Hello everyone!
My name is F and i'm 23, i've had problems with anxiety since i can remember and i wanted to have an opinion about some things i've been noticing in the last year.
I've always loved fantasy/urban fantasy books and reading in general, they gave me such a relaxed feeling! 
Now i'm wondering if i like them so much because when i read my mind is in another place and i do not have to worry about my life and the burden of my anxiety. 

Like some kind of brain trick

Another thing i do, is walking, when i'm not able to cope with emotions i walk back and forth for hours, especially in the evening because no one notice.
Often, i also listen to music and daydream a lot while i do this

I wanted to know if someone recognises these coping mechanisms, i'm trying to feel less lonely :)
