I realized there's not much to chase if I'm not even on his radar.
Now I'm stuck with choosing between a real-life coworker who hardly knows I exist, and my characters whose been with me for the past seven months.

Dr skipper .....Being able to say good bye to your fantasy characters and live in reality, takes lots of courage and shows you have grown strong and mentally more stable. I know so many people that are not able to take this healing journey you have undertaken, many of which are in the mental health unit because they have lived so long in their fantasies with their imaginary friends/characters that they are now unable to function in the world of reality outside of the hospital lock down settings of total / partial inpatient mental health facilities/hospitals.
I came on here today not sure if I wanted to read because a majority of posts on websites like this one are jammed full of the negative sides of mental illness. it is so good to be able to come on psych central and read positive healing posts of someone being able to heal and move forwards in their lives..
I am so happy that you are able to heal and continue to move forwards along your healing path. Keep up the great work you are doing.
