am i mentally insane ?

ok so my friend and i have somehow created this fantasy world, like we believe were psychic in a way, like we think everything we see in our fantasy world is actually going to happen, and sometimes it does. we spend a lot of time in this world, we believe we "have to do things" or cant be at certain places because "we're not suppost to" on a normal day we laugh at this and think we're just crazy, but theres some days where we like fall into a trip and we put off all other responsibilities trying to piece together our fantasy world. I then realized that i have always had a fantasy world, kind of like imaginary friends, i have a fantasy family , i have a mom a dad brothers and sisters, and sometimes i sit in my room and get very deep into my fantasy world, everyone in my fantasy family has a personality , even i have  a different personality in my fantasy world. i have been doing this for years now, i tend to do it when im sad or feeling anxiety, whenever i am beside myself i just go into my fantasy world and everything is ok, but i am beginning to think this is very unhealthy .. does all of this mean im mentally ill ? or is this normal ?

Just wondering....
"How old are You"?

A lot of us like to live in a fantasy world or use our imagination as it is easier to escape reality and everything happening around us.
It is not always healthy to withdraw into our world and the more we do it the more we can isolate ourselves from the real world which is not always the best idea.
It can be hard to face the world around us and confront our fears,
"Do You have anyone You can speak to such as a therapist or counselor"?

It's not normal.  (At least not in my culture.)

You say that you tend to do this when you are sad or anxious so I feel that it is a form of avoidance or dissociation.

Is your friend real?  Just wondering.  Sounds a bit strange that you both would do this.  Sometimes people can develop shared disorders.

It possibly wouldn't hurt to talk to a health professional about this.
