Is it normal to love a make-believe person this much?

Hey! ^_^ I hope this isn't too long :/

Well, this is gonna be kind of hard for me to write, but I'll try my best! :]

Okay, when I was really young, I created my own friend. I have always been socially awkward, and real people just seemed too intimidating ._.

Now that I'm older, I realized how attached I'm getting to this pretend person. I feel so suffocated by my love for them. I feel like I HAVE to love them. >_<

I remember when their face started to fade from my memory. It actually made me feel suicidal. I wanted to drink bleach and jump in front of buses. I just can't live without them, if I ever forget them I'll have to kill myself.

I just don't know what to do :( I feel so lost. I hate how much I love them! >_<

Doesn't anyone else feel this way? If so, did you ever get over your pretend person?

    I have been in love with many different fictional characters, which I think is normal especially for socially-awkward people (like myself). But I have never been suicidal over it before and I don't think that's healthy.

    I thinks its normal to have an emotional attachement like that, but if it upsets you that much then you need to see a doctor and maybe talk to a therapist?

    I am just now getting over my social awkwardness, and I didn't EVER have an imaginary friend....just keep him in your mind! Draw him out. That sounds really really cute, like I'd find it sexy that you fell in love with an imaginary person!
