i really always thought i was weird, or wondered if it was a dissociative disorder. i role play constantly in my head. much more so when i am depressed or stressed. i imagine myself as something pretty darn near perfect. i either make-up other ppl around me, or use ppl i know from real life. i fantasize that they are totally in awe of my awesomeness 
does anyone else do this or want to discuss it? |
I have done this my whole life, ever since I started grade school (from what I can remember). I do it all the time. At first, it didn't really do me any good, and I was once put on ADHD medication in first grade to do my work (Although, it wasn't just the pill that worked, but it was when mom threatened, and I quote from the key words that had me working in fear, "I will beat your ***.").
Now I use it in order to see who is talking to me in my head (The fallen angel- Mariah.), but just because I have maladaptive imagination doesn't mean that everything is fake. The spiritual entities have their own personalities and lives worth living too.
