    She wouldn't have you committed. This is what she's there for silly. ^^ You need to tell your therapist.

    Sometimes I get obsessive over a book or video game, w/e, and I start acting like the main character. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens. I suppose because I'm so into it it seeps into my real life. Haha!

      I feel happier reading this comment. :) Just pulling away into normality to post the question kind of drew me to one spot, you know...like I could be myself for a while. And this made me feel even better.

      So, I guess I'll tell my therapist and see what she thinks. But she might send me to a psychiatrist for meds.... I tried a month of Prozac in high school once (my mom's idea) and ended up hurting myself.

        You can refuse if she does, but it seems like a behavioral problem you don't need meds for. Like you said you can change it but you don't want to, there's the difference. It sounds similar to maladaptive daydreaming. It's really interesting actually. I do something similar with daydreaming where if anything or anyone bugs me I go into a rage. If I'm forced to stop or not finish the story going on in my head I get really pissed off, stressed out and sad. It has always been the one consistent way for me to cope with my problems since childhood.
