Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
So I have not been to the doctors in ten years, not since my teens. I never went because I never got sick. Plus, I didn't have insurance once I left my family's plan. Anyway, I got a physical today and I mentioned how my memory recall has progressively become worst over the years. The Doc asked me a bunch of questions.She was a bit puzzled. Other than my MD' ing I'm healthy mentally(not depressed or suicidal or anxious) and physically fit.
Now, I think I've said in one of the forums…

Well i just finished the retreat and i have to say i do feel better but no cured. My MD instincts aren't as disruptive as they were before. EG my common triggers are when i get angered from things like News Talk Radio and technical difficulties w/ technology and these triggers have less sway over me now. Same with…

Ok, so i've been having "Harry Potter" related daydreams for years now. I of course have other types of daydreams, but HP has been the one consistent daydream that i just can't seem to shake. I went without watching the movies, reading the books AND looking up HP stuff on the computer for around 6 to 7 months straight.
When i was without it, i felt good and bad at the same time, you know? Like i was happy that i was pushing through, but on the other hand i was still daydreaming…

My mind is so complicated i think i cant stop daydreaming coz i cant live without that.

I've always had an overactive imagination - to this extent - but didn't realise until recently that this was not the 'norm'.
All throughout my childhood my imagination was encouraged by everyone - my mother, the media, etc - which was great and I loved (and still do) my imagination; I can escape away into it. I never talked about my fake worlds though, not because I was ashamed of it, just felt a bit awkward and like there was no point if everyone did it.
A few years ago I…

So, I told my doctor about my MD and he wants to put me on Ritalin 20mg. I'm still a little spectacle to try a so called "amphetamine" Sounds scary!!! =O Supposibly its suppose to help with my "concentration and attention" since he believes the daydreaming is preventing me from functioning properly in the sense that I tend to zone out a lot, procrastinate, and not focus. …

I found this video and can relate to what this girl is saying. Especially the part about it killing her from the inside and taking over her reality. I think she was very brave for putting this out there.

Hi!
My name is Jennifer, and I'm 15 years old. I've been part of this site since the November of 2012. I have been struggling with MD since about 6/7 years old, and I'm finally going to share my story by posting this poem I wrote about my MD plot. It is basically the entire plot of my daydreams in a nutshell. I plan to make this into a song really soon,…

I just saw "Les Miserables" last night. OMG. I have been like in grieving ever since i saw it. It is so emotional and powerful and yes i cried like 3 times.
I cannot stop listening to Anne Hatheaways "I Dreamed A Dream". Now all my Daydream characters and me are sad and crying and all emotional and depressed, LOL.
This is really a powerful and great film, once in a lifetime movie to see in theaters maybe, but i DO NOT recommend any of us on this site to see…

Hi, I've been reading everyone's blog posts lately and a lot describe feeling alone, or depressed so I just wanted to share with you all this reply about confidence which I found on yahoo answers. I just though it was pretty inspirational.
You are not alone. This IS a confidence issue and you have to realize what confidence IS to overcome your shyness. Confidence sounds HARD, like a mountain, that you need a psychiatrist to help you with. Well it's not. It's just two pretty…

I am a mess. I am stuck in a vicious cycle. I cannot live, I cannot cope, I cannot talk to anyone, I cannot get help.
I stop mding for a couple of weeks but in the real world I am completely depressed, I can't imagine anything that could ever make me smile. I can't remember the last time I smiled a smile that wasn't fake. I can't remember how happiness feels. I can only remember a few months of my life when I was happy, years ago. I convinced myself that md was the reason that…

I know a lot of people on here hate their MD and want to stop DDing, but that isn't something that I'll ever want (not that there is anything wrong with not wanting it). I just feel like I must missing something because I can't want to live in this world like they do. I just don't really feel like this world is worth it. I can't be happy in this world like I can in mine. I can't feel real in this world or present. I can't be happy with other people because I can't connect with them. I feel…

Hi again! I hope the new year started beautifully for all of you :)
I'm making progress in rooting myself to reality, and it's still like a whole new world to me! I keep forgetting rules of the imaginary don't apply here, that everything is changeable and imperfect. However, good things have a way bigger worth in the real world. And I would never change valuable, real feelings for any DD ones! They have a much stronger, richer flavor, that cannot be easily…
