I had the real world, a midworld and the other dimension. The midworld was a point between this world and the other dimension. I was determined that I would be able to travel through to the other dimension, as I could perceive things in the midworld (seeing things and hearing things).
For me it was double edged. I loved having a place were I was important and where things seemed to matter. But it was also terrifying and alienating. I thought that being in those worlds was the only chance I had to be somebody...I had no friends, no job, and couldn't see the point in real life.
This was only half a year ago, but my life is so different now. I have friends, I had an interview and got the job, I have hope for the future. Everyone says I'm so much better to be around now, and I feel amazing.
I was looking to the other world to fill in the gaps in my life, but if you fill those gaps with things from the real world, life becomes so much more meaningful.
I'm happier than I have been in years, and I honestly don't miss my other worlds now. I'm going to do everything in my power to stay in this world.
I hope you don't think I'm lecturing you, I just wanted to help see a different viewpoint.
