Does mood affect your ability to daydream?

My mood doesn't really affect how much I daydream so much as what kind of daydreaming I do. When I'm happy or content, my daydreams are more realistic, usually centering on my perfect daydream self doing amazing but realistic things. When I'm depressed, I sink deep into elaborate fantasy worlds with their own rules of logic. I fantasize all the time, no matter what my mood, probably because my mind needs a way of getting rid of all the extra energy it has (my mind is always racing. Daydreaming…

When I'm depressed, I sink deep into elaborate fantasy worlds with their own rules of logic. I fantasize all the time, no matter what my mood, probably because my mind needs a way of getting rid of all the extra energy it has (my mind is always racing. Daydreaming for an hour or two usually helps calm it down for a while). But I guess what kind of daydreams I have depends on what I need at the time, which in turn depends on my mood.

I am actually the opposite. When I get happy, I still do fantasize, but not as much as when I'm sad. When I feel depress, lonely, anxiety and stress I get an extreme tendency to go into fantasizing mode where all problems go away and I am happy. By constantly fantasizing and not doing productive work, of course, makes my initial situation even worse - which forces me to fantasize even more. It's a vicious cycle for me. That is why my life has been such a failure so far. I fantasize because I…
I am actually the opposite. When I get happy, I still do fantasize, but not as much as when I'm sad. When I feel depress, lonely, anxiety and stress I get an extreme tendency to go into fantasizing mode where all problems go away and I am happy. By constantly fantasizing and not doing productive work, of course, makes my initial situation even worse - which forces me to fantasize even more. It's a vicious cycle for me. That is why my life has been such a failure so far. I fantasize because I have problems and I can't fix my problems because I can't stop fantasizing. I'm now borderline obese, borderline diabetic, have several other health problems and addictions. Of course, I can't begin to correct those problems because my fantasizing habit is not letting me. I am also unemployed and poor. I have no friends and I still live with my parents (I'm turning 23 this year). My parents think I am useless and pathetic for sitting in my room all day and not going out to get a job - I think the same way too. Sometimes I contemplate whether or not I should just end my life. yeah im exactly the same i ca…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2010-02-25:4661400:Comment:2642010-02-25T12:29:52.000Zskyhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/sky

Hey Gina M!<br />
My mood definitely effects my ability to daydream. However, I am unsure of when I am able to do it and when I'm not. Sometimes I look forward to my chance to daydream for days. My boyfriend goes out every Tuesday and a couple of days before I get really excited because I know I'll be able to be alone and daydream as much as I want. But sometimes, I just can't. I don't know why. Sometimes it just doesn't feel right. For example, it's Tuesday and I had a hard time getting into my…
Hey Gina M!<br />
My mood definitely effects my ability to daydream. However, I am unsure of when I am able to do it and when I'm not. Sometimes I look forward to my chance to daydream for days. My boyfriend goes out every Tuesday and a couple of days before I get really excited because I know I'll be able to be alone and daydream as much as I want. But sometimes, I just can't. I don't know why. Sometimes it just doesn't feel right. For example, it's Tuesday and I had a hard time getting into my fantasizing. I'm looking at the clock and getting anxious because I know he'll be home soon and I haven't fantasized much at all tonight. I missed my opportunity to do it. I guess I wasn't in the mood. I tried and did it a little but couldn't fully get into it. Yet other days, I can't stop. Sometimes I can't sleep because of it or as soon as I wake up I start fantasizing and at work, all I want is to get through the day so I can do it. Anybody else experience this inconsistency with fantasizing? Seriously, I can't express enough how happy I am that I found this website. I can't believe I can just openly talk about this!
