I created someone else in my head, they have no name for the moment, I created them, just to take my place when I feel down and overwhelmed… Is it wrong ? I don’t think they want to stay but they don’t wanna leave either, ik it can be unhealthy but I need them, I’m so lost idk what to do
They doesn’t take control, I just call them when I need to rest. (I’m 17) I’ve been feeling so down these days I couldn’t let people see how I’m feeling, so I called for help, and they arrived, they share my memories and thoughts, but they have no emotions, they just handle the situation when I can’t do it
well not really, when I feel too down to act normal, I just let them front
I often feel like I’m running in auto pilot, I’m walking, i’m talking, but I am not talking nor walking, this is me, and this is not me
Well, I don’t trust the school consellors, and like meditation and breathing exercises could probably help me if i didn’t keep forgetting doing it. These are things to do regularly, but I always forget about it, and when I remember I’m just too lazy
Ik I’m complex x)
dissociating you said ? It’s probably this I don’t know, probably some attention disorders or something like that
No traumatic event in particular, I’ve “just” been feeling really depressed (at the point that I almost wasn’t able to get up one morning) constantly for a year or so
I see, thanks a lot !

Look its upto u if they wanna stay or leave. For that u hve to clear all things in ur mind which r messing up. Vent out everything burdening u from inside.
Just clarifying the person you are talking about is fictional right means they don’t exist in real life but you have created them.
They are fronting for me when I can’t act like i’m good
See If you can imagine a whole person then I say u should be proud of your imagination skills until and unless its totally in control and I guess with out imagining stuff we can’t live our life.
And always remember these words-“Keep your eyes closed and mind wide open, you will make a new whole world” -by Bridge to Terabithia
Why to just create a person when you can create a whole world.
I live in my own world since the age of 11 (or probably younger) I’ve created myself a wonderful world, but I can’t always stay in this world, because sometimes reality hits, and hits hard. So they take my place so I can stay in my world
I am 17 now and lives in my own world of course you can’t live in that imaginary world always but can you make the you real world like an imaginary world and if yes then start working on it
the thing is, I’ve never let people meet the myself in the imaginary world, they think I’m all stable and smart, that I’m quite comfortable with myself, while I keep overthink about everything, I’m always too lazy, I forget everything, and I have su*cide thoughts, and a lot more that I don’t tell anyone except my closest friends
if you are in this stage then my case is even worse lol
oh ? do you mind telling me ?
No one is therapist or psychiatrist here! And I feel this is not casual advice you are seeking! It is better if you go to a professional for this! Consult a therapist or psychiatrist they can guide you better
I don’t want to go to a therapist by myself, and i’m not going to let my parents know I need one, I know i’m making everything harder, but I just can’t
Okay if you don’t want to go! Calm down don’t stress over it. See if you have Asthama (bhagwan na kare aisa kuch ho) but just an example of you are feeling difficulty in breathing what do you do? Hide it from your parents of seek medication? Let’s say you want to hide it, how long you can hide or suffer? There might be lung infection it might spread more right? Isn’t it good to get treated anything at early stage? I am not at all saying that there is something hugely wrong as I said we are no one to know that! So if you can go professional they will give you the best advice! To keep the person or to let them go or if us is really normal/abnormal to be that! I know people and infact myself always regretting not seeking professionals in early stage! Try to talk to your parents first if you feel they are not taking it in right way then try to talk to any of your closed one’s! Not taking treatment (small or big, normal or abnormal) is always a bad option! It’s okay be mature about this and talk to someone ❤️❤️
I’ve told my closest friends about how I feel, and what is wrong, but I really can’t tell my parents
Sometimes friends/parents might themselves be clueless about the treatments! So share with them as much as possible but if you are not getting any solution from them then you can try for little therapy yourself! I know it all costs but health is important as you know! Also as someone said above untill and unless u r in control it is fine! But if it is controlling you then don’t let anyone else control you! Then it is really important of treatment! Just don’t stress about it! Chill karo
Thanks I guess, but I don’t wanna let them leave, It’s kind of comfortable, not to be in charge of everything, I can just calm down, and take back the control when I’m okay again
That’s not how life works! It might backfire at times it might not behave the way you want in future and it might go so far that at one might you rest too much and they control too much! I know it feels relaxed at this stage but it’s might not be good idea to give your life on someone’s hands! Be a champ, be a brave person and take control over your own life! Good or bad do things by yourself this is your life you should be boss of it! No matter how much help u r getting take charge of your life. Trust me it’s out of ur comfort zone but it is better to take experts advice instead of regretting anything later!
well you know, I first let them in charge when I was about to “delete myself”, so I think I’m gonna stay like this for a moment because I’m not ready to die…
Okay if this feels good as of now! But just remember don’t let anything control you even if you yourself don’t want to. Think about it for sometime there is no rush of anything! Lots of strength to you ❤️❤️
Thank you !
