Kalliope replied to Laura N's discussion Sorry to intrude - question for MD'ers"Yes, I concur 100% with Yukia. Nothing in this blurb sounds like MD would be the reason. Yukia very, very well described it, it's the smoke, not the fire, and the fire is some trauma or stress. The first thing that sprang to my mind is…"
"Hi Laura and thanks for your post.
Maladaptive daydreaming can never be the "root" as you put it.
First, it's a form of escapism that grew disproportionately large by outliving the original source of stress or trauma, thus becoming a…"
Sorry to intrude - question for MD'ers
My mother was an MD'er (I found our through her journals). After piecing her whole life struggle together I wrote the following blurb about her. Basically I tried to drill down to what I thought was her ROOT issue to look at. Does anyone else who is an MD'er feel connected to anything below? Just curious if my mother's MD was just a symptom of a larger issue or was MD the root...I am addicted to dependency. Nothing my partners have ever heard me say or seen me do can be trusted as…See More
"I never thought I had a personality disorder. With how everybody used to react towards me, I can't deny that I have some form of a personality problem. I do have Asperger syndrome, and it effected my life and how people looked at me. I can…"
"Yes. Actually I think I've had several PD diagnoses, but only two that were actually given a name. (At least ones that I know about.) The first, decades ago, was Paranoid Personality Disorder. This therapist did vaguely mention that he thought…"
"I grew up believing I can do anything and be anybody I wanted to be, and that was never true. In reality, I have disabilities in places and can't do everything right. In fact, many found me so weird and hopeless. All I've ever been good…"
"I’ve seen a therapist a couple of times, but not for MD. The only issue I had was anxiety with my fiance who had substance abuse issues. And, when I had panic attacks. I’ve always been quite social, had good friends and…"

"This has been very helpful. So the alcohol was suppressive to her first addiction - to fantasy. We always said the alcohol was just self-medication for her but wasn't sure what she was medicated exactly. This makes sense.

"Alcohol slows your mind. When you daydream, your mind is racing. So things that trigger the activity in your brain, trigger the day dreaming. For example, pop music, sugar,too much caffeine, these things give you a high. And the things that give you…"

My mother had a troubled life. Lots of anxiety, really awful unloving parents. She also had alcohol addiction. She couldn’t hold a job. She isolated herself. Her life was in shambles most her life.
In her journals she left behind (died 20 years ago) she describes maladaptive daydreaming (not in those exact words). She says things like whatever she wants she can dream up and feel. She would write she isn’t satisfied with reality. She became addicted and couldn’t stop. She lost… Continue

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(mrsstellaabudheir@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Stella.
