Something weird is happening. I don't know, I usually have these intense daydreams that I act out when I'm by myself, and I don't worry about them because they never get in the way, but last night it was hard to tell what was real and what was in my head. I had these vivid discussions with this girl in my head, was in my room pacing furiously crying and talking out loud to her. I knew she was in my head but this part of me didn't want her to be, I wanted her to be real, and it was like... I was trying to persuade myself that she was here?

I would laugh randomly and not notice it until after I did. I got a little scared but I was also overcome with this weird sort of feeling... like, a dim, buzzing happiness.. even that I was going absolutely mad, I thought it was beautiful. And, I'm not even sure what triggered this, I just cracked underneath all of this wanting to come out before but fighting it with cutting, cigarettes, medicine, anything to numb these urges.

This morning, an anxiety attack woke me up. I really did NOT want to get up, I had this intense fear that today would be awful.. like, a phobia, like.. I really did NOT want to get up. It's happened before though. I got up, and voices, little whispers started. In my head, little whispers, started filling up my head and I couldn't control them but I la dee da'd my way to the bus stop, and the whole bus ride. I don't remember most of the whispers, they would come and go so quick, the only ones I remember fully was when the bus came, with each footstep I felt "mental, hospital, mental, hospital" and on the bus, I heard two of them fighting and I don't remember over what but I found it funny.

I sound fucking insane, but it was bound to happen at some point.

Later in the day they went away completely, came back for a little bit when I got home but all it really did was just fog up my head, and just now I cut up both thighs just because I really wanted to, but I've done that before. It's the most I've cut in a while, though, both thighs are completely fucked.

I'm calm and collected right now, which is why I'm taking the time to write this out. Tonight I'm almost positive I'll have another "daydream", or hear more voices or something and I just don't know what to do.

Hmmm, this sounds horrible. I have experienced things like this before and they only got worse. Do you see a psych or councilor? If you do I would tell them about this, if you dont then I strongly advice speaking to someone, a doctor, teacher, school nurse or school councilor.

Anyone who can help, the sooner you can do it the better. I know its hard and it takes a lot of guts and courage but you wont regret it, I garuntee it.

I kinda know what you mean, or atleast the daydream thing. I haven't had voices properly in a long while. Your mind is a powerful thing and like Nat said it's best to speak to someone about it before it gets out of hand :) :hug3:

Have you ever read about Maladaptive Daydreaming Dissorder, this is one of my diagnoses and you've described what i have quite clearly, wiki it and if it sounds like you maybe mention it to a doc :)

It actualy makes me feel better to hear someone else say this...
I do the exact same thing, only I describe it as being in "my own world" almost all the time.

I do this all the time. I never knew there was a word for it.

I also agree with Nat. If you're currently seeing a counselor of some sort, I definitely suggest talking to him/her about it.

I have a best friend who went through the same thing and my best advice would be to talk to someone close to you about it like a best mate or if you have one your boy/ girlfriend as they know you well and they would be the best person to help you out as they know you well and so can help you on a more personal level with it than someone else may be able to xx and the most important thing is don't give up on it as I have before and it just gets worse if you leave it xx and I'm here if you want advice so if you want just pm me and I'm here to help xxx
