This is my problem: I'm trying to solve it all; like this world is one giant puzzle and we are the cogs turning, one-by-one until we finally unlock whatever it is that's supposed to be unlocked. Call it the grand scheme of things, the divine plan, destiny, or even the entropic decay of the universe from the big bang ticking away until it reaches nothingness once more, whatever it is you like....there's a pattern to it and I'm trying to figure it out.

This being said, I think I'm trying to escape depression by mentally searching for a deeper meaning in everything; that there has to be more to life than constant misery, unhappiness, loneliness, and mental anguish. I'm always day dreaming and losing track of time. Information just passes through one ear and right out the other and before I know it, 10 minutes have just passed by into oblivion.

Sound familiar? Am I really the only one that escapes like this?

I do it too.

Yes, I do too....not only coping with depression but a boring job. I am very thankful I have one! But sometimes it gets hard to 'hold myself up" by constantly motivating myself...I get tired, I'm human.

I don't know if it is so much escapism for me. I think it is that I just can't concentrate and my short term memory is poor when I am depressed. My information processing is faulty.............

[aeman]

Yes. I experience that too. And in doing so I tend to take off and build a whole new world. I live in my head for the better part of the day

[hanni]

I do it all the time, driving me crazy.

Hey, that sounds like the story of my life lol...always being anywhere but here. Coming up with all these plans of how I should be living my life etc...Honestly I don't think it's working for me. I wish someone would bash me in the head so my brain would stop turning and turning.
