Hello everyone, I hope your day is great. :)

Anyways, like the title says, yes I am writing a novel. I've been brainstorming this novel since June and have now almost reached the end of brainstorming just in time for November which is novel month. Now there is a challenge in November to write a novel (rough draft) in a month. The main reason I want to share this on here is because I had set a goal for me while writing this. Which is I can plan and think out  this novel but…

A sense of relief surged through me to find that I'm not the only person in the world to daydream like I do. The recent months have been the worst. I've lost more time than ever. Constantly daydreaming, fantasizing and making time to daydream. I feel so crazy that I'm happier in my head with my crazy stories and scenarios.

Ok, so after having a bad experience with my first phychaitrist, I decided to try another docotr.  I was diagnosed with deppression and anxiety by my first Dr. and put on Prozac 20mg then ending in 40mg in which I just had horrible mood swings due to the medication. So, this other doctor at first thought I had ADHD innatentive, no suprise there since most dont now what MD is, he told me the daydreaming was part of it and the low attention also. (I tend to not pay attention alot but thats…

I am now 24. In some how I felt that I was different. But it never was a big problem in my day today life because I thought I have fulfilled my needs. And I thought it was some personality issue.  Because of the social issues which I am facing now in my day to day life, (in past few (7) years) I began to think.

Recently I am incapable of clear thinking, interpret of thoughts to words, social gatherings with no previous experiences - specially females, always I can't hold to a one…

Synopsis up to now: I have escaped the lullaby of my deepest daydreams. I kept struggling to find my way, and currently I'm quite vigilant in real life. However, I'm still chained to the dreamworld and the power it has over me.  To fully escape I need to recover certain pieces of myself, and expose them to the real world. Pieces I burried in the dreamworld, in order to keep them safe, when I were still young and fragile. Every piece coming into light is one chain less. Let's see how this…

I was wondering if I should try ritalin since I've heard people report that when they take it, they can concentrate on homework for hours on end. And these people don't even have ADHD or concentration problems. However, we have concentration problems, so I was thinking of trying to get a prescription. The feeling of always being able to concentrate is a great feeling lol. Anyone here ever try ritalin? If so, how was it? 

Hello everyone! Anyways, as you know I've been on a higher dosage for a bit now and have been doing better in most ways.

Well for some reason it has been kind if happening slowly but I'm losing my interest in everything..even daydreaming. It's rather confusing to me because I've been this way before but daydreaming wasn't something that counted. I do daydream some but it is only because of habit. I could care less about daydreaming even. It's like the dds I love and adore so much…

Wow, this is really tough to write about but I have to get it off my chest. The last time I was on here I wrote about how I was searching online for my "Dream Guy". I figured I'd never find anyone even remotely close to him. I kept up my search thinking I was doing it just for fun. I feel so guilty but I joined a dating website for my search and guess what? I found a guy that looks exactly like my DD guy, lives in the same state, has the same first name and even wears the same hat in one of…

I always knew that i daydreamed to much, but today I googled it for the first time. What a surprise to see that so many people have the same problem. And even the symptoms are the same. I want to start my blog with an introduction. I want to tell you my story in several parts

part 1 - who am I

part 2- daydreaming as a child

part 3 - what I daydream about now

part 4 - connection with other addictions

So here it goes…

i havent been on in a while, so im just going to blog about a thought i had in the car today. I was thinking about characters who i based their appearance off of. they look like the celebrity, but they have their own apperance in a way....you know?



like, theres twins at my school. theyre identical twins but they say "we dont think we look alike at all"



thats kind of what my characters are like. they look like the celebrity but i personally think they look different. its…

Hi I'm Angela,

I found this site over a month ago. I was researching a story and couldn't focus, so I googled daydreaming.  I read a lot of the postings and immediately recognized myself in a lot of the posts.  I was relunctant to post mainly because I'm a cautious person. I have had vivid daydreams since I was around 4 years old. I'll be sixty-two in a couple of weeks. I  must admit, the term " maladaptive daydreaming"  threw me a little bit.  I've always considered my daydreaming as…

My progress has been great so far. I've climbed out of the dreamcave's depths, using little tricks and willpower. I am way less absent-minded, and can observe reality almost as well as "normal people". I am so close to the exit...

And yet can't get out.

I just don't know how to live outside MD. It has been defining me for life. I have ways to deal with reality, but my system is lacking: and the reason is simple. I've been always living in Dreamland, and…

Got an email from a coworker, "I made brownies, come get one". So I politely go to her desk, put on my fake smile, offer my fake nice person pleasant chatter, offer my thank yous and compliments. Walk back to my desk screaming inside. I wish I could be that nice person, that happy person that everyone likes to be around. But I'm not. I don't even want to be here. To be around anyone. I would much prefer to be…

Having working for years with my DD and other psychological issues I come to the following conclusion about my DD: They are the place I hide the part of my personality I cannot use in real life.

I once learn that the strategy think what you want, say and do what other want from you was the best way to live in peace. It certainly was a clever choice once, when I was a child. But I just never learned to be myself, to say what I mean to know what I wanted.

I needed a life crisis…

Last week I've experimented with 1-2 tricks from the forums (both happen to be John K's). 

What helps me daydream less is to immediately look at some object that is in the room and imagine I have fired an arrow at it from my daydream in my head out my eyes into the object I am looking at in reality. It causes my attention to…

Alright, this might be a bit long so bear with me. I'm not usually a big fan of sharing private stuff online but I guess I'll make an exception for once and open up to you guys. I, like many of you here, suffer from MD, I until very recently thought this condition was something unique to me and was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is actually a name for it and a group of people who are the same as me in this regard.

I'm turning 20 soon and I'm European by birth and…
