Sometimes it's hard to face reality. Sometimes I want to just curl up in a little ball and escape into a fantasy world created in my own mind. A world without fears or anxieties, without pain and mistrust. I want to escape to a world that doesn't exist anywhere, never has and never will. Maybe I am crazy!!!

I'm more of the person that would love to live on an island by myself. Or just die and forever be out of pain. The only thing that keeps me going,right now, is caring for my elderly mother (dad died in December). I've never been so alone...feel all the medications, therapy or treatments in the universe will never help me. I had to put my life on hold in order to care for my love ones. Just lost my boyfriend, he has no hope for me right now. I'm struggling more than ever and have to keep strong for my mom

Me too.

Hi alli katherine

I'd say sometimes you just need an escape reality..........to keep on going
So nothing wrong with sometimes curling up in a ball and escaping into a fantasy world, as long as it doesn't cause you too many problems IRL...........and if you need to maybe try to supplement that with other "escapes"........for some it might be "losing themselves in exercise at the gym", tuning out with music, doing mindfullness exercises, doing something creative............just finding a break from "the cold light of day"
Of course escaping from "stuff" can be much easier said than done at times.........but if you can allow yourself that at times.........then go for it if you need to.

But effects of..........fears..........anxieties..........pain.........mistrust..........don't always subside because you want/need them too..........however hard you try...........without some support...........so hey, if you need any support with what you're going through.........here is a great place to find some of that
