| Stuff like that is done as a natural coping mechanism. You don't need to seek instructions on the internet. If you're not currently relying on daydreaming as a stress releaver its probably because you dont currently need to and not because you don't know how to. |

| I don't buy that "accept yourself" stuff. Socializing with other people helps ease the stress of the day and if you dont fit in you have to find unnatural ways of doing that, such as substance abuse, which is a problem but if you're a freak like me, what isn't a problem? |

| It would be nice if there was a term for this. Schitzotypal seems to represent magical thinking, but also beliefes that what you are fantasising about is true. I never thought my dailly fantasies were real. like in the show scrubs I can tune in and out of them. I just know that it's hampering my soc... |

| I am currently getting my medical help through VA, and I plan to get diagnosed if possible, but I dont know if the VA will be able to get this done for me. I will try though. We have universities too, so I may be able to see someone at Chapel Hill, but that is way down the road. I have so many othe... |

| I was just wondering what made some of you decide to try and diagnose yourself without the help of a docotr. Or why you felt you need to. And why some of you cant see a doctor? Im 19, out of work and leaving for the military pretty soon. Socially in my life I have never had any freinds besides 1 in ... |

| I've been experiencing this phenomenon for so long now I honestly can't even remember when it started. I don't know if it was a few years ago, or when I was a young teenager.

"Me: Hi, do I know you

That's all I do. No need to explain or apologize for my apparent flaws. In my mind. |

The consequence can be fairly severe if word get out and they diagnose you. Boot camp wasn't alot of fun. It was only four weeks though. The military not bad once you get ... |
