Me!" Just because they daydream a lot & it's not fair to those who have it. Not saying you're one of them, but MDD is still in the middle of being discovered.

It is still a malnourished idea that doesn't have the ability to effectively filter out those who have it & those who don't have it yet. Right now it's just a bunch of people diagnosing themselves, but that's just how it's going to have to be for a while til it is further developed & brought into a more serious light. Either way, maybe some people only have excessive daydreaming, or only to the point where it's not a disorder, just a quirk cause nobody's perfect. But a disorder is a disorder, it's something unhealthy that needs care. A disorder is not something to glorify & be seen as an outlet of creativity. The simple definition of itself contradicts that.</span><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[1]"/><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[2]"/><strong><span id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[3]">dis·or·der</span></strong><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[4]"/><em><span id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[5]">[ diss áwrdər ]</span></em><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[6]"/><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[7]"/><span id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[8]">-illness: a medical condition involving a disturbance to the usual functioning of the mind or body.</span><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[9]"/><span id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[10]">-lack of order: a lack of systematic or orderly arrangement.</span><br id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[11]"/><span id=".reactRoot[61].[1][2][1]{comment319356274844265_319646604815232}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3].0.[12]">-messiness: a state of messiness.</span></span></span></span></span></p>Tumblr Trend?tag:wildminds.ning.com,2012-12-19:4661400:BlogPost:1191182012-12-19T00:30:00.000ZDestiny Lundhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/DestinyLund
<p>Anybody notice the pretty decent-sized MDD community on Tumblr? Well, they claim to have MDD but all they really say is that they daydream kinda often. Don't tell me I'm the only one who sees the enormous amounts of false claims on Tumblr, maybe it's all in my head. :P</p>

I guess I needed to vent, I've never vented about it before. I feel bad now, I just typed in 90 mph anguish, I wasn't even sure what I was typing. Well, here's what I typed:<br/><br/>Hmmm, I'm not sure U have it then. It can affect ur life negatively. You lose parts of your life, you can't focus, no medications or vitamins help, you become so scarily involved as if the characters are real, you get so frustrated with your<span class="text_exposed_show">self cause you can't do anything but daydream most of your life away & U can't stop until your mind says U can, a lot of the daydreams us people have are negative, you can't even be creative with it most of the time because when you're striving to be creative is when it gets at its worst & U can't even concentrate to put it down on paper, you get bad grades(average at absolute best) because you will try your absolute hardest to focus forcing yourself but before you know it you missed all the notes & lectures, many become obsessively attached to the characters & it's as if you're right there- you cry when they cry, you laugh when they laugh, you pull your hair when they hurt themselves, you feel extreme revenge when they are after you or your loved one, you make faces while doing it/flail your arms/wince/rock back & forth & then you wake up to realize that your crazy cause nobody's there, you can't shut it off, you feel like a total freak, it's difficult to live in the real life. It's good & bad. It's only good when you're in it because it forces you to use your creativity, because it's adrenaline, & because it's addictive. You know what MDD is like? It's like how people feel with heroine- they feel completely awesome when they're in the middle of the ride & are addicted to it, but once they get off the ride they realize that they've wasted most of their life on fantasies, they can't ever get their life back, & they realize it's not just being creative- it's a monster in your head that FORCES you to be creative. It's like being thrown into a prison, being chained to a chair, & being told to paint paintings nonstop for the rest of your life because you have no choice but to have your life & creativity be sucked out of you whenever it is convenient for THEM not you. The doctor making this disorder aware says that some people mistaken MDD for some daydreaming & extreme creativity- I wish that's all I had. It's like the movie "Click" with Adam Sandler- except you never had a choice. Your mind picked up that remote when you were a small child & pushing fast forward to all the "good" parts for the rest of your life til you die with your deceiving fantasies. But hey, as long as it's fun in the middle of the ride right!?! It's a colorfully candy-coated curse. .... I wouldn't wish it on anybody, at least that's how it is for me....<br/></span></span></p>People Aware Of My Issue:tag:wildminds.ning.com,2011-09-12:4661400:BlogPost:517702011-09-12T13:55:09.000ZDestiny Lundhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/DestinyLund
<p>Even though MDD has always affected me negatively, to where I can barely function. NOBODY knows what I've been going through or what I have. I have told my best friend & my fiance a couple little things about me(the MDD side of me), but I've never implied anything or went further. I've never told a soul about any of my MDD cause of fear. When I was little, I used to think I was either straight jacket-crazy, or that I was mentally challenged.... sad. </p>

<p>. . . . I can't believe it, I finally found what I have. I've been researching off & on for years to find out if there was a name for what I have, if there was anybody else like me or if I was just crazy. I finally discovered it on the internet yesterday. I literally began crying out of relief cause every single symptom they listed couldn't fit me more perfectly. It was just like how my mother broke down crying out of relief because they finally made people aware of OCD/shed some light on it over a decade ago.... now I know EXACTLY how she felt. I've had Maladaptive Disorder since I was 4 years old. I've daydreamt 1/3 of my life away, nearly all of them negative daydreams. If they're not negative, they're overly theatrical & ostentatious. All of my daydreaming is quite complex & detailed, I am so involved in it. I do it at any time, things like listening to music, reading, & writing trigger it more though. I tend to do it excessively before I fall asleep. Thank goodness my body doesn't act out physically in correlation with my daydreams though when other people are around, besides the rocking back & forth. There are more details about my MDD but I'd rather not list it all here, that's for later. I have mild OCD, moderate bipolar disorder, & severe ADD. With some symptoms, It's difficult to tell when my ADD & MDD are overlapping each other though. I hope we will make people, especially doctors very aware of this & shed an ample amount of light on Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder ASAP. </p>Hello, Here R Some Details About Me:tag:wildminds.ning.com,2011-09-12:4661400:BlogPost:518212011-09-12T13:36:13.000ZDestiny Lundhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/DestinyLund

<p>I'm friendly, brutally honest, loud, really hyper, I hav vry strict morals yet I'm crazy/eccentric, I'm devoted, aggressive, adventurous, self-sacrificing, I'm horribly clumsy, I'm esoteric, stubborn, aesthetic, & I believe in standing up 4 what's morally & ethically right. I'm ENFP borderline ISFP. :-)<br/> <br/> I graduated from R.G. Drage May 21st 2009. I'm beyond happy 2 B engaged. I've been w/ my fiance for 6 1/2 years, we're getting married in a few weeks. I am gonna B a singer in a band someday, I promise U that. To be a singer has been my dream since I was little, music runs through my veins. ^_^ Hair color- dark caramel blonde, Eye color- grey/blue, Things I despise- abortion, ppl who R too serious, the color pink, ppl who are egotistic, ppl who judge others, family that doesn't act like family, & ppl who R prejudiced/racist. I hav a hot temper, but I hav a good wide sense of humor. I laugh a lot, I mean a lot. I get bored easily, but I'm easily satisfied, I dnt ask for much. I'm extremely analytical. I'm very mature for my age but a kid at heart. I love giving, helping, making ppl happy. I love being very imperfect & "normal" is boring. I have been born again/baptized. I go to the most amazing church "New Life Ministries" in Louisville. The ppl there R great, their music doesn't put U 2 sleep, they go strictly by the Bible, U can B yourself, U can dress however U want without being judged, & U can really feel God's presence-that's a REAL church. I strive to better myself everyday. My CLOSEST friends only know about 80% of who I am, I am xtremely complex, so it doesn't matter if U judge me- that's God's job. ;P<br/>Hobbies: writing songs & poems, drawing people, singing, internet surfing, riding my bike, playing video games, & airsoft. <br/>Interests: singing, psychology, auto mechanics, random statistics, the Bible, quizzes, scrapbooking, DIY, & home remedies/alternative health. <br/>I think that about covers everything. If you would like to know something, feel free to ask. <br/>:-)</p>
