Ever since my mother abandoned me at a relatively young age, I've been living more in a fantasy land than reality. I've spent almost my entire life depressed to the point of considering suicide on a multitude of occasions, but could never bring myself to do it for fear of hurting my father. So, nearly 80% if not more of my life has been spent in my imagination...now I don't hallucinate, I simply zone out. It can happen randomly, at any time, in the middle of a conversation or whatever, and I've even failed classes due to it. I cannot control it. I don't even know it happens until I'm snapped awake. I typically imagine I have powers, or I'm hanging out with mythical creatures. Asides from struggling with school, however, it was never...dangerous to my life, unless of course, I wander out into the street, which I've done. Luckily the honking and cussing gets me back into reality. Now, however...I'm learning to drive. The other day...I ran a stop sign. The problem is...I zone out while I'm driving, and I can't control it...this is life threatening. Am I crazy? I have Graves Disease...could that be the cause? But then, I zoned out before I was diagnosed...what should I do?
I live in my imagination?

Oh, and my day dream w are typically quite vivid, enough to make me take a moment after snapping out of it to comprehend that it was just my imagination. Sometimes, I'll even respond aloud to the characters in my little imaginative fantasy, which is quite embarrassing, because I usually don't realize I'm doing it...
