<p>Hello!</p>
<p>Sorry for the late response! My name is Brianna. I'm 18 years old and hope to start college soon. I've had MDD since I was about 7, though I only recently learned the actual term; I thought I was some kind of freak for a solid decade. My MDD previously occurred mainly at night before bed, but in recent years has started to consume daytime hours as well; I have paced the room until my feet hurt on more occasions than I can count.</p>

<p>We aren't alone in feeling like we don't fit in. Most everyone else feels the same way, more or less, but few talk about it because they don't realize so many others do also.</p>
<p>Recently I was in a women's transformation group -- for women whose life isn't what they wanted, were missing something, and so on. At each meeting, everyone took turns talking about whatever subject each meeting covered. We found out the things each thought we were only one to feel or experience turned out to be…</p>

<p>Recently I was in a women's transformation group -- for women whose life isn't what they wanted, were missing something, and so on. At each meeting, everyone took turns talking about whatever subject each meeting covered. We found out the things each thought we were only one to feel or experience turned out to be something a lot of others did too.</p>
<p>Everyone daydreams too -- probably more people daydream extensively than anyone realizes. They just aren't the type to go looking for explanations and don't think there's any reason to label it. It's natural to daydream. Otherwise where would writers and inventors find their ideas? Einstein daydreamed.</p>
<p>If daydreaming doesn't interfere with your life or cause you to suffer, then I wouldn't worry about it specifically. What matters is exploring how to turn your life into something that feels good on the inside. </p>
<p>Since nobody talks about daydreaming out in the world, though, it's great to have a forum to share things like this where we feel isolated.<br/> <br/> <cite>Aoeife Aisling said:</cite></p>

<p>My name is Erica and I have struggled with this since I was 5 and watched the Wizard of Oz. I LOVED the wicked witch and I had an imaginary friend named Mary who I modeled after the Wicked Witch. That's what started it. I have been daydreaming like this ever since. I am now trying to write my current daydream in the form of a novel. </p>

<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I'm Briona, a new member as of this month. I've been DDing since I was a little girl, I'm now in my 30s, and I've finally been able to face it with therapy. Previously I wouldn't even admit to myself that it was something I did, and if I ever got caught, I'd pretend I didn't know what they were talking about. I'm really proud of myself for finally being able to face my MDD, because now I finally feel like a real person with a real life. It's a one day at a time kind of thing, but…</p>
<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I'm Briona, a new member as of this month. I've been DDing since I was a little girl, I'm now in my 30s, and I've finally been able to face it with therapy. Previously I wouldn't even admit to myself that it was something I did, and if I ever got caught, I'd pretend I didn't know what they were talking about. I'm really proud of myself for finally being able to face my MDD, because now I finally feel like a real person with a real life. It's a one day at a time kind of thing, but I feel like I've made progress.</p>
<p>Outside of MDD, I like to write, but I don't do that anymore because it's too connected to the DD, I love music and movies, but have to be careful because they are all major triggers. Some times everything in life seem so dull in comparison to my DDs, but I remind myself how much DDing has already stolen from me, and it gives me strength, but like I said it's a one day at a time type of thing. I have a cat, and I want to get a Dog at some point., not sure what kind. I love sunshine and beaches, palm trees and sand, summer is my favorite season and I hate winter. Lucky for me, it's summer right now, and Im really enjoying it. </p> Hi, My name is Sam, I'm 21,…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2018-07-27:4661400:Comment:3103382018-07-27T00:26:42.715ZSamhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/SamaraGibbon
<p>Hi, <br></br> My name is Sam, I'm 21, birthday in May. Favourite colour is green and I hate pink too. There's a funny story behind that. when I was little I loved barbies, dressing them up and creating their own intricate lives with family feuds, friendships etc (beginning of MD?) so naturally, my favourite colour was pink until I got a bit older and loved Bratz dolls instead.

<p>Hi, <br/> My name is Sam, I'm 21, birthday in May. Favourite colour is green and I hate pink too. There's a funny story behind that. when I was little I loved barbies, dressing them up and creating their own intricate lives with family feuds, friendships etc (beginning of MD?) so naturally, my favourite colour was pink until I got a bit older and loved Bratz dolls instead. The Bratz colour was purple and their enemy the "mother of pink" and therefore I hated everything pink! I still do till this day. I like green because it reminds me of nature and I associate it with peace. <br/> My favourite animal is a wolf, that started as a result of one of my first teenage fandom obsessions- Twilight (I guess you know what team I was on then lol). I love dogs too, I used to have a few as pets.<br/>
I despise the sun as well- currently going through a heatwave in England at the moment so I'm secluded in my flat with the curtains down but the windows open. I love the sound of rain (thank god it rains a lot here!), I sometimes listen to the sound of rain or the sea to fall asleep. The white noise is perfect for daydreaming too.</p>
<p>I'm a bit of an insomniac. -It's 1:30 AM in the UK while I'm writing this lol!</p>
<p>My favourite hobby would be fanfiction and youtube(fuels my imagination too!)<br/> Would love to chat! :)</p>
