Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Just Getting By.....

Thought this song might help some of you. It's so relatable to MD. Here are the lyrics~

Just Getting By- Tenth Avenue North

Oh, when we were born
When we first arrived
We took it all in
Through innocent eyes

But we got jaded, 'cause the beauty faded
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky
But we keep coming up dry

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
Am I just getting by?

Life can take a toll
Everyday demands

So much energy so many mundane plans

So we go digital, purely physical
Hey, it's just medicinal
We need to ease our minds

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
Am I just getting by?

I want to be all here now
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
Staying present even in the fear now
Life with open eyes
Please don't pass me by

Life don't pass me by

Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye...

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
Am I just getting by?
