So I joined this network

[Molly]

I've been maladaptive daydreaming for 7 years or so now, and I just recently discovered the term for it, and that there are others like me out there. I've never discussed my daydreams, alter persona, or obsession with certain celebrities before, so it's scary and somewhat embarrassing for me to be open about this. I've always wanted to tell somebody, anybody about my daydreams but i've always been afraid of being judged or told that I need professional help, because I know that this isn't healthy and I want to move past it... But it seems that every time I get out of the habit, I find a new muse, trigger, or I think of a new plot twist for my DDs. Does anyone else feel this way?

Hi and welcome to Wild Minds! I'm also embarrassed to discuss about my fantasies with people in real life, so I vent online.

Thank you for the support! If you ever need to talk about your DDs, feel free to talk to me!

I've always felt extremely embarrassed to discuss this subject with anyone. I haven't told anyone except the people on this network. I hate being judged and I knew that I would be by family and friends if I told them about my constant daydreaming. They wouldn't understand the feelings I get during daydreaming so I always found it pointless to talk to them about it.
