<p>That sounds really hard. We've tried to stop daydreaming many times in the past without success. Then we gave up trying to stop and decided to just learn how to do it better. So that's what we did, and now we feel really happy with things. I don't know if you have heard of tulpamancy - it's something we just learned about! But it sounds A LOT like "maladaptive" daydreaming that's done with quite a lot of intention and care. Anyway, just something to think about. This is an interesting…</p>

But it sounds A LOT like "maladaptive" daydreaming that's done with quite a lot of intention and care. Anyway, just something to think about. This is an interesting article I just read about it: <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/culture-mind-and-brain/201604/daring-hear-voices" target="_blank">https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/culture-mind-and-brain/201604/daring-hear-voices</a></p>
<p>I'm also attaching a short paper about tulpancy and mental health. I wonder if the main difference between tulpancy and maladaptive daydreaming is the presence and intensity of SHAME. </p>

<p>It sounds like daydreaming has a very important role in your life. Have you ever considered there might be ways to lean in to your daydreaming for healing? </p> I want to get rid of it, but …tag:wildminds.ning.com,2020-12-20:4661400:Comment:3853512020-12-20T15:19:15.984Zsamartha rajhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/samartharaj

For meditation, you do get a subtle relief from MD, but it's only temporary. Also meditation is useless if you do it on a whim, and not out of routine. Because of my haphazard attempts at meditation, it's only a matter of time before my mind goes back to square one, because it's hard to be consistent with it. As for supplements, I have tried 20+ different varieties of them, but to no avail -- EXCEPT for N-Acetylcysteine (NAC). It only gave me a temporary relief, however. I began to take notice of its effects when my dermatillomania ceased. After that, I slowly felt liquid-like movements in my head, and the next day when I woke up, my head was completely clear, and it wasn't racing with thoughts it normally is. But its effects only lasted for about a week and a half before my MD came back with a vengeance. Interestingly, I'm not the only one who faced this:</p>
