<p>I feel I live in two words, the real world which I hate, and my dream world, which I control and sometimes it feels so real, so you are not alone, and I only just discovered this is a condition and others also daydream</p>

Hi. I can relate. I have periods of YouTube obsessions, then I act out potential videos I want to make but never do. Cordellia's advice is really great! I can't offer more than that, but I did want to ask if you've tried starting a youtube channel ?

<p>All of what you're describing sounds typical of someone with MD. First, take a breath, and try to relax. This is all normal. Lots of people are going through what you are. MD may make some things more difficult, but what is life without challenges? You can still get your degree if you want to. It took me two tries, but I finally graduated.

<p>All of what you're describing sounds typical of someone with MD. First, take a breath, and try to relax. This is all normal. Lots of people are going through what you are. MD may make some things more difficult, but what is life without challenges? You can still get your degree if you want to. It took me two tries, but I finally graduated. It just meant that everything took me a lot longer than it would take someone else. The first thing you have to do is to stop judging yourself and feeling guilty. That will never help; it will only make it worse. Accept that you may have a hard time being present. Accept that it will probably take you longer to study and get things done. If you stop judging yourself and keep trying, you can get through it. I studied English and had a lot of papers to write, which was really hard because it was so hard to focus. I got through it. I would sit down, write, try to focus, want to daydream, get up, walk around, daydream, come back, and so on until I got it done. I explained my problems honestly to my professors and asked them for help, and it was fine. I graduated in 2012. I know it will be hard, but you can do it. We're here to support you. </p>
