<p>Met too. My MDD is now in short bursts. Although, my mind meditates for hours when I'm off work. I just don't live in alternate worlds anymore.</p>

<p>I am 62 and I have been doing it since before I was in kindergarten. I still do it although these days it happens in short bursts rather than the hours at a time it used to be.</p>

<p>Ever since I stopped daydreaming, the way my past worked out now makes so much sense. It's finally entering my head why everyone behaved how they did around me. When you live in your head, you don't care. Of course, I was growing and developing, so having been doing MDD, it was hard to make the right judgments. You tend to live in your own world during adolescence. That is before you finally get real world experience. When you become an adult, people suddenly act up on your secret…</p>

<p>Ever since I stopped daydreaming, the way my past worked out now makes so much sense. It's finally entering my head why everyone behaved how they did around me. When you live in your head, you don't care. Of course, I was growing and developing, so having been doing MDD, it was hard to make the right judgments. You tend to live in your own world during adolescence. That is before you finally get real world experience. When you become an adult, people suddenly act up on your secret habits, as you have to communicate very well and be with each other more than ever. I also expected so much for my future. I wanted anything to get married and start raising kids, as early as my twenties, but that never happened. MDD took full wind of my attention on the external world around me. I've met many people who apparently found me rather deaf, if my extreme silence didn't bother them. Unfortunately, you can dream about whatever you want, but you can't put in black and white. It will just lead to utter dissappointment.</p> Since three or as long as I c…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2019-07-18:4661400:Comment:3417712019-07-18T14:13:01.166ZGeobukseonhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/AlexBelanger

<p>I'm also 33 and have always had MD. I'm trying to find ways to stop it but I haven't had much success. I'm a member of a few MD forums and chat rooms, Reddit pages and the discord but I've not found anyone who has managed to totally stop. There have been a lot of suggestions but I haven't found one that truly helps me.</p>

<p>That's OK, I was an excessive daydreamer up until I approached my 30's. Reason I quit was due to life. I have to find ways to be self-supportive and out of my parent's hair.</p>

<p>I actually am making progress. I'm more awake and alive than before. I was just discussing what happened to me years ago. It took me a lot of recuperation afterwards. I'm feeling better just now.</p>
