Oh, my…yes, I am glad I am not the only one that fantasizes as a coping mechanism. My fantasies helped me when I was being abused and could not deal with the world. But, Now, they prevent me from facing reality. When life gets stressful, I tend to live in my head as a way to escape. In my head everything is absolutely perfect. And, of course, my real life is never perfect…so I am never satisfied with it. Wow, Mouse, you really hit a button for me. I have never really thought about it like this before. Thanks! I am going to talk to my T. about this in our next session.
