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 ? ive never told anyone before and now i feel like a total idiot for telling complete strangers.

 GabrielWelcome to PC. I'm sorry I can't really relate to your issue, but you have found a good place here for support. I'm sure there are others here who can help you more than I. Are you in therapy at the moment? It might be a consideration if you aren't. I hope you can find some answers and good support here. I wish you well! Hugssss J |

Hi Gabriel,
I think a good place for you to go is the DID section of this board. Disassociate Identity Disorder-I think it stands for. I know very little about it but the people there will be kind and helpful 'cause they know a lot more about it. Welcome to PC!!!!!

Ooops, I knew I didn't know what I was talking about... it's actually "Dissociative Disorders".

Gabriel, I have an extensive “fantasy” world set up…sometimes I go there when I have problems dealing with the stress of life—sometimes I go there because I just like it. I also know it is not real. It is sometimes hard for me to stay here (in reality). A therapist might be able to help you sort out some of this. Maybe, you could brainstorm about why you have these alternate realities? Do you do it to escape this reality? I am not saying this is what is going on with you—its just my experience and what I have been through. For me it is not alternate personalities, it is more of a world I have created in my mind. Please know that I can relate to your feelings about what you are going through--you are not alone. Feel free to PM me. DePressMe
