Alright so I'm twenty odd years old and as far back as I can remember I've been "living in my head".By that I mean I have set up a whole nother life in my mind. I will live in my mind for hours and sometimes days.It effects my life because I don't want to live my real life ill miss work and school when I was younger just to stay home and close my eyes.In this other life I've created I work,date,pay bills,hang out with friends and pretty much do what normal people actually do in real life... anyway without going into further details is this normal?

    It isn't healthy, to be so wrapped up inside your own mind. A person needs real friends and a real job, and real "adventures". Pretty soon, you are going to confuse real life, and the life that is only in your mind. I am concerned for your well being. Dispersonalization can take over your life, which it sounds like it already has. If you are missing school, and work, and would rather just live in your head, you need to get some help. What is it about your "real" life that is so bad that you don't want to actively participate in it?

      I feel i have so much i could say, but i feel its frustrating having to type it all here. I just started googling this an 30 mins ago. I have the same thing but a variation perhaps. Am trying to get into reality. Its hard. I suffer. I don't understand. Autumn really got 'us'

    It's not good to constantly live in a fantasy world and if you are becoming more and more withdrawn, I suggest seeking help.

    It's okay to be a day-dreaming person but there are extremes and you seem to be edging towards them. Please talk to someone or try to come back to reality before you lose contact completely.

    i am similar in that i spend most of my time pondering alll things within my head, but if it gets to a point were it is self destructive and you cant manage it, i would become worried. but you don't seem that bad
