i'm a student, 14 yrs old and this is my first yr of highschool. i'm not adjusting well at all so more daydreams.. yay.

i just got my midterm grades back and they're soo horrible and i feel so bad about it. i don't want to get kicked out of highschool all because of MD but now my parents are thinking about…

I asked about this online, because I was scared I was like a freak that was going crazy. And then someone told me about this website.

I'm actually quite happy that I'm not the only person in the world with this, and that I'm not like, all weird and stuff because I do this.

I'm 16, and for as long as I could remember, I've been doing this. I always thought it was something I made up because I felt lonely. Which maybe it is?

Sometimes I imagine what it…

I've started a new semester at college and I've been insanely stressed. I have more responsibilities now-I'm an editor at the newspaper and I'm involved in other clubs, plus I'm getting into the 300 level classes. I love everything I'm doing, it's just very stressful. I also have a job now. I work as a hostess at a restaurant and it's really hard, but it's bringing me out of my shell and forcing me to talk to people. It's so busy there, I barely have any time to daydream, though I do it a…

Hello,

I'm Ana, a sixteen year-old, and before today I firmly believed I had a weird variation of ADD, and was somewhat gifted with an overly vivid imagination. However, after googling my symptoms (something I, to some extent, regret) I found out I might have MD. Actually, I'm pretty certain of it . . .

Contrary to some people I can say I've had this "issue" for as long as I can remember. Since a toddler, I remember being able to go into my imaginary world - where I…

ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

phew, now that thats out... I AM SO FRUSTRATED! Sigh... im going through a depressing period in my life right now, just several things going on that are out of my control and now when i need my daydreaming the most to help me cope with all this madness, i cant think of ANYTHING to daydream about! this has never happened before and it angers me to no end! no matter how…

I have only in the past few years come to realise that my MD has been a real issue in my life, my career path, my relationships, my health and my overall sense of satisfaction with my life. And when I realised it it took me a lot longer to Accept. Talking about it is very strange for me. I am not naturally an open person about things that go on inside my head. Often in my life I have thought about going to a therapist, or someone that can give me some perspective and advice about my life.…

Hi, I'm the webmaster at http://www.daydreamingdisorder.webs.com/ 

Since I've had so many people write me, asking for advice, I (finally) added a page on my site listing all the suggestions that myself and other people with this problem have come up with. 

If anyone would like to take a look and give me some feedback on it, this would be very welcome.

So from what I've read I have all the symptoms of maladaptive daydreaming. I daydream excessively, but I always thought it was normal. I'd rather think than pay attention to certain things, though sometime it comes without warning and I find myself spacing out in important conversations. My daydreams hardly ever include me, unless I'm thinking about my life. When I fantasize I'm not in it, cause I don't really like me that much, and would rather be someone else. But this never seemed like a…

Hi! After finding this site last night, I decided to start blogging here as well. I imagine it could be quite therapeutic and perhaps we can all share our experiences here. I will begin my blog with a little introduction.

My name's Andrew. I'm 18 years old and I live in a small town in Kentucky. I'm a terribly imaginative and eccentric guy. I put a lot of my time and effort on my education and I'll be going to college in Fall of 2011.

I was born with an author's heart and…

Out on a drive the other day my eight year old daughter starting telling me about this world that she made up in her head. It included characters, storylines and lots of bright, vibrant details. She said she goes there every morning and every night. Naturally my heart sank and it terrified me. I didn't make it into a big detail, but it was something I was completely unprepared for. I am hoping that it's "normal" daydreaming for a kid, and not my kind that will follow her throughout her life,…

So, i was curious (more like dying to know) what caused my MD. and i was looking back at things that i wrote when i was 9 to 12 and im still not done! at first from what i read just blown away by the real cause of my MD, then i was immensely happy remembering all the good times i had when my MD was just a miniscule pleasure i did in life... then i got sooo mad.... i was tearing up papers and i was just so pissed of at how much YEARS i have wasted in MD.. but im not going to get into that…

Hi,

     I am 22 and I am a student. I have been suffering from this problem for years and I have tried several things to get rid of this. I had been taking prescription drugs for 3 years, but it didn't help much. I was not aware of the problem back then. I thought I had ADD/ADHD back then. The pyschiatrist told me that I had OCD. Then, I was taking Fluvoxamine,Lonazep, etc. for 3 years.  Only now, I came across this website and this condition online. I hope they do find a sloution…

I love the name of this site, it is so apt! 

A little intro about me, I am 32, from New Zealand, I have a child, I'm single, I work with teenagers who have intellectual disabilities, and I have a very wild mind.…

i was thinking about what my mom said to me yesterday morning and was just wondering if anybody else thought the same thing or just any thoughts in general about it...so here it goes

my grades have been dropping lately because of my (you guessed it) MD... im not proud of it. but anyways my mom was giving me my daily dosing of threats with the cliche "if you dont pull your grades up then there will be serioius consequences" rant. and she was going on and on about everything she could…

I joined this network quite some time ago, but for some odd reason never kept up with it, but, actually, I need to.

See, I've had this MD problem for a long time, I think since I was 4? Something like that.

I never realized that it was a-what? disorder?- in its own right. You see, I was told that it was a symptom of my depression....or something like that.

No one was even aware that I had this problem until I was in therapy as a teen-then I was told…

this isn't actually from a daydream, it's from a nightmare that I woke up sweating from in the middle of the night. it's about a supernatural disease that drives it's host homicidal.
