Hi, I'm in college, female, and I've been dealing with this for I'd like to say most of my life. I've used it to feel better from the most 
things in my life, but now it's replacing even the good stuff and I'm scared that no matter how good my life is I won't be able to stop going to fantasy world. Even this, I found out about this yesterday and I couldn't stop daydreaming about using this forum. I'm at the point in life where I can actually get what I want if I could just focus on my goals and dreams, but I keep falling back to daydreaming my days away and I guess most people don't realize how addictive this is and how it's not even like I want this to be my choice. All my dreams would never be realized if I can't get myself together now, in the critical years. I got finals approaching, I'm super stressed, I know that every day gets worse if I can't stick with my plan and get done what I knew I had to get done, but the one thing that is a constant problem, a constant crutch, is the daydreaming. I can't time it because it's not like other addictions where you need something to fulfill the addiction. It comes when it comes and it is impossible to leave until you are ready to. I can't really tell how much of my time it is taking up. I just know it's way too much. I've read about this and I know that I'm like this. I get emotional with the daydream. I sometimes talk in real life what is in the daydream. I would love a strategy to get through this.
