Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
MD and depression
Does anyone on here suffer with depression and MD? I'm not even sure if I do suffer from MD but i do daydream a lot! Sometimes when I daydream a negative scenario will encourage another and another until I feel awful, it spirals out of control and can't seem to snap myself put of it. I have tried Cognitive behavioral therapy but the benefits didn't last. I'd love to be able to have more control over this, it is stopping me from being productive. Anyone experiencing a similar thing? Thanks

Hello, I think I know exactly what your talking about. I use to do something at least similar to that and it just made me more depressed. I have gotten treatment for depression and so that no longer happens. So now I only daydream, which I dont think is always a bad thing. Only when the daydreaming sort of takes on as a priority in life. Any who I am on a medication that I have read is used for ADD as well as depression. I hope this helps!
