So, I've seen a lot of people ask about curing MDD, yet I have no desire to stop? I feel like its actually something I can use to my advantage. My main problem is learning how to. I can imagine full…Continue

"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…"

Did you guys do weird things because of MDD
Okay, so when I was younger, I would completely ignore my toys (I had a lot) in favor of pencils, kitchen utensils, a mental stick, etc. I would walk around and pretend that the items where the hands of my characters and act out their movements.

Is it bad that I dont want to stop my day dreaming?
So, I've seen a lot of people ask about curing MDD, yet I have no desire to stop? I feel like its actually something I can use to my advantage. My main problem is learning how to. I can imagine full animated scenes in my head, yet I don't know how to make my stories real and to show them to others without sounding crazy. I really hate the idea of it fully going away. My head has always been like this, its part of me, I don't know what its like without my brain entertaining me. Am I the only…See More
