Do i have a mental thingy going on, it's freaking me out?
. i'm 15 years old, and i imagine people. every day, i go into my own little world, i pretend to be somebody else living in another family in another state. and i do things with my "brothers and sisters". except when i do this, i'm not "me". I'm Bridget, or Leslie, or whoever i want to be. i'm to old to have imaginary friends. and i'm the only one i know who does this. and i have the perfect life in real life. 2 parents still married, an older brother and sister. friends, church, sports. but no matter how hard i try, i can't stop. i keep zoning out and going into my "world". i hate it. nobody knows i do this, and don't say tell someone because i'm not going to. i've been doing this since i was 6. also i whisper whatever i'm talking to my pretend people, and i act out stuff too. it's weird.
i don't smoke anything or do any kind of drugs. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, you are perfectly normal and fine the way you are. it's good to have imagination, where your mind knows no limits. imagination is good exercise for the brain... the brain is like a muscle,... it has to be worked and use everyday =)
when i was your age, i used to do that a lot... just go into my own little world. Because you have this wonderful thing called imagination... it means that you have the quality of being creative. So how about turning that imagination of yours and the characters you are and the things you do into something creative like creative writing... you'll have lots of adventurous stories, because you know how it is like to feel and be in your characters shoes!!!! =)

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and took some course in Mental Health Counseling in Graduate school.
The general rule of thumb: If it affects your daily life in a negative way then you should talk to someone about it. There are reduced fee and free counselors you could see. If it doesn't affect your life in a negative way then it's nothing to worry about.
Something you may not know. Several great writers, Nearly all great fantasy/sci-fi writers did the same thing as a youth. Stephen King had his own world in his head. J.R.R Tolkien did he same thing. You have a great imagination and mind. This could work to your benefit in the future!
Appreciate yourself!

I would recommend talking to a school counselor or a trusted adult.
Personally, I think it's just something you will eventually out grow with some help. Either way, you will need to get rid of it soon because it will hinder you in school and maybe socially.
Zoning out in class is never good and it's definitely not good to zone out all the time. Try and practice concentrating in class and hopefully you won't be zoning out as much as you used to.

I always imagine what my life before this life was and that happens to me
Imagining who I was before
It's perfectly normal
just don't talk out loud or people will think you are pyscho
if you want you could write down your day dreams in some journal
I'm 14 and i space out like that all the time like during class

It's okay I do the same thing, also 15, I haven't told anyone yet either, I just think of it as time alone. You'll be fine! I've been doing it since preschool.

go see a damned shrink! something coulda happened to u earlier in life that made you regress to your preschool years where ur imaginary friends are real. honestly, this could really mess up ur life if this keeps going on.

Maybe you have multiply personality disorder. Talk to a doctor.
