I want to make clear I will never publish any of this, I know it's really bad. I would be so embarassed if someone found it.
I'm just doing it for me.
But is this escapism a healthy coping mechanism or is it a sign I'm losing it?
I wish so hard I could live there, in the world I made for myself.

Its only unhealthy if its negatively affecting your day to day life, for example if you stop working or eating properly because of it then its unhealthy. If its just how you spend your free time then its fine. You may be interested in turning it into a dungeons and dragons campaign or something.
I used to do that when I was young. Although, I would do it while I'm moving around, like shooting hoops or riding my scooter

You're developing schizoid personality disorder...
yeah i do that too, although i don't picture myself living in it, It's more like if I had a bunch of movies in my head. I keep repeating important scenes and fight choregraphies in my head, even though I know they would make for an awful movie.if i still had toys i'd probably play with them a lot. How fucking pathetic is that?

I doubt it.
I started collecting lego, never had any as a kid and I got kinda obsessed with it, spent about 2000 euros and stopped because I ran out of space to display them. They're all over the house.
Of course, when I was alone, I tried playing with them. Didn't work. I wasn't "feeling it" at all anymore. Kinda wish I could, even if that meant I was a real actual manchild. I mean, I have all this stuff. It's fun building and looking at it but it feels like a waste, toys not being played with. If I had all this lego as a kid I would be in heaven.
