8 very long days

It's my 8th day without MD. I had a weird dream and then I tried to stop. 

Now a few days have passed.

My brain says it wasn't that bad, you can live with it. Return to it. …

find to proceed

Daydreams are a way for people to locate themselves, what they value, what they desire, the feelings that make them feel good, for example, if a person often dreams about killing a dragon, it means that the feeling What they value most is courage, everyone in the world has daydreams, they dream, most of the time real life is different from dreams, but that's life, so when we move away from daydreams, we feel lost , in a world that is much more tedious, slow and uncontrollable than it seems,…

I could've been someone

hiiii it's been a while

so lately I've been struggling with a lot of things, and then something hit me. If I didn't have MD for the majority of my life, I might've been able to achieve what I have dreamt of. Maybe if I didn't lose all those hours to it, I could've developed the social skills and intelligence to get what I wanted by now. I always dreamy of revenge of people who've hurt me, but I can't execute those plans now, I don't know I'm just writing stuff. It just hurts me to…

I call it my demon.

Hello everyone,

I discovered this site a year ago. Until then I didn't know what MD was and it shocked me to my core. I was not alone, but i didn't change anything and I ignored everything I read and continued.

A brief summary of my demon (as I call him). I am successful, respected, loved. I have a job that I don't have in real life.

I keep imagining the same situation. Everyone admires me, I'm important. The situation varies in relation to the person. It depends on who…

First time here

Hi, this is my first time here. I only learned about what is maladaptive daydream yesterday and it kinda scared me because the symptoms were too familiar to me. English is not my first language, so if anything's wrong please have some patience.



I'm still processing all of this and trying to understand and accept. I would really like to know how it was for all of you accepting and understanding? I think this maybe me the start for me, to try to control my MD.



To me it… Continue

Me and my mind

Long time no see everyone!!

So, my previous post was rather depressing, and I was honestly not well mentally. Now I'm much better. 

I've decided to post an update, and this post is really important to me personally as it is my anniversary on this website. It's been a year since I discovered the community of people just like me. It feels surreal, but I somehow managed to…

Death of My Mom (10 Year Anniversary Memory Dump)

Hello people of Wild Minds,

Today is my mom's 10-year deathaversary. I'm 25 now, and my mom died when I was 15. I was actually on Wild Minds when she died, and I made a few blog posts about it at the time.

Anyway, since it's her 10 year deathaversary, I've been visiting some old memories. I've always been someone who's found it therapeutic to write about impactful/traumatic memories, so figured I'd write a sort-of narrative about my experiences.

July 23rd, 2014 was the…

I don't understand

I should be asleep, but I need to tell someone because I need to feel heard.





A few months ago I met someone, and we talked into the early hours of the morning and throughout the day. My daydreams seemed to have almost silenced. They diminished and I had the strength to stop anything that went against reality. I was living, finally. I never allowed myself to create scenarios with real people for fear that they would become real, a bit crazy perhaps, but I still believe… Continue

Fighting days

Everyone has daydreams, this is dreaming, we, unlike other people, simply get addicted to it, you will never get rid of daydreams, because it is natural in human life, unless you learn to live without it, incredibly, there are a small proportion that works, but the most likely is that they are those people who had some life circumstance that contributed to this, such as having to take care of their family from an early age, take food home, things like that, people who from an early age, did not… Continue

My invisible enemy

Ok, I'm not very good with texts and especially in English (I'm from Brazil), it's a surprise for me to meet people who are suffering from the same thing as me, because I actually discovered what MD is about three days ago, but I've been fighting him for seven years and I didn't even know.



I always felt like there was something wrong with me, it was strange, right after I finished high school, that's when it got worse, I converted a little before finishing school, and that was… Continue

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

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…

Is it all really lost? A little post about nothing before bedtime, really.

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…

End with us

A lot of people felt that end with us was not that great a book but to be honest I liked it , it’s an exact depiction of what happens . I have lived like that though my father never really hit my mother they argued a lot and he has had many a times tried to hit me . I say try because some phir I have always been lucky and escaped and the whole making up after it and stuff the worst part is that same I can’t ever forgive me it’s impossible. My Maladaptive daydreaming started because of that…

I’m so tired of being.

I don’t ever understand what’s going on in my brain, I always feel like I’m going mad, I feel like a complete stranger in my own body. I wish I could better explain what I experience, but I don’t know how to. I’m sorry, I’m just so exhausted. I wish the world would stop for a second. Life’s been going on for so long, & I just want a break. Just some moments of peace. Please, if not a lifetime of it.

MD set me back years - figuring out who I am

Reading some blog posts on here made me realise something - my MD has set me back years. I had a distorted view of who I wanted to be through my daydreams - a violent person surrounded by drama and boys. And I realized, this is what I wanted when I was in primary school. I didn't want this to be my life when I'm out in the real world. But I was still clinging to this version of me, one with anger issues who can do whatever she wanted. 

A few months ago, I had some time without my…

The illusion of me.

Hi everyone. I promised to myself that I'll post my honest feelings, so now I've decided to write an update. I've dreamt again.

Life has been rough recently so one day I couldn't resist the urges. At first it felt like heaven. But now as I continued daydreaming it started to get worse. Now life feels unbearable again. I know that I am strong enough to start again. Even if fall again, I'll pick myself up, over and…

Discovering MD story / Living in reality for the first time

(First post) As soon as I discovered MD on YouTube (on Dec. 21st 2023) and started paying attention to myself and catching my (music/pacing) habits, especially to AMV's (anime music videos). I had like this loooooong pause realization moment and was like "for ALL THESE YEARS........THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN DOING???" At that very moment...........I knew I was going to tell my story somewhere on a forum, because just discovering the term "Maladaptive

Daydreaming"........simply changed my life.… Continue

If only I did it better

Parents have been telling their kids over the years that daydreaming doesn't get you ahead in the world. My parents never knew that I was a daydreamer, at least my mom didn't, and I was a very quiet kid. I was always thinking and trailing off now and then. Rather than staying in the present moment with others. I didn't tell them what's been going on in that head of mine. 



Whatsoever, when I was 12, my dreams began to get very thick and overpowering. It made me feel wonderful…

The Illusion of happiness.

I promised that I’ll post frequently, so here I am, rewriting this whole post again, because I googled how to say ‘action movie’ in English and the text just disappeared… So just know that I had enough dedication to share my thoughts with you Σ੧(❛□❛✿)



Life has been… pretty okay honestly. Sounds so unusual to me, because then I had MD every day of my life was a living hell. Now days are mostly quiet and mundane; I go to the gym, study, eat, go to bed, go to the gym, study, go to…
