It's too complicated to spell it all out, so I'll keep it simple.

I have characters in my head. Sometimes I make them up, sometimes they are celebrity crushes. But I create stories and adventures and fantasies with them. The past couple weeks my characters have been fighting with each other, and I'm so overwhelmed by this. I need a break but I don't know how to think about something else or do something else when it is so overwhelming and consuming.

I can't expect anyone to know how to help me, but I've been very emotional lately and I don't know how I can get my mind to switch over to happy thoughts. Generally the way the characters behave correlates with how I feel, and right now I feel miserable.
