OP, a parasocial relationship isn't necessarily a bad thing. A parasocial relationship can be the source of a lot of good feelings, and have a measurable positive effect on someone's life. Having a fantasy of meeting and getting along with the celebrity in question isn't necessarily unhealthy, either, when the fantasy comes with the understanding that it isn't an expectation or reflective of reality. Daydreams are nice, ok, they're pleasant and fun.

A parasocial relationship also isn't necessarily a maladaptive coping mechanism to stressors in one's own life; particularly in the short term, it can help one handle the difficult emotions that come with situational stress. It can also be a source of strength when it comes to managing chronic issues. It shouldn't be the ONLY coping mechanism, okay, because life problems don't solve themselves, but it can be helpful as one of several tools.

So with that having been said, OP, I hope you're taking steps to make things better for yourself - and I can't say what the right moves would be, because you haven't told us what you're having trouble with - but while you're working on that, it's good to have something positive to focus on. Good luck.
