Is it normal to interact with my daydreams daily?

While in class daydreaming I do just that, think about it in my head and get lost or whatever. But at home on the other hand I'll really get into it, imaging all types of scenarios with my ex or family or friends. I'll talk out loud sometimes or change my actions if I'm imagining someone there with me. I've done this for as long as I can remember and I'm now 17. I most often do it when thinking about having conversations with my ex, getting the closure I never received.

    I was always kinda in my head a lot for most of life, but now in retrospect it seemed to be more like a broken record than actually giving me any real closure. To be honest things like journaling, attending a twelve step program like Codependents Anonymous, working with a qualified therapist or even talking to a member of the clergy give more closure on issues of resentments, fears and harms you may have done to others. Prayer, meditation, reading self help and recovery literature as well as challenging negative self talk and even doing positive affirmations can all help as well.

    I do want to admit and own up the fact that I've always had a difficult time keeping a journal. There were a lot of issues with my mom reading my diary, listening to my phone calls and opening my mail in my youth. If you're like me you can always get a diary app and password protect it. I have a very hard time writing down my most personal thoughts, because I'm afraid of having my privacy violated.
