Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Hi there. I’ve been saying this thing is like an addiction for a long time now am more convinced than ever that the more we look into it, the
more we’ll find connections to sleep problems and addiction. It feels
much like my waking dreams feel. I feel sick at night when I’m wiggling
& moving around, eyes open and still dreaming, and when I daydream it feels
very similar. It’s a horrible feeling that I would give anything to get
rid of………but my being awake while dreaming at night may be a very important
clue. I’ve been on a heavy daydreaming binge for awhile now & I think
the two problems are feeding off each other. My brain is very foggy &
being on the computer makes me feel sicker……….but I should figure this out
before I get better. There’s a connection here & figuring this out
could be a big breakthrough.
Before I forget, Dr____, the reason I was emailing you was actually to ask a question………..and then rant later if I felt like it.
I want to keep track of which medications have been tried & their effects
on people. The guy I talked to today was interested in this & willing
to share what he’s done. I forget what I’ve tried and how much.
Would it be a terrible inconvenience for you to send me my history? I
just need a list of what I’ve tried & how much. Email is fine, or you
can just make a photocopy & mail it. Whatever’s easiest. Would
you mind?
Anyway, there are answers in sleep and addiction for this, at least for those with severe cases. Those who have lesser forms may
have closer connections to depression and anxiety (not just as mere side
effects). My hypothesis is that people who develop this later in life
(teens or later, but more group 3…….I think……..the one that starts mid-life as
a result exhaustion) will be the likeliest candidates for anti-depressants
& the rest may as well not even bother. For the rest of us it’ll be
more like a waking sleep disorder. Make any sense? It’s so hard to
make sense when your brain feels like it’s been in a dream state walking dream
state for a few weeks. I’m working on it. Do me a favor &
bounce the ball back in my face.
Talk to you later,
Cordellia
