Realizing that you have MDD

[Clara]

Hi! A couple months ago I realized that I have MDD. I have been daydreaming for about 3 years. I am finally coming back into reality after "being away" for so long. Is it normal to feel disoriented and confused after daydreaming for that much time? it's a very weird feeling that I can't describe very well. It's like finally accepting that my daydreams aren't my actual life, and now being back in reality is almost confusing/feels weird. I am seeing a therapist and I am going to tell her all of this at our next meeting. Does anyone have advice for how to handle the feeling of shock when you finally return to reality? thanks for the help.
