hello i am a sixteen year old girl and i have multiple problems i want to ask about. the first is this problem i have, mainly when i am alone but sometimes when i am bored, i uncontrolably create scenerios and imaginary friends who i talk to and discuss issues with it is very complex and these scenerios tend to be things like pretending to be another person and living life as though i were them. they are also influenced by things that occur in my life in reality, like if i were to see a film i may pretend to be one of the characters, or i may pretend to be a celebrity. i am conscious that i am doing it but i can t seem to stop myself and i recognise that substituting reality for my fantasy is abnormal and needs to change. the second issue is that think i may have some anxiety problems because when i am alone, although they are decreasing in frequency, i have minor panic attacks which last about 5 minutes but i have 2 or 3 within the space of a hour. these tend to consist of shaking, feelings of nausea and dizzyness again i am unsure why i do this as i know there is nothing to worry about but they still occur. please could you tell me what these problems are likely to be and how to go about rectifying them. thank you, anonymous
