Am I Depressing Myself? What could be wrong?

Question

Since I was around five, I started daydreaming this little world in my head, full of dynamic characters, plots, etc. These characters acted out a lot of things I was feeling at the time, anger, sadness, and such. As I got older, the characters have become more dynamic, and it's not that I think they are real, it just that, when daydreaming about them, which I do constantly and I also write about these experiences, I mostly imagine depressing situations that are sometimes related to my own life, sometimes, they are not. My personality confuses me too because I can never focus on doing one particular thing, I leave so many things unfinished and aspire to do something new. My mood changes with the weather or with...anything. What is wrong with me?

Answer 1

Sounds like you are very creative but without a way to develop the creativity....sometimes its easier to daydream and in daydreams we can find our answers its not an issue unless it becomes more daytime and less reality...look for avenues to develop your thoughts wite stories, paint pictures..I think you aspire to new things because you try and dismiss things that arent for you, I was very similar until I found my creative outlet....explore the world you'll find your focus.

Answer 2

Sounds like an artist to me :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with you. But...

If you're really worried about your ability to focus, go to a doctor and take the drugs he tells you to..they'll help but they won't resolve the way you are forever.

Talking to a therapist can be very relieving as well..from personal experience I found it was awesome to vent as much as i needed to for one hour a week, and this person actually listens and tries to sort out your thoughts.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

I was diagnosed with it and i have the same problems. Like i never finish anything b/c im to busy thinking of something new to start, .

Mood swings ..

the day dreaming and creating your own liitle world.

Often children create characters in their mind to protect them from real life situations.  You may not be able to handle certain things as a child but your characters: Jimmy, Rose and Sarah can.  It's a defense mechanism....  

Sometimes when children are severely abused they create these characters and they turn into personalities....It's called Dissociative Identity Disorder...A disorder formerly known as Multiple personality disorder.......... I'M NOT SAYING YOU HAVE THIS.  Just babbling.

Anyway, it's worth looking into the term, "DISSOCIATION."

It's not a bad thing.  People dissociate all the time...it's also known as DAYDREAMING.
