Need Help With Understanding My Obsession Of Playing With Drawings

Hi, I m beginning to worry! I m 17 and I draw family s and imagine them as real life people, I began doing this when I had finished playing with Barbie dolls, which was round the age of 13. I m beginning to think it isn t normal and is really embarrassing. If I ve been away a long time from home I can t wait to get home to play with them, what else would I call it? I started to think is it because I was bullied at the age of 5, as I imagined the walls were talking to me. I also have a bad temper but I would take it out on stupid things like talking to my wardrobe or door or anything really. I can t understand or come to a conclusion why I do this! I recently have began to forgotten a lot of things this past while, simple things... Even my friends notice it...
