"Hi,
I feel you. Not that my life is boring, but everything I was covering up and avoiding has all come flooding back to me. I think MD was a form of escape and for me I have now found I have a lot of things to deal with. Adapting to this new…"

"How do I deal with it? Hahaha, I don't. ; v ; Honestly, I wish there was a machine that could detect that I was daydreaming and just give my head a smack. Till now the only effective thing around me is that one loose tile that clicks loudly…"
Valeria Franco replied to penglycoffee's discussion Mders who have stopped maladaptive dreaming, how do you deal with reality now? Isn't reality bland, serious and have no spark at all?"Kristina, you know, you got me thinking: when talking about being more interested in reality, many MDers could feel sort of frightened because they think they would need to begin to be interested in those sort of things they hate of life and…"
"Feeling the exact same way as you do. It's become a pretty significant part of my life now. I don't even know what I want to be, who I am. I have these ideals that make sense in my head but implementing them over what's already there…"
I am too afraid to be living like this but I am afraid to give up
I've been tied up for way too long, I forgot how to break free. I am afraid to give up on maladaptive dreaming because it's been too long, it's almost like who I am now. I am afraid that once I give up then I will regret it very badly and won't be able to come back. I don't even know myself, who I am and who I can become without maladaptive dreaming but at the end of the day I know that it really doesn't help me in any way. It pushes me far from reality and that pleases me but only temporarily.…See More

I think it's most important that you give yourself compassion, first and foremost! Be happy you start something. Congratulate yourself for every stretch of time you've stopped MD! And be proud of yourself…"
"Hi, i just got here. I'm the same, i'm just starting (or beginning to start) to understand MD and fighting it, but your thought are the same i had the moment i decided to do fight. I'm scared too, i'm finding it hard already at…"
Kalliope replied to penglycoffee's discussion Mders who have stopped maladaptive dreaming, how do you deal with reality now? Isn't reality bland, serious and have no spark at all?"To answer your questions honestly and spontaneously: I never understood how much MD had affected me. I did not perceive any kind of detriment in my everyday life, I thought it was just a past-time like TV and gaming is. I am honestly, and I'll…"

Isn't reality bland, serious and have no spark at all?"Sakshee Dhumal I think it's true, someone may not be ready to quit daydreams. In that phase, we are not able to see how things could actually be, just because we don't know ANY other way of living, as we have always…"

I had considered, but if I'd have written a first answer instead of you two, it would have been much more morose. This version is much…"
""Curing MD is solving all of these problem of your life. If the root cause is gone the side effect will be gone too."
By this I mean you have to cure your day to day problems first so your real life becomes better and you don't have…"
