Help! I am falling into depression again from being in love with someone who doesn't exist. I made up this guy in my head to help me combat my depression in middle school. I started using him even more after my first serious relationship ended. It has been 7 years since I created him and I am so attached to him, I do not know what to do. I still day dream and hope to meet him, which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have a boyfriend. I still love my real boyfriend don't get me wrong, but sometimes when I'm alone I find myself daydreaming about my imaginary guy. So then when I come back to reality I fall into depression because I have never found my imaginary guy like I hoped. I feel terrible because I am caught between the two and don't want to hurt them. Even the imaginary guy he exists to me. I already went to a psycharist once about it and she was like "give it up" making me bawl my eyes out later. Please help, I'm cracking here. :'(

Sorry to use the word "I" so much this must be annoying to read

I would go back to a Psychiatrist - if your imaginary boyfriend is interfering with your real life there is a problem. You realize that. The question is how to get "him" out of your mind and life.
