was hoping someone could help me..

i dont know how to "classify" an issue i have.
its not skitz or anything but basically ive convinced myself of an alternate reality. BUT I KNOW ITS NOT REAL. but its basically, consumed me and i forget that these people are only my mind and i really have to remind myself. then i try and think.."ok WHO AM I?" and i find it really hard coz i keep thinking of these "alternate realities" where i have different friends (which dont exist) and everything, NEARLY a totally different life, but its still me?

can anyone relate ?

like in such a way that u act different
like u mite be "professional" in one reality
and then "fun loving bubbley" in another???

sorry just trying to understand it more....

My brother did this too. he preferred spending time in his room writing and daydreaming about these made up places and stuff. He never forgot they were not real and stuff. It was just his way of sorting things out and having some queit time for himself. Later on when he was caught writing and daydreaming about this he-man vs the Hulk type place his teacher referred him to the school shrink for an evaluation. It turned out that he didn't really have a mental disorder by the standards of what was a mental disorder and what wasnt back in those days, he was just considered what they call a loner - person who would rather be left alone to do their own thing and used their imagination to do that. later on when he continued into adult hood to use this way of coping he was diagnosed as being Borderline Personality Disorder with anti social behavours.
