• Non-MD post: On fake friends, nice people, and being an insufferable stickler

    I'm currently distancing friends who I reunited with last winter after more than three years of my absence. I was working abroad while they stayed home and worked in one company this whole time.

  • When I found out about my MD

    Hi, I found out I have MD last year. I have been daydreaming for as long as I can remember, but I always thought it was normal and that everyone did it.

  • What Exactly Is Going On With Me?

    I woke up to my reality in January 2024. I was a maladaptive daydreamer for years starting from my teenage. I woke up and processed some of the repressed emotions. That made me feel alive. I started to focus on becoming my truer self and working on my life. I took up exercising, online earning as I…

  • Catastrophic Daydreams

    I've had MD for more than 20 years. For most of my life, my daydreams have been pleasant and enjoyable, but in the last few years, things have changed drastically. Most of my daydreams now are really scary and unsettling, almost like catastrophic thoughts in the form of a movie in my head. Any time…

Yes, for many people it has been, and I'm not challenging or dismissing the experience of anyone else here.…
