The past few days I haven't been able to concentrate on anything due to my obsession with day dreaming. I've been doing some research and have discovered that doctors actually think this may be a disorder. Something like ADD without the hyperactivity.
My day dreams are usually of people I know. I create situations in my head that I probably won't be in and imagine myself being me without any of my social problems. It's something I started doing when I was in primary school. So it's something that is connected to my social anxiety disorder. My imagination is as vivid as real life. I should think myself lucky for that at least.
In school I was always good at creative writing and art. It was something I enjoyed the most as well. But for some reason it's something I forgot about as I got older. When my depression kicked in I lost interest in a lot of things that I used to like and started getting into things that were a product of my problems. One was talking to people on the internet because I discovered I had no problem typing words on a screen to someone I don't really know. That's when my internet addiction started.
Perhaps I should get out my art book and start drawing again. If I draw what I day dream about it could help get rid of this annoying problem.

It would be awesome to see your sketches, if you do get drawing - it shouldn't be too hard to upload them to picasa or blogspot.
