Well, probably not that tiny... I babble a lot.
Hello everyone.
My name is Sabrina, I'm a 24 year old art student in Texas, and I have just discovered... everything in terms of Maladaptive Daydreaming yesterday morning. I don't understand why I didn't search sooner, but now I'm here.
It all started when I was a child, maybe 5 or 6 years old. I had imaginary friends, began making up stories in my head and would…

Hi folks
I just joined and for a long time I just did not know what was wrong with me.
Then I found out there was a name for my problem after many years.
MDD has worn out its welcome in my book yet it still feels so good. I want to stop
but for what? Real life is terribly bland. I cannot seem to summon up interests
in those around me - I feel like an alien.For a long time I thought that the imaginary world was
better than the real…

ive said ive wanted to write before but i havent gotten around to it. I thought a good way to start was writing out character bios. I know some people on here are writers and im sure writing a character bio for you would be easy, but its so hard for me. Its just weird to write out. it feels embarrassing kind of. if anyone read them i'd die. its taken me 20 minutes just write down the characters first and last name. now im procrastinating by writing a blog on here. I think if i start writing…

My name is Amber, I am 27 years old and I am very very happy to have found this place.
I started day dreaming as a form of escapism when I was very young. I created a world for myself that was safe, kind and nurturing and I created friends for myself that were as real to me as the chair I am sitting on. Don't get me wrong i always knew they were imaginary, I'm not schizophrenic but i needed them. Trauma can take its toll on the mind of a child and they made it easy for me to get…

I am so tired of living in a dream and just exsisting in the physical. I don't want to dream, I don't want to go there, see them. I want to be awake, to enjoy life while I'm here. I try to snap myself out of it, live in the moment. But I look around, look at myself,.... empty.... meaningless exsistance. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed anything. Anyone looking at me would see a good life, good job, good marriage. I should be happy. Days, years seem to pass faster as I get older. I'm…

It went very well. I had trouble getting a moment to include it in my session, as we tend to intermingle other things-- my ptsd list rundown, then the job prospect, current little assignments I do weekly. Finally with 15 minutes left I squeezed it in.
He knew what I was talking about, said the "maladaptive part" is based on perspective! He mentioned how almost everyone does it. But, not everyone continues past childhood or even thinks of it as anything other than a few seconds…

I never really have done this before, telling my thoughts and stuff for people to read but I decided to just do it. I'm feeling really glad that I found a site like this. All this time I thought I was all alone with this sort of problem. I thought there was just something wrong with me.
I started my MD problem when I was about six. At first it was to escape my abusive father but then the reasons kept changing. During my teen years it was to escape the pain of just being a teen. Now…

So I was printing out pieces of a pattern for a baby bib and I was already imagining tracing it out on news print paper. daydreaming on the fabric i'd used when I get a big ol tummy cramp. Really makes me feel like daydreaming and pregnancy not such a good combo, but how to do things I want to do and not day dream is hard.

One famous daydreamer in history was Isaac Newton: "Growing up Isaac barely maintained average grades and often lacked attention in school. Villagers looked upon his daydreaming, habits of reading for hours at a time, and keeping records of his interests as mere eccentricity.."…

Let me introduce myself in the manner of other famous vampires. I’m Lavar, 16 years old, 6 feet, blond hair, and of course blue eyes. My grandfather was a viking, I got his looks. Vampires are out, pretty much because some scientists got a hold of one and tortured him with tests. So of course he escapes and decides to sue them. He took the video tapes of the tests with him so it wasn’t hard to point out which was the inhuman in those. So he won and we have a lot of new laws. Like if…

I went grocery shopping after work on Friday, and an MD storyline kicked in. When I interact with my imaginary friends, I move my mouth like I'm talking with them, but no sound comes out. So as I was moving my cart around the store, I couldn't stop myself -- I was gesturing and moving my mouth, interacting with my characters.
Fortunately, at first, no one noticed. People in public don't really pay attention to what's going on around them anymore. They are all talking on their cell…

ok so, i dont know if i wrote it on here or on tumblr, but I said I wanted to go to toronto on the day of the toronto film festival because kristen stewart was going and i wanted to see her in real life because she looks like one of my characters (i think that sounds lame, but im not obsessed with twilight or anything, she just fits my character really well)
so my friend and i skip school to go to downtown toronto to celebrity stalk (lol we met john goodman ahaha) and we had no luck…

I've looked around but alas, no dice.
Does anyone know of books that cover MD/CF in whole or part? can be clinical, biography or fiction.

So lately, home hasn't really been a safe place for me. At least it doesn't feel that way. My brother, who raped me when I was 8&9 (he was 12 or 13 ish) is staying here with my family and I for about a month. I'm 16, so I can't do a lot to get away and out of the house. I don't have my L either. My mom says she understands how I feel, but I know she doesn't. My mom and my dad went ahead and said "Yes you can stay" without even talking to me about if I'd be okay with it or not. It's…

I realize many talk about their other self(-ves) and I was in too much ...shock to even think of it.
First off, today being the first day aware of what's going on and how it happens to others, I was going to go out to dinner and do some window shopping with a friend. It was a nice time, but I knew I was a bit off. Even as I type this I feel like I'm seeing someone else type it (aka my "alter ego"). It's so strange.
When I first started really remembering this, I was…

I'm new here and found this via The Experience Project, along with various experiences I commented on.
This has been going on for a very long time, since age 4? 6? I really can't say. But I do remember when it started to take away from my life. I was 12. I started high school (we had no junior high, you went to the big school from grades 7-12). Lots of things at that time were horrific and I began having mood swings and a lot of depression. Since then I've had lots of other…
