So turn it into something else.

[nyxelestia]

Maybe a reverse escape - a strange way of reminding yourself where you came from so you know how to keep what you have and where you are going.

Or maybe turn it into self-expression - instead of just trying to write to 'get away' from your life, use writing fanfiction as a way to get more involved with your life, express what elements of your life you like now, etc.

If all else fails, try a new genre, or a variation of how you use it. I used to and still do write angst, BDSM, and fluff. But now instead of angst stemming from tragic issues, I lean towards angst relating to guilt and self-worth. Instead of lots of steamy BDSM porn, I start leaning towards the powerplay. And the fluff tends to take on more H/C undertones than it used to. Additionally, I also write a lot more friendship/adventure-drama fic, something I didn't always do, and that's definitely related to a drastic shift in my life (not to mention finally accepting that friendships will always matter more to me than romance and that's okay).

So you'll definitely have to approach writing very differently, but certainly using it as an escape isn't the only way, and hell using it as a safe/friendly escape from a crappy life isn't even the only way to use it as a get-away. Just keep trying some new things. :)
