I certainty have this condition as well, however I don't suffer from it, I actually enjoy it.

In my daydreams I live a alternate lifestyle where I'm a NT, a well as a few other running themes in my head.

This might be the only "condition" I enjoy having, my real, actual life just sucks, as others have said, this condition keeps me sane. :)

I'm not sure I'd use the term 'suffer'. I like it, even though its a bit of a mind-bender sometimes! And I see why they say its addictive, but its a coping mechanism for me, it's fun, and it doesn't hurt anyone, does it?

I can't do the story part as well as I used to, I kind of want more practise! :D
After hearing about some of the dreamers on here, and their worlds, I want to get back into my sorties and make them better and more advanced.
