I was not sure where to put this...what thread.

Does anyone one else just shut down into their own heads and fantasies about
Possible trigger:


Is this a way the brain relieves stress? I find myself just avoiding doing anything, laying down, closing my eyes and going into scenarios in my head. Ok sometimes it is not all doom and gloom. Sometimes it is about me being taken care of, loved and adored the way I never was.

I spend a lot of time up their in my head and avoid a lot of stuff outside my head.

Yes I have two therapists but is has been a sad realization that they can not be my parents, guardian, husband or take care of me outside of that 60 min weekly session and that if I did not pay them then they would not even bother with me soo it is all on me and I just feel like I am trying to survive until I die the way I am suppose to.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
