I've been severely depressed for a long time and my biggest problem is maladaptive daydreaming and dissassociating from the stuff happening around me in order to not get stressed and overwhelmed. 

I'm just really isolated and have almost no friends. I have a hard time finding the energy to socialize. Sometimes I create fictional people in my head to comfort me when I'm feeling particularly low. I really want to stop doing this because I think it's slowly destroying my life and keeping me from being able to live in the real world. 

I figured...since we're all depressed here...maybe we could help each other? I don't know exactly what I want, just a friendly buddy to talk with. It would if you're a fellow daydreamer or have similar issues. 


I'm a 25 year old (F) grad student if that matters at all.
