Hi my depression and anxiety warriors, friends... I hace been divorced for 4 years still love her with the same intensity as when as I first met her. Now I don’t get to see her or talk to her at all. May be just a few times.

Dealing with my fathers passing last year has toppled me and to be honest at the age of 43 I never had imaginary friends of my own construct but they keep me company and they soothe me.

Is that weird ? Am I going crazier?

Appreciate your advice or your kind words you.

Love you all

Keep fighting

I'm almost 30 and have an imaginary bf that I've had since my teens (I do know he's not real, but it helps to imagine something hugging me when I need a hug). So if you're crazy, I am too.

Thank you ShadowGX, that boyfriend is a very lucky guy tell him I said and my dead Dad and my Polar bear say the same .

I'm sorry about your father.

It's sounds quite comforting if you have a strong enough imagination to have an imaginary friend or partner .
I try to imagine that I've won a huge amount of money on the lottery and that it will solve alot of problems , but my imagination is always sabatarged by my negative thoughts . All these problems start popping up and interfering with the day dream and making it go all wrong .

I wish I had a imaginary friend here at home, but all I have is 3 people that puts way too much drama, and turmoil in my life!!!!!!! All I want is peace!!!!!!!

Loneliness causes me to talk to myself under my breath as if I'm talking to another person or a friend, yes. I never used to be like that but I am now. Now, is that a form of craziness? Well, I can't say I really care because there's no one in my life for it to impact on, or to criticize me about it...

I'm like you and am all alone but not lonely. I go outside and there are many people walking around me until I go inside my apartment. I talk to myself too. I do this occasionally. I don't have imaginary friends though. I talk to myself to give myself comfort and to reassure myself. I know that my existence has some meaning to others around me. I feel depressed at times because I become tired easily. However, I know I have value as a person and am happy at times for finding satisfaction from the little things I do in my life. I sometimes feel so tired though and apathetic that it makes me depressed. But, the next day I try to feel better by going out and doing things. I see many people here in Tokyo too. I never feel lonely but know that in my darkest moments I feel all alone in my despair until I realize I am not alone in this world and should not feel pity for myself. I am rambling again. I apologize. I hope you feel ok and find things in life to make you happy.

I talk to my self, and I answer myself. If someone in my household asks me, I just tell them ( I am talking to myself) and they accept that, and let it go. I guess they just look at it as me!!!!!!! I also realize that even with people around, it can be very lonely at times!!!!!!!
