How about playing air piano when everyone else has gone to bed? :) It doesn't get much worse than that, though.
I appreciate your comment. I have trouble with depression and anxiety (hence the shrink) and when things were at their worst in the past I buried myself in my fantasy so much that I really did lose sense of who I was. I mean, I knew my name and everything, but... you know. It was unhealthy, and it prevented me from actually getting out of the depression.
My real life happened to get more dramatic, fortunately (I started uni, etc) and that was the beginning of getting my perspective back and getting sort of better. But I think that's why I now associate fantasy with mental illness, and have a sense of shame about it.
Except here in this forum, of course, where I dump all the boring details of my psyche on everyone! Sorry... I actually don't find myself nearly as interesting as I'm making out. Self-indulgent blathering over.
