Recently I have been getting into the Myers Briggs test and have been finding some very interesting correlations between types.  I'm an ENFP that has struggled with MDD my whole life.  In descriptions of 'N' vs 'S' there is a common theme that N's are more "imaginative" and tend to day dream.  It makes me wonder if types with strong N's are more likely to develop MDD.  So could everyone post their MBTI type?  I'm really interested if we will have an S types and how their DD differ from the…

For the past few weeks, or maybe even months, I have found it very difficult to get myself motivated to do much of anything anymore. Every so often when I run out of dishes I do my dishes. I do my laundry once a week. And that's about it. I haven't been able to really clean the place in awhile. I'm also finding it harder and harder to get myself out of bed anymore.

I ran to my house and my mom freaked out and told me not to go to the…

Hey all. I am relatively new to this community but definitely not new to this condition. Only recently I have discovered maladaptive daydreaming is actually a thing that other people do and struggle with. I'm 40 years old and have realized that I've been doing this since at least grade 7, all because I couldn't cope with being myself. I had a very emotionally and physically abusive home life and was bullied a lot in school back before the Internet was a thing. So I began escaping into this… Continue
