Yes, Amandafran,
I've been experiencing this from time to time. Sometimes it's really nice, but othertimes the daydream is actually a nightmare. Don't worry that you're losing your mind. You are just using one strategy to "escape" the current world for another. We all do this from time to time, using different strategies (vacation?). Your strategy is simply more extreme than many others'. Definitely talk to a therapist about what this strategy is doing for you, and whether it is adaptive to your current situation, a habit that you picked up along the way, and how you can go about changing the habit so that it is not so distressing to you.
sorry you're hurting. Sometimes our own minds are scarier than any horror movie, huh?
