"I partially agree. Setting goals helps if they're achievable. I'd only like to add that if your MD is severe, you should include that in your life plan, too. If you focus just on good things you want to achieve, you might subconsciously…"

"I believe that excessive daydreaming is just a habit and should not be recognized as a disorder in itself, perhaps an addiction? Just as cigarettes and alcohol are also used to escape reality and daily stress, both being very harmful when…"

Why and how to start working on MD to become more creative

Posted on June 11, 2024 at 6:00pm 0 Comments

It's impossible to make a blanket definition of creativity for every individual out there. But if I had the nerve, which I boast, then it would definitely include the word 'exposure'.

Some people claim that MD enables them to be more creative. I held that opinion once, too. The idea goes that only the state of being triggered into excessive daydreaming provides a suitable environment for your imagination to take shape.

How?

Abstract concepts and desires are lying at the…

I was thinking about one of the most recurring topics among MDers, both former and those who still suffer from it. I'm talking about the theme of being stuck too far behind in time, or moving so slowly that there is seemingly no hope to catch up with the rest of the world.

I'm no stranger to that feeling as a former MDer. However, now that I can look back at my past ordeals and judge it from a refreshed perspective, I believe that the 'rest-of-the-world-to-do-catching-up-with' was…

Biggest challenges quitting MD

Posted on February 20, 2024 at 12:30pm 5 Comments

For some reason today the universe bestowed a very philosophical mood on me, so I obeyed and decided to finally write an unedited blog post about MD. Like, I didn't even try to think about the logical structure or else. Just got an urge to shoot something out there.

Anyway, I divided the challenges into 3 types. This is rather arbitrary by the way, i.e. based on my observations more than the research papers. I've read them, too, but I wasn't religiously referring to them when listing…

Are you still waiting for Godot?

My excessively curious brain makes me learn about important things in the most unexpected ways possible.

This time, it happened while playing Ace Attorney. Happened twice, actually, but only once relevant to this post.

Not long after starting the game, I was getting YouTube recommendations about it. Mostly fandom things. Mostly severe brain damage inducing. Especially headcanon stuff. I hate the latter everywhere, not just in Ace Attorney.

Finally, I've got one that digs…
