I have been with nd for most of my life. Almost from the moment I wake up I immediately jump into one of my characters. Its getting harder to stay in reality.



My sister asked when I eventually pass away what will people remember about you what were your accomplishments?



I didn't have an answer for her.



Whatever environment I'm in even at work I create the story of my character around it or just MD about the daydrsam or future conversations o am going to have. It… Continue

Hi everyone, I’ve had MDD as long as I can remember. I had a difficult childhood so I suspect it was triggered by that. I’m 37 years old and I have been actively battling the condition since I was 30. I’ve had periods of success but I’ve not been able to quit the habit for good. It would be great to hear any advice you have on how to reduce it, manage it or ideally stop for good. I’ve missed out on so much stuff due to MDD. I hate the hold it has on my life, but stopping has proved elusive so… Continue

Ocd depending on severity can be a mental disorder so why can't MD depending on severity. I am 33 years old and have spent half of my life daydreaming. I am still stuck mentally and going out and doing things to probably about the age of 20 year old.

Hello everyone! My name is Katie, but I go by Kat.

I couldn't tell you when I started daydreaming maladaptively, and honestly I don't think it matters considering most people on here either live with maladaptive daydreaming (MD).

I'm also a college student pursuing a bachelor's of science in psychology at the moment. I actually was able to write an English…

On Tuesday my kids and I are flying to NY to visit family.  A friend of mine, who used to be my roommate, is going to watch my dogs for me.  Because I've been in my head a lot lately, the house is a mess!  We're cleaning today.  I gave my kids the living room, hallway, and bathroom to do while I take care of the kitchen.  (their ages are 20 and 16 but they never clean unless I nag them)

Eventually, we took a break.  I have like 80% of the kitchen done.  That was over an hour ago, and…

I feel very conflicted about my maladaptive daydreaming.  I mean, for most of my life I've lived in my head.  Oddly enough, this didn't stop me from living a very active and full life.  I would just daydream whenever I didn't absolutely need to be grounded in reality.  I've had many wonderful real life experiences and met some amazing people over the past few decades.

The problem is that sometimes my daydreaming gets in the way of life and it's gotten more intense over time.  Everyone…

I’ve been daydreaming since i was a child, i didn’t know what daydreaming is or what i was doing. I just liked the feeling it gave me, it helped me coping with my depression and loneliness but when i got older i realized that half of my life i wasn’t actually living i was disconnected from realty. I don’t know its a weird feeling i don’t like it. But my therapist said that i was smart for choosing daydreaming instead of drugs or whatever to cope with my depression and anxiety, but…
