Ok . So about 3 years ago when me and my friend were in 7th grade we used to get on this site called Meez.com we used to. Meet new people interact in this little virtual world and act like how we really wanted to act . Well we started to "talk" to people like we really legit did like them . We would spend hours on the phone with these guys . But one day they all wanted pictures of us so we (trying to be sneaky ) took pics of really pretty girls and made fake facebooks . This went on for about a year . She stopped but me seeing nothing wrong with it continued . I made profile after profile . i made more because once the "persona" would become boring and less exciting getting less attention i would make a new one . Ive always had a low self esteem and never thought i was really pretty but after doing it solo i got bored with it and stopped making them .
Well, im now a sophmore in high school . I have a boyfriend now my grades are better !and everything but during the summer (2012) i was bored on facebook and noticed this really pretty girl who went to my school posted a pic and got like 200 likes in an hour . I got so jealous and all i could think of was "Wow . I wish i was her " . So i took a few of her pictures and made another fake profile i just said she lived in chicago instead of here . With in a month i had over 400 friends and i loved the feeling of people calling me (well her) gorgeous . So to keep the attention i would spend hours saving and editing pictures from her profile to put on mine . i made her an instagram and twitter . This is when i noticed things started to get out of control . On instagram i would save photos to my phne and post them i would post on the twitter as if it was my own . Around a month a go i started talkin to a guy named G (not his real name ) . Well he lives down here and i really think hes nice but he goes to a school on the same side of town as us and im really scared hell go up to the REAL her and find out I WANT TO STOP
I know i could potentially get her in this mess soo .I want to quit while this is small . I also want to tell him im not her but at the same time not hurt his feelings . . I know i have gotten my self in this mess and i want to end it ALL before this escalates to something bigger . . . And something bad happens

Aly, step back and ask yourself what's missing in your life. Addictions are often developed when a void needs to be filled.

Or, if you get an adrenaline rush... that might be the answer.

Below are a few of my favorite links that you might find interesting.

I did stuff like that back when I was 15. It was only a rather short(well, sort of) phase, and I completely stopped pretending to be someone else after about 3 months. I think back on it now, and I can hardly believe I *actually* did that in the first place. Even though i've been there before, I don't know what to say that can help you. I only suddenly stopped like that because I lost the internet, and never got it back until 9 months later.
