Things that lesson Day Dream intensisties

[Sky with Diamonds]

I dont know how many MDDers experience this, but i have different levels of intensity that my DDs go to. I basically dd 24/7, but the level of it varies throughout the day. It is at its highest level, when i am alone, and usually walking aroung this music playing.

 

I recently found out that when i DD, if i am tapping my leg, it is distracting, and i am unable to fully go where my mind wants to take me. So lately, when i get the urge to DD, i start tapping my leg. When i am in public, i understand that looks  very bizarre and embaressing, but so is mumbling to mylself and making odd facial expressions. Anyways, i now always keep a hair band around my wrist, and i pull it when i start DDing in front of people. I assume this just makes me look figgity instead of crazy.

 

 

anyways...does anyone else have activities they practice to distrct themselves from DDing?

I saw a councilour to talk about my problems and I sgtarted a new job and my Mding dramaticly stopped.  Then I had a very stressful time at work and found myself MDing on my way home and a neighbour told me, "You look F*****g mad like that."  So I knew that I must have been smiling to myself.  Then it calmed down a bit and I had another bad weekend and well, I did the ful MD thing with the laughing and talking and so now, I have begun thinking of ways to get rid of it pernamently.

 

Reading, playing instruments and writing usually stops it but this time I was just too stressed to control it.  So I HAVE to get rid of it.

I try to listen to the radio which helps t avoid looking around and the adverts in between songs tend to jerk me out of my dd. I also think it maybe because if I am dding with earphones I am less likely to notice people looking at me.
