<p>I agree with you totally. But the snag is that we don't live in the present moment because it is too painful for us or else we choose the MD because it is a more pleasant place to be.

I have a son, who I suspect also has MD, and he has been diagnosed with Tourette's. I, myself, suffer from depression, anxiety, and OCD. When I was young, I was diagnosed with a Neurological disorder, that's what they called it.. My son is similar to what I did in my youth, and they say it's Tourette's. I was never forthcoming with my MD, because I was scared and ashamed, my son, is the same way. I know the signs however from my own experience. I think autism may go hand in hand with MD.

<p>Yes, it seems to be very common. I mean people with other disorders also tend to have other issues, on top of the main one they have been diagnosed with. Why should we be any different?...Oh wait, because we are special ha ha j/k :) No, but I truly believe that we are on of a kind, it takes something special to literally be in reality, and the worlds we create at the same time.</p>

I have depression and multiple phobias.. I also have misophonia. Which is a fear of sound. I hate going to school in the rain because I feel like germs are everywhere. And I start to get a ridiculous itch. I cannot walk in public grass. I hate eating or drinking after others. Gum scares me. . And I can't sit in front of a class room. So much more..

<p>I believe I started to MD because of my feelings of unworthiness. I've always felt like I am never enough so that's why in my daydreams I tend to be a stronger and more heroic person. I have an eating disorder, anxiety, bipolar 2, and possible borderline personality disorder…yeah pretty messed up I know, but I think I've always used MD to cope with not having any control in my life. It's the only world I can control and it got worse when I was weight restored. No control over food…</p>
