i am 19 years old and i have been daydreaming excessively since i wasat least 12. i use to get in trouble at school because my teacher would tell my mother that i would always daydream. she would tell my mother that it seemed like i was in my own world. and in a way she was correct. my daydreaming has affected my life in a very negative way. sometimes i would just sit on my bed and have my eyes wide open, and just stare at the wall. i would be daydreaming about a made up live...like a movie. something i would even talk it out without even realizing it. just the other day i was in class and i was daydreaming, and i laughed. i came back to reality, and i was like...okay. i know i might do it in private..but in public is a whole different story. there have been times when i have been driving and would be so deep in a daydreaming that i would be just driving without realizing where i am going. alot of the times my daydreams prevent me from getting the sleep that i need. excessive daydreaming is really interfering with my everyday life. but the funny thing is i like daydreaming. it allows me to be in my own world. have a life how i want.its a terrible addiction. i know i need to get some help..but truth be told i am kind of embarrassed.
am i the only one w/ this issue
