  • 25 Years in a Daydream: The Cost of Silence

    This may sound obvious to many daydreamers. I started MD when I was 12, and wish that I talked with my parents about my daydreaming disorder immediately when it started to make me laugh for nothing around everyone. It would've saved me the next 25 years of turmoil. Saying this, I daydreamed thickly…

  • Does Anyone Resonate With This?

    I am a maladaptive daydreamer from Asia. 23 years of age. I believe I have cured a decent chunk of my MD as I have felt being in the here and now many times as my alive and truer self has come to the fore. I woke up in 2024. My MD was about not being who I truly was due to the atmosphere not being…

  • Devaneios, um problema de saúde ou uma fuga dos meus problemas?

    Os episódios de sonhar acordada fazem parte da minha vida desde a infância. Tive uma infância difícil e acho que desde essa época, pensava muito mais em morte do que qualquer criança comum. O fato de eu odiar a minha vida e querer deixar de existir, me fez buscar alívio na imaginação (e que…

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

Ironically, I was invited to work here, too. Which also means that I'm in the same building with these…

  • 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. Until one day I talked to my sister about one of my daydreams and she was surprised. It's funny, I had never talked to anyone about it before.…

  • 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…
