I can only remember. As a child, in primary school I had imaginary friend. When I was going on a walk, there was always imaginary dog, cat, tiger, lion or bird walking with me. And I've been always "colorising" world around me.
And now? Now, I think, it got worse. Not only I'm daydreaming, which stopes me from finishing anything I'm doing at the time. One day I realized, that I'm walking around a park and I'm whispering to myself, because I was daydreaming about talking with somebody I was obsessed about that time!
And there's also a time, when I'm in bad, trying to fall asleep. I can't remember if I ever felt asleep without daydreming. It just seemed just a perfect place to create situations, new friendships...
One day I've decided to start writing down some of my day dreams. I found it very helpfull - somehow it "clears" my mind - day dreams once written are forgotten and I have "fresh space" to create new one.
By this time my daydreaming never got me into depression and I hope it never will. There are short times of sadness, when I was daydreaming about some coming event and the reality turned out to be different from my imagination, but luckily I always forget about it very fast.
