<p>I think I would have had a nervous breakdown if I didn't have MD. So in that way, no i don't regret it. It does interfere with my life at time...it can be sooo frustrating. I've gotten much better as I've gotten older. But it's a part of my life's journey and I can accept that now. No longer embarrassed.</p>

I guess I was a bit different to you. I didn’t start MD until I was about 15 and completely alone and isolated from those around me.

And it was one of the few places I actually enjoyed spending time.<br />

So despite the effects on my life, which I still deal with to this day, I do not regret starting MD because without it I don’t know if I would still be alive today. I also still welcome the safety and peace of my daydreams and so even though it takes us so much of my life, I have learned to accept MD as a part of me and a part of who I am because it has (for me at least) many benefits as well as downsides.
