Just turned 28 and still no Hogwarts letter
I'm 28 F, grown as heck and yet I broke down sobbing yesterday because of the reality that I'll never wake up and be an immortal magical being who spends their life questing and adventuring and saving the world. Like even if your only goal in life is to become rich, as long as you're still alive that's a possibility..but my dreams can never come true. I'm still a mortal human working 40 hrs a week to barely survive. Does anyone else feel like reading too much fantasy has been detrimental to their mental health like this? I'm genuinely so heart broken that I'll never get to go on an adventure in middle earth.
It's another episode of "Help! I never grew up!" where OP goes to the hugbox that probably helped her into this mess
Most of the responses are well-intentioned (and mostly r-slurred) advice about how to step away from the cliff of psychosis, but these brave few tell OP to do a cannon ball into insanity

Listen, you cannot possibly think that your existence ends here. Your consciousness will always live on as non-existence is not possible. We all will get reincarnated. | (I lost the link for this one)
(The assumptions and extrapolations being that OP should go outside)
You go, King! Fight the power! 
Let them know we won't take it lying down when they tell us... Uh, wait, hang on a second... 
When they tell us "poor people have any agency at all in their lives"!
Even the average /r/fantasy user found this to be too loserish and offered a rebuttal
These guys take the topic as seriously as it deserves

Yeah I had to stop watching that Pixar movie cars for the same type thing. I was absolutely heart broken that I would never be a car. I mean people who dream of being a dr have a chance but me?! No!!! I'll never be a car!!! And it's not fair!!!!! 38m
Have you considered becoming a vagrant?
You'd get to go on epic adventures to acquire loot (copper piping) while avoiding the minions of the Dark Lord (the police).
This is good advice. She might disavow reading entirely after one of those
Your in good company. The world is full of delusional people who are looking forward to a future existence in a magical wonderland... It's called religion.
I remember telling a CBT therapist I had that there were deep issues in my life that couldn't be solved. He asked me, in a can-do way, what kind of issues. I said, 'Well, for example, the fact there are no dragons.'
He was lost for a reply haha.
And then he used my payment for that session to wipe his tears after being verbally destroyed

Well she's a basic b-word, so no problems there with something like pottery. But she needs hobbies grounded in reality, so most of them sound like an improvement. Pottery classes involve actual people, for example.

Doing the real world nature adventures they suggest is the best cure for city person ennui.
