I have been handling this for all my life since I was 10 years old and its eating away my time. Today i found out that someone one year younger than me is doing much better than me and i could not help but feel envious. I have been daydreaming all my life and it has hindered with my progress. I make slower progress than my colleagues. I have always been that way since this started. I am so tired of this disease. I am so tired of living this way. This disease had lead me to have suicidal…

My dream is to become the best version of myself. I want to be the best version of myself to be able to heal the people who trust me… Continue

When I was in school at the peak of MD I used to get blackouts and migraines and yet I would not be able to stop daydreaming. I was a class topper in school until MD hit. It all started so innocently until it completely dominated my mind and hence my life. And then my grades started to progressively drop until in 8th grade I got a zero in my math mid term exam. I had never in my life gotten a zero…

Hi. Im Suprajaa. Im a General surgeon. I have been having MD all my life. I have my exams in 24 days and i spent 2 hours daydreaming today. Im so happy that this disorder is finally recognised because I spent my childhood looking for answers I could not find.
I just cant express how much this disorder has affected me. I mean I could have achieved so much more if it weren’t for this. I feel like the only thing that helps me stay in reality is meditating and reading books. Also Im so happy… Continue
