I try to hide my MD as much as possible. I feel very embarrassed of people seeing me when I'm daydreaming because I will make facial expressions and talk to myself. Sometimes people catch me doing it…Continue

"Weel, I kind know how it feels since I also have the tendency to be in my own world and not relate with anyone, it happens when I'm in huge company; when I'm alone btw and friends and other people that I know approach me I always keep…"
"Yeah, I should be meeting people who I can relate to very well. I haven't got around to this, because I had my nose in applications, trying to find employment, it's a full-time job to get noticed by anyone. I do hang out with my sister and…"

Hiding my MD

Catastrophic Daydreams
I've had MD for more than 20 years. For most of my life, my daydreams have been pleasant and enjoyable, but in the last few years, things have changed drastically.

Any time I watch a new show or see something on social media, my brain will twist it into something awful. Someone is abusing me, embarrassing me, torturing me, abandoning me, etc. It's always something…See More

Good day,
I picked interest in you after going through your short profile and demanding it is necessary for me to write to you immediately. I have something very important to discuss with you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (gerabs011@gmail.com) for full details
Best regards,
Callan Gershom.
