i have been busy, so not as much time to daydream. ... i am maybe a little more intentional this week about not dreaming, so that's good.  i really need to focus when i drive or doing things where i could hurt myself or others.  im usually pretty good about this, but could always improve.  ... hope everyone here on this site is doing ok.

I have found working the Emotions Anonymous program to be very helpful, because although I have yet to meet another maladaptive daydreamer in EA, maladaptive daydreaming is basically an emotional problem, caused by an inability to feel our emotions in the real world. This is the EA website in case anyone is interested: https://emotionsanonymous.org/.

I'm so glad this is here and there are people interested. I think we could create a weekly zoom meeting with Wild Mind Accounts who are interested. I would be interested in that. I've been in a few 12 step programs, and I think it's very helpful for sharing - especially if its a very structured meeting and very open and inclusive to non-religious, 12-step skeptics, etc. If anyone is interested in organizing this with me I'd be happy to start it. I literally talked to my therapist about this last semester and was trying to apply the steps to my MD...didn't work. You really need a group. Which I agree with one commentator who pointed out that the real step work comes with working with a sponsor, so that will be a challenge. It would still be an interesting experiment to just try it. I'm someone who is always open to new strategies and potential solutions. Message me or let me know if you'd be interested in creating a weekly zoom with a structured 12 step style meeting.
