Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

mehhhh. :/

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 sending me to an alternative highschool (which i definetly don't want/need to go to). MD is messing my life up so much. i used to make A's and B's but now I have mostly F's and my parents don't understand even after i told them about MD countless times. I've even tried to tell them to get me tested for ADD. They just think it's an excuse for me to keep slacking off and not doing my work. I don't do my work because it'll take me atleast 4+ hours to sit down, try to focus and do homework.. and that's 4+ hours I could spend entangled in my fantasy world.. right?

I'm just soo frustrated now, I don't care about anything anymore. :/ meh.. I don't know what I'm gonna do now.

The problem is that when I do this I have to make sure that there aren't any triggers around. Otherwise the daydream changes and I'll suddenly be stopping an alien invasion instead of doing my math.

Of course, this homework completion method doesn't work for certain classes at all such as History or English, because then the homework IS the trigger.

Like Sara, I say just force yourself to focus as much as you can. You're not alone- come here if you ever need any help. I'm sure I'll have better advice next time. :D

Comment by Sara Monster on February 17, 2011 at 5:58pm: Hey. Well, we're the same age and in the same grade. I get where your coming from. My grades aren't so hot either, but I know what could probably help you. The homework thing happens to me too. I could name 5000 other things I'd rather do with my time them do my homework. I suspect I have ADD cause I can't focus worth crap. And, like you my parents don't care to get me tested. (I also suspect I have OCD, and MPD, but that's beyond the point...) In situations like this all you can really do is endure it, and try the best you can!

I know it's easier said then done, I got kicked out of a high program and I get more low grades than ever... And if it;s the MD that's bugging you, than daydream once your done with your work, maybe find other times to do it...

I feel like this didn't help much, but I hope it did. Good luck!
