Hi, in my daydreams I envision a totally different life, and I feel that I am no longer satisfied with who I am. Anyone else feel this way or something similar?

Recently I have found this website and realised that I am not the only one with Maladaptive Daydreaming. I want to share my story here, sorry for my bad English, I’m not a native speaker. 

So, it all started when I was 11-12 years old, after watching Harry Potter movies and reading the books. Since then I’ve been dreaming constantly. Dreaming about myself as a hero, a beautiful girl (I was bullied for being ‘ugly’), a savior.…

This doc may help a lot of people here. Even if you don't have ADHD, I would highly recommend going through it once.

I have been handling this for all my life since I was 10 years old and its eating away my time.

I also learnt something today. I learnt that blogging about my experience with MD is helping me cope with the disorder.

My dream is to become the best version of myself. I want to be the best version of myself to be able to heal the people who trust me… Continue

I have my exams in a month. I feel like I could have achieved so much more if it werent for MD. When I was in school at the peak of MD I used to get blackouts and migraines and yet I would not be able to stop daydreaming. I was a class topper in school until MD hit. It all started so innocently until it completely dominated my mind and hence my life. And then my grades started to progressively drop until in 8th grade I got a zero in my math mid term exam. I had never in my life gotten a zero…
