This is moderatly long, so if you dont have enought energy to read the whole thing, just read the paragraphs that are Marked to read, ebcause those are the helpful ones.
Now, dont want you to think that having a imaginary compaion is the greatest self-helping mechanism, thought it is very helpful, rerember the main goal is to reach a point of full control, and a feeling of control, i am still on this journey. I have not reached it yet.
**Read this,This is important**--You an me have things in common, about 2 years ago I got trapped in my imaginary world, i went soo deep, i was far from living in reality, i almost lost my mind. I made up stories because I realized i lacked social skills, about me being a Huge buisness executive (by the way, that's what i made ritchie) but i realized that none of this real, the reality is, im just sitting here at home, with a boring life.
The feeling of discust haunts you, that's why my advice is dont go far in your imagainary world, try somehow to not use it as an escape. It makes you feel low, because I realize im not achieving anything in real life.
**This is also important, Read** -- If Ritchie is around too much, i get annoyed and dont find him helpful. He comes around on occations, and that is what makes it soo great i get exited because i havent seen him in a while, so I never get tired of him. He's comforting during stress, but if its too high, my mind doesnt have enought energy to simulate him, because its deverting all the energy to deal with the high stress. But he's comforting after, kinda like a fire to sit next to in the cold.
Make you imaginary friend similar to Ritchie, dont let her be around too much becuase it makes you irrtible. But let her come on occations and just talk to her about what your doing, and talk things out about what to do.
All the wise....
Matt
