When I was about ten or eleven I was sitting in my room and I had entered in to this day-dream state. I had realized, while I was imagining this alternate story, that I had been day dreaming more and more each day. I had always grown up with the idea that you were only crazy when you answer a question you had asked. Well I had been thinking about this while simultaneously having this day dream and I heard some one talking. Then I realized I was the one talking. Since then the day dreams have become so frequent I can't stop them any more. I can not hold actual concentration on one idea for more than a few seconds I have tried everything to keep myself here but nothing has worked it is so second nature to me that I do it with out realizing I am some where else. Whole days I can't remember, conversations, food, clothes. All gone. But I was there and I responded. I will get off work and not remember anything except I was there I day dream about all sorts of stuff whether it is relevant to what is going on. violent, happy, sad, sweet, wishes, pasts. Am I crazy? How can I stop this? What do you think it is?

Many people live in an alternative fantasy world... some of these worlds are more acceptable than others, religion, for example, but just living in a daydream state is sort of pathological because you are missing all the good things in life as well as the disappointing things.

Tiime to go to a good therapist for some help.

Having a happy life takes a lot of effort... a person can't just dream away and expect to find happiness. Happiness requires a lot of action and doing, rational thinking and planning, goal setting and help from those more intelligent.

YOu can do it if you take the first step. :)

Hi, ced080188!

What are some of the things that you like to do for recreation, please? You might not need professional therapy, but some things in your life that can help you to get a check on what your reality is.

Thanks!

I just would like to say that more intellegent is not nec. Just some one who knows a different point of veiw to help explain what I can't see yet. My IQ proves I am smart. My past proves I am Unstable.

And the problem is that is I do think rationally and am on the go all the time. I own a business and have a regular job. My family, friends. I do all these things daily but it is like I am not here. Full debates and convos but I am still not here it is subconscious
