“Don't know what i am going through”
22 male. From childhood i was too much into daydreaming and i use to thought that it is going to be my reality when i grow up. It was not fantasy but real life scenarios. I use to day dream like i am giving interviews to media and i am a big personality. In reality i have achieved nothing. I realised it too late when i reached 22. Then i started having a fear of being sexual attracted to gays. It was never before. I started having fear of god. I have sudden mood swings. I just create imaginary stories in my bead where i am fighting people and arguing and it is increased alot now. The moment something gets clicked in my mind my mood gets change. I don't know what to do with my life. I was so obsessed in daydreaming. I have lost my life i think. I don't know what i am going through. I never had a girlfriend and a successful career. Not having a girlfriend is not a problem but i spent my childhood just daydreaming and thinking that this is hiw my life going to be. I realised it later it is daydreaming. What should i do? I have no social life. I don't want it. Do i have mental disorder?

Fantasy is fine, but if you start living in it means you are detaching from reality. many causes for this and you need a professional evaluation.
You are young with an opportunity to learn life skills. I would recommend an evaluation by a psychologist who practices cognitive-behavior therapy. You can remodel your life!
You describe many symptoms that are concerning. However, I do not think it is ethical or appropriate to give you a diagnosis. I suggest you take your concerns to a licensed therapy professional, because at the end of the day, it seems like you are struggling with moving forward in your life. *Carol R. Zeits, Ph.D.*
