I made up a girlfriend am i insane?!

Question: I made up a girlfriend am i insane?

About 2 years ago in sixth form, there was this girl that i liked. she was part of our group of friends. i slowly began to develop a crush on her and towards the end of sixth form, around january of our final year, i confessed my feelings for her. she of course said that we were just friends. she then said that we should keep it between us. i was ok with this as i'd been rejected before and it was also retarded of me to expect something to happen. anyway as time went on she'd avoid me completely and i felt very hurt by this. when we'd all sit by the table she wouldn't even look at me and she'd try and sit as far away from me as possible. we'd avoid eye contact and wouldn't even speak. During that same time i developed a "crush" on a dead celebrity. I'm not gonna say who, but yeah i really liked her. I'd imagine that she was my girlfriend and we'd go dancing and kiss all the time. I even became depressed because of this and would want to die just so i could be with her. I even imagined that we'd gotten married and everyone was happy for us. I would lay in bed and feel incredibly sad. The sadness was exacerbated by the fact that sixth form was coming to an end and i had no friends or any plans for the future. I was suffering from social anxiety and my depression also kicked in because of that girl. Two years later i'm now on medication and slowly becoming normal and trying to figure out why i'm alive. So am i insane or something?

Answers:

your not insane. sounds like you have some kind of un founded deep seeded depression though. the best advice i can give you is to get into some kind of hobbie or activity that you really enjoy, something you can get totally absorbed in. either a sport, learn how to skate board, play basket ball, baseball, learn to play an instrument, learn to paint and draw, if your into card or board games there are groups for that. you seem to be a good at writing, what about writing creative stories and joining a club where you meet other people and share ideas?

the whole point of what im suggesting is to get your mind into something positive and get you out meeting people who have the same interests as you. try something out! i just took up snow boarding this winter. i never thought i would be good at it, but im actually getting really good at it and its now something i enjoy. just TRY something!

i hope this helps you!

You are not insane. it just sucks that your friendship with this girl blew up, then, you fell into a deep depression, and your problems cause you to fantasize about a girl that didn't reject you. You have to give your treatment time to work. You aren't insane by any means, everyone fantasizes to a point, yours just went farther .

i dont think your insane. i just think all the anxiety and depression might have caused this. it's obvious you're getting better with time so just keep your head up. if you are seriously concerned about your sanity i suggest you ask a doctor about that and not random people online. hope i helped.

no but what you did was unhealthy and as long your on medication for your depression and anxiety disorder you should be fine, but see someone immediately if these stop working

It will take time for your treatment to work

No but WHY would u make up a girlfriend man?

you need to see a phsycologist...they will really help
but ask the same questiion to yourself...is it normal?? You;re not crazy because you know its not normal
other people would fight about it..
just try to let it go, it is unhealthy
having a crush on a dead celebrity is not crazy and their are alot of people like that BUT being sad and depressed about it or thinking about it too much , makes it unhealthy
if its hard to let it go....see a phsycologist...but first think about it, is there really a reason to be sad? Your not the only person whos been rejected here.
you will find a person who loves you the way you are
and then youll say... thank god i waited for her : )
