Hey everyone!

I'm quite new here. I made an account a little while back, however this is my first post. I would just like to say thank you to everyone on this site, as well as the creators of the site itself. It's a relief to finally find somewhere which explains my life so well. Although I have not been diagnosed with MD, looking through all the symtoms I realised that…

Okaay so a while back I started painting again (I hadn't painted for about a year before that 'cause I painted only for art then didn't do art) and so I'm part way through my fourth picture (though I had to start again 'cause I screwed up badly from the beginning) and I did notice, even in year 11, (the last year I did art) that I didn't really fantasize while painting, only regular thinking, and maybe a bit of talking-in-my-head to a character* and today, I got up late and spent a total of…

I believe the best thing which could have happened to me has happened--and that's the realization that I am not alone. There are others like me. Real people,  chained to their own fantasy worlds. For the longest time I thought that I was the only one, that no one would understand. It is just such a... Well, there are no words in the English language which can describe the immense relief I feel at knowing there are people out there who won't look at me as if I'm…

OK, I'll try not to go stream-of-consciousness in introducing myself, but like most of the people I've come across here, I've been vividly daydreaming since I can remember - one of my earliest, if not the earliest memory, is of me daydreaming out loud as a four or five-year old and then being told by my father that he could hear me and that I needed to go to sleep. Ever since then, I have sub-vocalized my daydreams (I actually move my mouth without letting sound come out, non-vocalized…

Okay, I'm actually freaking out. So there's this guy on youtube that I and many others have been arguing with. And he made multiple fake accounts to make it seem like there were a lot of people on his side. And then I commented saying "I guess Multiple personalities wasn't as rare as I thought."   He commented back saying "

"How about sex addiction and MD disorder? How rare are they?

I'll tell you.

Only the truly degenerate or those who have been traumatically…

A little off topic in a way. I was looking thru the latest "W" magazine, I do this for research on trends and such for work. And I was overwhelmed at the utter lack of reality. As someone with Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder I have my own issues with reality but it seems this delusion IS their reality. Looking at the super thin models striking strange poses in bizarre outfits that you most likely couldn't walk in, and the photos of the designers hanging out with celebrities at parties. I…

 It was 10.30 pm in clock and I was in my friends room, which was my x-room and suddenly I decided to shift my 7-8 books, which I never shifted to my room,bcz, there is holiday tomorrow, so I could return them to shopkeeper and borrow new ones for my this semester exam.

Two girls were talking when I was about to carry that pile of books to my room and one of them said-"what a show off!". Well, I really didn't understand her comment. The whole hostel is busy doing their own…

I'm a 46 yo divorced single mom of 2 kids.  My marriage was the first relationship with a man that I ever had.  A year and a half ago, I started dating a guy (again), (long story there), and it was going great!  We get along so well, have so many of the same interests, viewpoints, opinions, etc.  We never fought (though he thought I should lose my love handles...even though I lift and run 5 miles several times/week)...so my boyfriend was the 2nd relationship I ever had.  On Valentines Day,…

Feelings that the lives of everyone around you are progressing/have progressed much faster than yours? While you have been wasting away in you're MD world...

Surprise at how far people your age or younger have come with their life experiences compared to you, in the same amount of time or less?

I feel like this a lot... :C

Things like...

Waking up and realizing I'm the only person at school without a smart phone, when a couple years mine was one of the most common…

                Welcome to my island. You’re on a beach. The sand is golden, the still sea, rich with light blues, greens and turquoises; it’s shallow enough to walk through. The beach is small, twenty or thirty yards, perhaps. My own private island. Behind the beach is the towering cliff face of a plateau. Atop the plateau is a lush field of soft, springy grass with a few flowers hither and thither. The plateau divides the islands up into sections, each with its own…

Along with MD, I've been noticing other things about me. For example, this has been going on ever since I was young. I would be obsessed with a certain topic for a month or two, and along with wasting my time daydreaming, I would spend hours researching about that topic. This phase will typically last for a month or more and at times my dds might also be based on this theme. The various topics that I've been obsessed with are psychology and different disorders especially MD, the…

Woosh! The room was rather in a puzzling state and I for all I could do was stare in an awe-struck trance at the glowing and shining of the lights. I had just simply pranced in to find a cascade of ruby, turquoise, and gold circles flying around the room. The way the lights circled around the room was in a random non-particular way that just flopped around everywhere. Never once had I…

I do have the symptoms of MDD, but I must admit that I think MDD is a symptom of other mental illnesses like Anxeity, Schziphrenia, ADHD, and possibly aspergers. I think in my case it is anxiety because most of my MDD's are negative thoughts that overcome my mind and my body is overwhelmed and acts out these thoughts. When I was younger I would get caught talking to myself, so as a cure I would only talk to my self when I was walking through the neighborhood thinking no one would notice. Now…
