Is it bad if I try to imagine people being there for me when I'm having a hard time? It makes me feel good when I do this. Am I just suppressing my negative emotions by doing this? I know it's not good to supress your emotions. I was told that you should express your feeling and not hold them in cause it's not healthy for you. I'm just confused right now and I don't know what to think. I'm just trying to make all the negative feelings go away but maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm really confused with everything.

I think it's common. Things go wrong and you imagine a "different reality" where things actually go well.. I think it's just another way to cope. However, you will have to confront reality at some point

I agree with the above. This is common I believe to 'create' a support network.

Well I thought that it might be a good way to cope but I don't know. I've been doing this for a while now and I feel like it helps me when things become too much to handle by myself.

I've done it, felt like I had to. If no one is there, and you desperately want to talk to that person, well, for me, words just come out of my mouth. I even imagine what I want to do with them. I think its completely normal, myself. Fantasizing, might be the word for it.
