Has COVID affected your MD?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Lisa Tomlin Dec 24, 2020. 24 Replies 4 Likes
I had MD almost completely under control, or so I thought. I started therapy, addressed the things in my life that made me fantasize, gained some self-esteem, and I started spending my days in the…Continue

"Oh gosh! I couldn't imagine having MD and not living alone!
I find the pandemic has made it more socially acceptable to stay home and get nothing done."
"Actually I have put the pandemic into my daydreams. I might change it a bit or something but its in there. I live alone so it gives me company. "
"I'm sorry. I know it's not exactly the same, but I was platonically in love with a guy at my work. What worked for me was not "feeding" that love- not daydreaming about it, changing thoughts when I realized I was thinking about…"
"I agree with Valeria on this one. In the times of my life when I was happier, my daydreams didn't control my life. It was also because in my case the daydreams were keeping me from having meaningful relationships in real life and a good self…"
"I also had cried when a character of my daydream dies! I can definitely get some of the things you're saying. Sometimes the story of my daydreams evolves when I suddenly have an idea I haven't thought of before, and it's kinda…"
"Martha, I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I can totally get why we wouldn't even try to stop daydreaming since the news seem to get worse everyday. At least you have family and friends to count on. And yeah, sleepless nights are also…"
"HI Cane,
so then you're not teleworking I assume. Yeah, commute to work usually was a time to daydream for me too.
Maybe we are more aware, especially now that we know what MD is. But I certainly know that when I had more "social…"
"Exactly, it is the same for me!
I enjoy my daydreams when they don't take such a big amount of time in my everyday life. When I can't even concentrate in work, or when I daydream during a phone call or such, that's when I start to…"
"Yes, Covid isolation has caused me to even stop trying to control it. I am retired and live alone. My family does phone, and I have zoom calls with friends but I have many many hours to myself and the daydreaming has most emphatically gotten worse…"
"It's more or less the same amount for me too. While commuting to work I often caught my self daydreaming after long intervals. When I'm at home I catch myself more frequently and more often.
Now that we're alone, maybe we're just…"
"Yes! I am 36 and have been a daydreamer or, "pretender," as I used to call it, since childhood. For the past six years, though, I had it under control and it wasn't taking over my life as much. The pandemic for sure has increased my…"
"Hi Spencer!
I must say I have only told my boyfriend about it, since we live together, and he actually doesn't think I'm crazy or anything. But it's something I prefer to keep private, because, unfortunately, most people aren't…"
"I can relate. Sometimes I also imagine myself punching one of the bullies I met in high school, or a really stupid and mean coworker. Normally my daydreams are not like that, but it happens from time to time. I also recreate past conversations when…"
"Hi James, I really wish you all the best. I'm sorry that life has been difficult on you, but things can get better. I hope in this forum you'll feel supported!
I was also bullied at school and had almost no friends, so I built a fantasy…"
"Hi Ariane,
Same here! I've only recently began monitoring my MD and trying to keep the time I spend daydreaming to a minimum, but like you said, with chronic depression it can be challenging to stay motivated to quit. I'm a bit bipolar, so…"

Hello everyone. This post will probably tell you nothing new, but I wanted to say hi and write a bit about my experience.
Like some of you, I am a very shy person. Not really sociable and insecure also. I had no friends during childhood and I was bullied in high school (although at least there I found my first real friends). My daydreaming began as fanfiction of books or movies or even videogames, but I gave it so much thought in the end I would twist so much the plot I would make…

- This pandemic has sort of triggered my mdd, making it worse and a lot more frequent than it would have been.
