bro i genuinely can't keep going on like this. I don't know how to stop. It's like an addiction. I've been doing this since 6th grade, and I just graduated from hs. It's getting in the way of my relationships with people, draining me. I miss out on plans and opportunities because I'd rather stay in my room and do this shit. It's like the only thing that's keeping me sane; it helps me escape the disappointment I feel for not being at the point I want to be in life. I create another reality where everything is perfect. I know it's bad for me, but I don't know how to stop. I hate myself and just wish I could stop and become the person I want to be and be normal. How do I stop??
