I wonder

I was thinking about the people we MDDers have in our daydreams. For me, in my DD world I am just an improvenet of the current model; thinner, more fit, talented, funny, & intelligent. As your ideal self, do you find your preferences in men/woman change? Maybe you feel more apt to approach someone 'out of your league'?

impacts of MD, and how to overcome it.

---WARNING! LONG POST AHEAD!---

Lately, on this website I've noticed less and less posts about "curing" MD or just finding hope through and for MD.

Indirect Awearness

I find myself fading into a trance of absolute disconnect, as in I almost completely vanish into my own imaginative world.

Most people turn to the technology surrounding us but I can't seem to do this, it is much easier to disappear into my own mind were I am always the hero of my stories or always wanted and loved by all. The problem with this is that I… Continue

Family and MDD - ZO

So, my family doesn't know about MDD or that I have it. As far as they know I am their angel child with perfect grades, good friends, and active in the school community.

Lately, I have started to watch and enjoy anime. Which is super fun, a lot of my friends watch anime and I convinced NE to watch the one I love. But, then MDD kicked in.

Let me rant about fanfiction…
