I almost forgot to ask this, but anyway, here goes. My doctor wants to know people's reasons for RPing, because she thinks it's weird, LOL. My reasons are because it's an escape and a chance to not be myself for a while, It's like a coping mechanism. But now she thinks people who RP do it because they don't like themselves as they are. This is an informal poll, but maybe it'll help change her mind? Guess we'll see...

'm just gonna copy and paste what I put on Tumblr on my personal..at least, the part of Rping.
There is a reason why I rp so very much, I am at a constant level of depression and roleplaying helps me fight it off. I won’t take anti-depression pills because I feel as though it only hides the depression and doesn’t really do anything to help it, in fact, anti-depression pills make me feel as though I am simply hiding behind a mask.
I don’t often open up about stuff like this, but that’s why I am online so much, that’s why I am always trying to talk to people, because I just want to stop the dark thoughts running through my mind and be happy for a little bit. Unfortunately I keep it to myself a lot, because I don’t want anyone worrying and I don’t want anyone pitying me and my constant depression.

This is my social outlet. Many people find it to be normal to sit at a party and drink, or sit in a room and play video games. I have met people through it. I have changed lives through roleplay.
Thirteen years ago, I met Sam. Yes. Sam. That Sam. The one that you talk to everyday. We've known each other since we were kids. We've never met in real life, but she has had big impacts upon my life.
I met Kaido through roleplay about seven years ago. I'm now marrying him.
I met Joy through Kevin about five years ago. She now calls me sister and niece. My grandmother has taken her in as an adoptive daughter, and has taken her child in as an adoptive grandson.
I met Nick through roleplay about five years ago as well. I've gotten to sit there and listen to his children grow up.
My first love was a roleplayer named Carys. She has since passed away, she passed away when we were fourteen of leukemia, but she is still the first love I had.
Two of my exes? Roleplayers.
My best friend? I met him through D&D at the high school cafeteria, and introduced him to all of you, Sven.
My parents? Roleplayers. They roleplayed D&D 2.0.
Go up to your doctor, and tell her that for some people, standing at a party making small talk about the weather, or the workplace, for some of us that's just goddamn boring. Some of us make friends through mutual interests, and that brings in some friendships that can last, literally, decades.
