Hello. I'm Rachel and I just joined. I've been pretty quiet but have been reading all of your posts. I've been constantly daydreaming for years. Usually my DDs last for a few months and then I get new ones.

Anyway, lately I've been trying to stop but simply refusing to let my mind go there made me unhappy. Instead, what I've been trying to do is "complete" my character's life, solving her problems, making amends with other characters etc so that the story can't go anywhere.…

Im bored.. just laying in my bed unable to sleep. gonna start daydreaming as soon as my laptop dies which could be any second now. How is everybody? I know im ready for the weekend. I didnt make any plans so ive got it all to myself.

Any new achievments involved in MD or even not involved in MD?

Whats your current daydream? Im not set on one right now specifically just jumping around here and there.

I just started high school and ive been able to focus on my studies well…

I'm new here so I really have no idea how this site functions, so you'll have to excuse me!

I have felt as though I am losing my mind for years now, except that before I can appropriately address the fear and try to make plans for improving things I start 'daydreaming' again. My entire life is made up of elaborate 'fantasies' (I hate that word-it sounds nerdy and like i'm a creep) and half-baked regular thoughts. I can't function anymore!

I'm a full time uni…

My name's Ashilla, I'm twenty. I work and go to college. MD hasn't really interferred with my life and it hasn't affected me the way it has alot of you guys, from what I've read. In high school and now I'd say I'm pretty social and outgoing. Always looking to make new friends and I actually read a real lot. But in recent years I haven't really indulged in it as much. Unlike alot of you, as I got older I pretty much only daydream about real people and real things happening. More of like,…

On top of my Maladaptive Daydreaming, I also have really bad Misophonia.  A couple of other people on here have mentioned having a sensitivity to sounds, so I thought I'd share this article.  Misophonia is an extreme hatred of certain sounds.  Personally, I get really angry when I hear someone eating or chewing gum.  I think it's revolting to hear or watch someone chewing anything with his or her mouth open.  I wish I could outlaw gum-chewing.  I refuse to be around people when they're…

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if any of you guys there live in Boston. If so, I would love to get in touch atleast by e-mail or by phone.

Thanks

So, I am trying to stop..but it is too addictive..

Has anybody stopped?? Does anybody have any tips??

I don't know how to stop...and it's making me feel good when I'm in that world..then once I'm out..I feel bad..

Earlier this week, I decided to try and control my MDD.  While it hasn't been easy, I feel tentatively ok about my first week.  Here are some of the main learning points for me:

• Going completely cold-turkey, realistically, was never going to happen.
• Leaving my iPod in my work drawer (30 miles from…

...And I find myself daydreaming less and less now that I'm more busy. The only times I daydream are if I'm taking a long, slow walk to class. Sometimes I'm really late for a class, and all I can concentrate on while walking to the class is, "I'm late! I'm late! OMG!" and I can't daydream. I have 2 roommates who also distract me from daydreaming because I'm constantly talking to them. Other than that, I'm pretty much just studying and eating (not too much though, I don't want to gain the…

Just me venting.

You probably wouldn't be interested in it... here it is anyway.

I really hate being angry or annoyed at myself because you can't get away from yourself. And because it's a certain time of the year, I am so annoyed with myself.

Firstly, for a reason I don't know, I am terrified of a type of bug that only comes out around this time of year, and normally likes to hide in grass, then fly up right in front of your face when you walk near them. Why…
