Ever since I (18F if that matters) was 10 I've always been stuck in my head. I've never told anyone in real life about this because I am afraid people will think I am crazy. I would make up scenarios for myself and it would eventually get so out of hand that I became uninterested in real events. In middle school it became even worse, I had no interest in my actual life. The main person in my daydreams was essentially my imaginary boyfriend. When I felt like I had no one, I knew he would always be around. After I actually started dating, those daydreams went away I felt a lot more at peace with myself. My "relationship" with my made up boyfriend was on and off. It was off when I was happy in a relationship and on when I was single/unhappy in a relationship. About a year ago I started dating my current boyfriend, and the daydreams stopped. However, recently the daydreams have come back and I am scared that it is going to affect my relationship. My real boyfriend and I are long distance now, and he is busy a lot. I think I fell back into my old ways because my real boyfriend isn't around 24/7 like how my imaginary one is. This might just seem harmless to a lot of people but it's concerning for me. A part of me wishes the relationship would be over so I could be with this imaginary person, but obviously that is not possible. My real boyfriend is the best thing I have in my life right now and I love him so much and It's so scary to think that I might sabotage my real relationship for a man that doesn't exist. I just don't know what to do
