Is it normal that i make up stories in my head that seem real?
I make up these stories in my head a lot. Like a new world, people, time frame, everything. And then I act it out in my head. I do it a lot, like really excessively. Most of the time it is one thought that lasts about a week and I will just keep adding to it. I will end up thinking I am the main person in the story I just made up and pretend all of these bad things are happening to me. I do it nearly all day until I fall asleep, I even have to take sleeping pills so I can get my mind to shut up long enough to fall asleep. I get really into it and I will think that what I just made up or was thinking about is real or really did happen. I sometimes can't tell what is real or what is my daydream. I can't seem to get it to stop, is it normal?
