I can really relate. It's hard to be the only person in your life who truly gives a damn about you.

I want to comment on this:

The sucky, everyday reality that is making you so upset is not the only reality. It's not even the reality in which you spend the most time.

On average, people spend a third of their lives asleep. The average person also spends half of his/her waking hours daydreaming. That leaves one-third of the time for "real" life. You get to spend 66% of your time in alternate realities! Hopefully life is better in at least some of them.
