So I don't know if this is related to my autism but I think it is so here goes. Basically when I was younger (around11-12) I would focus on my imagination a lot and I created a whole imaginary world that I lived in which kept me entertained and amused at the time. When I got a bit older around 15 I wanted an imaginary character of mine to somehow come to life so I started engaging in stuff like law of attraction and other stuff to make this fantasy girl character to come to life. I became obsessed and I had to start seeing a therapist who didn't help that much. Eventually it faded away up until recently and now I'm obsessed again and this time its just about wanting to live a fantasy life like in a anime or manga or something like that. Everything I find boring and uninteresting and hobbies that i previously liked have become dull thanks to this obsession that I have. I've tried taking my mind off it by finding new things to do or meditation and such stuff but nothing seems to cure this obsession with wanting to live in a fantasy world. I'm just stuck in life at this point as I don't know what to do all the time as everything is boring to me and I only want to live a pure fantasy life. I've tried seeing multiple therapists but they didn't do any good and living a normal life feels like torture sometimes. Sorry if some of that was unclear I just wanted to get it off my chest as I know that hyperfixations like this are connected to autism and I just wondered if anybody can relate to anything I'm going through.
