Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Mils has not received any gifts yet
Hi!!! I'm mils :)
I've had MD since I was 7, and I thought I was crazy and I felt alone.
I only learnt that it had a name a couple years ago. since then, I was able to find more people that have it.
Then I found this website, and I'm so happy there's a community out there with other people who struggle with it!! :)
I hope to talk to you all, and that we can all work on our MD and support each other through it <3

I just had my longest streak of not doing it - 3 days!
I've managed to not let my usual triggers get to me, by either avoiding them or by throwing myself into another thing altogether to distract me.

A life filled with adventure and danger, but I don't want that, not right now and not as I spend the rest of my life.
I still want to MD now, but I do it much…

I'm reading through blogs and realising there are so many ways people daydream. Like, do you guys only have one way of daydreaming, do you have multiple, do you need music or need to be in a certain space, I'm genuinely interested!! :)
Also how else does it affect you? I mumble to myself when I walk, kind of humming the conversation in my mind. If that makes sense :)
Also, does anyone else daydream with spinning?
I know I seem really excited today haha, I'm just happy…

When I was 7, my parents divorced. While I don't remember if it affected me or not, I do remember developing MD in that same year. It helped me a lot to distract from everything, and I built up this persona in my mind where I had freedom and power.
As I grew older, my MDs made me feel like I was invincible. This took a hit to my social skills and awareness, and led me to get bullied once I entered high school. I thought that if I became my persona in my daydreams, the everyone would…
