So when I daydream nothing bad ever happens to me. I am always the " bad guy" doing bad things to other people. Often it is random people I don't even know. It is weird but, I find I can only…Continue

Have you ever been traumatized by your own imagination?I've tried to focus my daydreams into positive stories. But, in truth that seems impossible. Even the ones that start out light turn dark. …Continue

it took forever about a year and a half to divorce that bastard. I still can't get away from the daydreams. it really didn't help how little the judge cared about anything. I'm just a woman scorned so bruises and damages he did meant nothing. I'd file for bankruptcy but I can't afford the filing fees. If I wasn't in such a bad money situation I think I could move on better but every bill is a reminder. I owe over 4 grand to a lawyer, I've already paid him 3 grand I have no more money and can only hope he'll be happy being paid 10$ a month. so I'm angry and I want to hurt him and sometimes I yell at the judge my lawyer did not stand up for me.
when I was younger I always thought about the worst things I guess I thought if I thought of it before it happened then it wouldn't so I would daydream of horrid things happening to me or family it could be anything from car accidents to lies abuse kidnapping.....but daydreaming doesn't always stop bad things from happening
Poopsie Holbrook: I feel for you and I'm sorry he did that to you. You need to really work on clensing all that pent up anger and hurt out of your soul, about him and what he did to you. I know you feel more powerful when you daydream you are putting him in his place. Normally I wouldn't advise you to take it easy as they can be therapudic, but I have two kids and have of course gone through two pregnancies. That is not the best time to be having all that negative emotion swirling in you.
My second preg. was a misserable time in my marriage and my son was born with a lot of attitude and extra need to be nurtured, oh God, it was a lot of work!!! I think my constant daily crying and pain affected him while he was developing and i still have to handle his sensitivity to pain,fear, ceratin tones of voice, and he's 5 now. So i REALLY reccomend you try to purge those dark feelings while your preg or shove them to the back of your mind to be dealt with later and try to give yourself some new uplifting DDs. Everytime it tries to come up. Quash it down with a verbal cue; like "No, you wont come into the peaceful circle of my baby." etc.... your baby's health is utmost important and wasting your time and energy on that worthless cheating man isn't worth it.
I hope you can find peace. Msg me anytime you need :)
I recently had a divorce, my husband cheated on me a lot. so now my daydreams are violent and demeaning him. at this point its very not healthy and now I'm pregnant with a new guy. He works nights me days so I'm alone and I'm worried the heart rate thing after those lost moments are not good for the baby.
I realized one day that I was producing invasive emotions with this kind of daydreaming. I started to tell myself to find something else to daydream about and leave off the one that was raising such strong feelings in me. A long time ago, an elderly man told me that daydreams are fine so long as they don't make me cry. I've gotten better at not getting so deep into negative daydreams but there are times that they still happen. I don't get mad at myself when it happens. Rather I take note of how I've been feeling or the events in my life in the week leading to the daydream. This gives me clues on how to deal with specific triggers.
Yes! In one daydream I have, my main character has been betrayed by his only friend, is forced into a prostitution ring, and is sexually abused and raped on a daily basis. He's also a prisoner trapped in a stranger's house. In another one of my dreams, my main character has been rejected by her friends, lost her husband from dark secrets coming to life, and is an outcast to society. Even though my daydreams are negative, however, there is always a semi happy ending where the main character is saved and loved by those closest to them.
