Do you or have you used music as an unhealthy escape?
It wasn't until the pandemic hit until I realized how much I relied on music to "take me away" from reality. Headphones on for hours a day. I thought it was a healthy way to deal with my depression and anxiety but instead of being a healthy escape, it became an addiction. I suppose there is an overlap with maladaptive daydreaming/disassociation but it was like BAM. One day I woke up from being in a coma that started in my teen years to someone in their 30s. I just thought of myself as pretty asocial and was okay with it. Sorry. Tired and random.
