Hi!!! I'm mils :)
I've had MD since I was 7, and I thought I was crazy and I felt alone.
I only learnt that it had a name a couple years ago. since then, I was able to find more people that have it.
Then I found this website, and I'm so happy there's a community out there with other people who struggle with it!! :)
I hope to talk to you all, and that we can all work on our MD and support each other through it <3

How do you daydream?

I'm reading through blogs and realising there are so many ways people daydream. Like, do you guys only have one way of daydreaming, do you have multiple, do you need music or need to be in a certain space, I'm genuinely interested!! :)
Also how else does it affect you? I mumble to myself when I walk, kind of humming the conversation in my mind. If that makes sense :)
Also, does anyone else daydream with spinning?
I know I seem really excited today haha, I'm just happy…

When I was 7, my parents divorced. While I don't remember if it affected me or not, I do remember developing MD in that same year. It helped me a lot to distract from everything, and I built up this persona in my mind where I had freedom and power.
As I grew older, my MDs made me feel like I was invincible. This took a hit to my social skills and awareness, and led me to get bullied once I entered high school. I thought that if I became my persona in my daydreams, the everyone would…

Hi, I signed up for this thing a while ago but I thought it was dead so I didn't end up using it. But hey, here I am!
I developed MD when I was 7, and it's still around today. I usually use writing and art as a way to express my experiences with it. As much as I appreciate it for helping me through rough times, I kinda want it gone. It's taken up so much of my time, my goals, my social life, and it's been getting worse lately, even though I feel happy. I was hoping to find some people…

"Actually people have mimicked what I look like WHEN I daydream. They demonstrate how my eyes roll up, practically to the ceiling and I make a gawping face. "
"I freeze and stare into space, or rant to myself. Apparently, I make people very angry or upset, even when I wonder the slightest bit. I've tried to drop daydreaming, but still find myself comatose when I'm doing something. "
"I daydream for hours on end, and it's weirdly affecting my physical health. I use spinning to do it, and I do it in my room, which usually leads to me hitting my hand against walls, furniture, etc. I get swollen fingers A LOT. Also, my…"
