I am better

I am better then I was. I changed my diet. Gave up sugar and high carb foods. Added in good fats, coconut oil, olive oil, butter. My mind works better now. Less anxiety and depression. I am better able to stop the dreams.

Idealism , a factor in daydreaming

One of the causes of my daydreaming  is idealism.  A  supportive family and environment  made it  to possible  to grow sheltered form the harsh realities of life  . Hollywood movies are full  of stories , with happy endings where  events happen for a reason leading to a specific  positive outcome. In real life ,  it is rarely the case.  

 Daydreaming can lead to inaction, since action can potentially disturb our fantasy . Whereas Inaction leave us with so many opportunities.  To an…

To do or not to do?

I love English. I'm doing it for my degree and I could not be happier with it, however, I recently discovered that my teacher lives in the same apartment complex as me... Not that bad, I can live with that, the problem comes when I'm day dreaming and he sees me murmuring to myself and writhing my fingers. 

A bit of background, my teacher and I have gotten along amazingly, we've really hit it off and he's one of the best teachers I've ever had. After he saw me murmuring and writhing my…

A little introduction

Hi! My name's Lou, I'm a female-to-male transgender teen with MD. 

I have had those fleeting, one-off fantasies for most of my life, but recently I developed a plot fantasy that I'm struggling to manage. I use it to cope with my lack of identity, so I can 'jump into' all my characters. We are all very separate people, we just share a body and memories. There's of us:

-Silas- a 44 year old, strong but greying male

-…

Which is worse with MD?

If you had to pick one problem being the worse, is it difficulty paying attention and listening or difficulty socializing and expressing yourself with others?

Pacing

I pace alot with MD. Especially to music and movies. Sometimes I excuse myself to the other room from where people and start pacing. I pace the moment I am alone in an elevator or alone in a single person restoom. How common is this with MD? I feel like these feelings that i pace to are good energy and full of creativity. I've done this my whole life. Is this a habit that needs to stop completely or should I set aside time to pace?

Question

I am 35 years old and it looks like I am in the same boat as alot of you other guys who just stumbled upon this word maladaptive daydreaming and I am so blown away how Googling the words pacing and whispering was the clue that just cracked the entire case to explaining every detail of my entire life! I was expecting to see possibilities of anxiety or stress or panic attack. I have been seeing a therapist regarding me being antisocial, standoffish and quiet my whole life and not showing any… Continue

Dropping my AP class

Last year my teacher said that AP Comparative Government was basically a class where we learned about the different governments of the world and how they are structured. I chose to take it because I though it would help me create more accurate and logical governments in my fantasy world, Ellse. 

However, as I discovered, it wasn't simply that. My new AP Comparative teacher, who is extremely passionate and tough, expects us to know already about current events all…

Discovering MD and my Struggles

Hello! I'm a teen, and I've had an "active imagination" for as long as I can remember. As an introvert, I've never had any problem entertaining myself--when I get bored, I just create appealing scenarios in my head, zone out, and daydream about them over and over again. Through the years, though, this daydreaming has grown from harmless to somewhat concerning. My daydreaming has become less controllable, and it has become harder and harder to turn it off and focus on the real world. I've…

I'm back for a little while

I'm back for a little while. I stopped logging in because day dreaming wasn't interfering with my life. However, I noticed that the past few weeks it's been causing issues with procrastination, and disrupting a project I'm working on. I begin working on the project again yesterday, which is writing a series of spiritual poems. If I continue working on them then I might or might not log in. I have to finish them by October 22.

Daydreaming to avoid unbearable reality

 I have daydreaming for almost 15 years ,i guess what started out a coping mechanism ended up being very addictive, 

it was because it allowed to improve ( in fantasy) my real circumstances without  taking any action. i could go anywhere, be anything,  do anything.. as long as my imagination allowed, an imagination inspired by reality. movies, books,..., basically i could solve all the world problems, incorporating real world characters , 

The closer my characters acted like in…

Hi there, I am an MD er too. Its a relief that such a term 'Maladaptive daydreaming' was coined. It is actually very comforting to know that many people like me exist.

I have had this disorder since my earliest memories. My MD has always been centered around my love interest at that point of time. Yes, I have always had a love interest since kindergarten. It just shifts from one person to another. I thought it was perfectly normal and that everyone had it. My daydreams always centred… Continue
