<p>I’m certain I fit the criteria for maladaptive daydreaming. My question is, when should I get help. My daydreaming interferes with my focus such that I can’t read much (something I used to enjoy), but I’m doing well in school, and am okay socially. I’m sixteen, and I live with my parents, and I’ve joked about my daydreaming with them( I have very physical ticks when I daydream), which was my way of opening up discussions, but they didn’t really respond, and I’ve been afraid to bring it up…</p>

I’m sixteen, and I live with my parents, and I’ve joked about my daydreaming with them( I have very physical ticks when I daydream), which was my way of opening up discussions, but they didn’t really respond, and I’ve been afraid to bring it up again. My daydreams are somewhat disturbing, and I can’t explain the depth of my fantasy world because of that. I know I want to get help eventually, but is now the right time? Do psychiatrists/psychologists generally understand maladaptive daydreaming? If you’ve explained maladaptive daydreaming to family members has support outweighed discomfort? Did they treat you differently, or become uncomfortable around you? How did you approach it in a way that showed the seriousness and severity without appearing crazy?

<p><span>Dear list members,</span></p>
<div>As an MD researcher I have joined the list to familiarize myself with the main issues members of this community are coping with.</div>
<div>Clearly, the biggest concern you have been debating here relates to coping with and controlling your excessive daydreaming. <br/><div>My research team and I are planning a future research project on the development of therapy for MD.</div>
<div>Eligible participants in this research project who are of consenting age will get access to a free English language online intervention program that we are currently developing.</div>
<div>Although this project probably will not be launched before next summer, we are already preparing a list of potential participants.</div>
<div>If you might be interested to take part in such a project - please send me (<a href="mailto:eli.somer@me.com">eli.somer@me.com</a>) your full name, age, sex, location and the best ways to contact you.</div>
<div>The number of openings will be limited so we will accept people on a first come, first served basis.</div>
<div>If you would like to be considered, I suggest you write to me today.</div>
<div>With best wishes,</div>

<p>I've gone to many therapists and had different experiences with each one. The first one was so nice to me, but I never got around to telling her about the daydreaming. At least not really. I mentioned it casually like I daydreamed like other people. </p>
<p>The second therapist I went to was a nice enough man but he was trying to be my friend and he made me uncomfortable. He never did anything wrong, it was just his presence or aura. I'm not sure. </p>

<p>A few days after I left him, I went to another therapist. She was a very mean woman. She would tell me that my daydreams weren't the real issue and that I was depressed and I just felt like she never listened to me. She would tell me that I was just being rude to my mom when I paced. I left after getting some blood work done and one session.</p>
<p>And the next therapist I went to was a licensed therapist but she was my life coach. That meant that she wasn't there to be my therapist per say but to sort of guide me through my college application process. (She also taught me ASL but that's another story.)</p>

<p>For those of you who have gone to therapy, did you tell your doctor about daydreaming or did you keep it a secret? Also, have any of you been on medication? Did it work fo ryou? I've been on adderall and it made me more productive during the day but I also became depressed and daydreamed more often. </p> Dreaming about therapy, anyone do it?tag:wildminds.ning.com,2013-02-05:4661400:Topic:1257032013-02-05T13:42:51.373Zgreyartisthttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/CarolMotsinger
<p>I have noticed that some of my DDs involve me going to see a therapist as part of the story line. I do or say something that gets me ordered to go to "medical" for an evaluation lol. But I think the discussion that follows seems to help me in my real life coping.</p>
<p>Anyone else dreaming up their own therapist? if so does it offer you insight to your issues or just rehash the same old things?</p>
