Is it healthy to fantasize about a better life?

Most of the time it just makes me feel worse, because of how unattainable my dreams seem, and I end up just spiraling further. But on the other hand, when I'm at my lowest I can't even imagine being okay, which doesn't seem any better.

Do you often think about how you wish your life was different? Does it motivate you, or do you feel it holds you back?

Probably both, as all things are. I'm a daydreamer. When I'm depressed I don't have happy daydreams anymore. So having that for myself felt as good or low key better than eating showing or exercising. I need to get back to doing those regularly again but when I'm stuck in bed that was what slowly got me out a little of rock bottom these last few days.
