Ever thought of the consequences or effects MDD has on your life. It can really effect your life in a major way you can't imagine. Preventing MDD at it starts should be one of the steps anyone should take as he/she comes to know about it. Many people don't even know about this disorder and there aren't many preventing measures for it. MDD really changes your life. I am also suffering from MDD and I didn't knew about it for the first year. It really impacted my life. It created a lot of feelings… Continue

So I feel like I need to just rant a bit tonight.......

For months now, I've been feeling like I can't quite get a handle on my actual real life, and I can't figure out why. For once, it's not because of DD.

I haven't actually been able to really immerse myself in DD for.... months and months really. I made myself quit because it was a bad time in my life and I needed some space to sort things out. Some parts of my life have become unexpectedly great --…

(I'm making this post not only for you guys, but hopefully anyone researching what he has)

Most of us have either seen or heard of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". All of us here can guess what he has, MDD. Yes, I know, it's obvious. His sudden "zoning out" and having an explorer version of himself (his ideal self, what he wants to be) enter, he mouths the dialogue of his character. The daydreams are very vivid. He spends his free time daydreaming about traveling the world,…

okay, so I don't know how much you guys know about fandom/fanfiction terms, but I'll stick definitions in at the end. And I'll also be using them a lot, sorry.

Anyway, I realised something- My story in my head is like a book series or whatever, but most people have said that. But sometimes I have a thing where, usually when I'm reading/very recently read a book, I'll sort of integrate myself into that book in my DD, not permanently,  but just do some scenes for a while and that's…

In memory of those who lost their lives (12 died) and the 59 injured at the Colorado movie theater and their families and loves ones, I encourage fellow malaptive daydreamers to consider abstaining from maladaptive day dreaming this Sunday. 

I feel powerless as I hear about this tragedy in the news.  It is a reminder to all of us that one minute you can be alive and another minute you are dead.  Life is such a gift and so precious.  Those who lost their lives in this tragedy will not…

For the sake of privacy names have been changed.

Also, there is some foul language in this blog, so I apologize in advance.

And I want to apologize for giving you the short version of my dream, it was just too much for me to write down. (-___-) Sorry. But I do hope you …

I'm terribly excited to start college in August but in the past my day-dreaming has made school challenging. Does anyone have advise about dealing with MDD in such a high stress environment? I'm concerned that I won't be able to finish work or pay attention to lectures if I have an episode. Also, when I am in the midst of an episode I often pace around my room listening to music, how can I possibly do that in a dorm with a roommate? I know that some of you have been in this situation before and… Continue

 

I read on this page, that one of the symptoms of day-dreaming is creating an idealized version of yourself. I thought, it didn't apply to me as I don't have an idealized version of myself. I don't have ANY version of myself. In my dreams I don't exist. There are many details, visualizations, but there is no body. Just the voice. And that's weird as thinking in terms of bodies is a natural thing. Even in religion, Jesus Christ had the body, so it was much easier to imagine him (and…

Not really sure how to find my way round this website right now, but i'll give it a go!

For about 3 years maybe more now i've made up this fantasy world in my head. At first i used to role-play on the internet on such websites as habbo.com, which was just some harmless fun, untill the people i used to roleplay with went away, i decided to make my own role-play, in my head. It started off being about twice a week i'd think about it, but now its every day! I…
