Why Do I Have Imaginary Friends as an Adult?

Question by jill: Why do i have imaginary friends as an adult?
I am an 18 year old female. I have always had made up friends for as long as i can remember. They have always been males, and Im not sure why. I have tried to research different conditions on the internet of what a term for this may be but cant seem to find any. i frequently find myself lost in my own mind thinking about who i am in my head and thinking of random scenarios of me hanging out with these people in my mind. they are better friends than my real friends, often i find myself spending time alone so i can focus better on my friends in my head. I know they are not real when i really think about it but most of the times i forget that they are not real people. I think they influence me more than anybody else in who i am today.I dont know if this has anything to do with it but when i was younger i was neglected and abused by my parents. but the physical and sexual abuse didnt occur until i was 14 years old, so iwasnt a child. i dont know if that matters. I have frequent problems with depression and suicidal tendencies since i was 12. often the people in my head offer solace to the pain or reflect in and make me hurt even more. frequently i have fantasies of my friends getting murdered or my family getting murdered or seriously injured and when that happens i usually try to be the hero or try to get revenge for them. what does this all mean? does anybody know of any terms that i can research in what this may be called?

Answer by gaylene B
Many woman campaigned for prohibition as hard as they campaigned for the right to Vote (Suffrage). Alcohol was blamed for spousal and child abuse as well as other crimes. Many people believed that by banning alcohol it would eliminate these crimes in the future.

In actuality, spousal and child abuse continued and is still a problem today and crime actually increased during prohibition. It is believed that the reason the 18th and 19th amendments passed is because of the number of men overseas during WWI who were unable to vote.

What Kind of Physician Should I See About a Vicodin Addiction?

Question by Shell Laylee: What kind of physician should I see about a Vicodin addiction?
I’m a 22 year old female trying to kick a 2 year long vicodin addiction. I’m not sure what kind of physician to see or where to go. There are outpatient clinics that specialize in addiction and I also have a psychiatrist but both of whom are unable to see me for another month. Is there any way that a family practitioner or a pain specialist could help me out? If so, how do u think they would go about treatment? Any advice is appreciated,
much love
