Does anyone else struggle with this? I am often preoccupied with fantasies of being famous of personally knowing a celebrity. I take it pretty far sometimes.

Hah, I get it sometimes, I sometimes think I'll end up with Taylor Swift but it's more like a "taxi driver" complex for me. How far do you take it?

Just spending a ridiculous amount of time caught up in fantasies...I sometimes fancy myself a celebrity of sorts and get the sense that others think I am famous or that I'm attracting a lot of attention and that everyone's looking at me etc. Pretty cray. And this is all happening while I'm on medication and not necessarily experiencing a mood episode. I probably have schizoaffective but have never been diagnosed as such. Who knows

Sounds similar to what happened to me back 2011, felt I was being watched by the paparazzi secretly.

I have fantasized about being a celebrity many times. Although my dad was friends with NFL players growing up. My dad has since passed away. My grandpa was also friends with politicians so we went to a lot of dinner parties growing up. So I fantasize about it, but it doesn't make me that excited because famous people aren't all what they're cracked up to be.

I do. I usually have to avoid TV and magazines otherwise I'd get wrapped up in them. I need better things to do!
