obsessive daydreaming

i've had this habit since i was a teen. i found when i feel bad i start daydreaming about a situation where i'm doing great. but it's not just once in a while it becomes an obsession. then when i do stop i feel drepressed and anxious. i know this is not good for me and i've tried to put limits on it but it still seems to esculate and take over... anyone else do this?

Oh God! Yes! Tell me about it! It sucks

I've done this too for way too long, since I was a child. I create this scenes where I'm totally under control in my life and with others. I've realized that I'm living my life thru daydreaming and not actually "living"

thanks for your comment. i was beginning to feel like the only one who did this. if i do it too much it i get my anxiety symptoms and drepression. i'm trying to get a handle on it. sometime it seems like it's taking over.
