It's been 7 years of being a maladaptive daydreamer.

It started during high school. My parents had gotten divorced, I hated how I looked physically, I had been bullied enough to have to change of school, and my sister, who was my biggest friend, left home to study abroad. I felt completely lonely and disgusted every time I looked at myself in the mirror. I had massive acne breakouts, I never fully developed "as a woman is supposed to" and people made fun of my small breasts and how…

Hello! I'm new here =)

(Sorry for my poor english, actually I use google translate.)



I came across the term MD very randomly on the internet and when I searched about it, I realized that unfortunately there are few resources about this disorder. In fact, this is the only community I could find. Although it doesn't seem to be as active here as it used to be, I'm glad people are still checking out this website. It makes me feel encouraged that there are other people like… Continue

When I was 7, my parents divorced. While I don't remember if it affected me or not, I do remember developing MD in that same year. It helped me a lot to distract from everything, and I built up this persona in my mind where I had freedom and power. 

As I grew older, my MDs made me feel like I was invincible. This took a hit to my social skills and awareness, and led me to get bullied once I entered high school. I thought that if I became my persona in my daydreams, the everyone would…

Hi, I signed up for this thing a while ago but I thought it was dead so I didn't end up using it. But hey, here I am!

I developed MD when I was 7, and it's still around today. I usually use writing and art as a way to express my experiences with it. As much as I appreciate it for helping me through rough times, I kinda want it gone. It's taken up so much of my time, my goals, my social life, and it's been getting worse lately, even though I feel happy. I was hoping to find some people…

Unfortunately, I noticed that there are only a few new blog posts, most of them on this page are from summer. Is this forum always so quiet? Because I'd really like to talk to some people frequently, as I'm currently on some meds (for daydreaming) and I want to document my results and talk about MD in general. If anyone is interested in chatting, feel free to leave a comment on my profile. Thanks a lot!!

Hi there, I'm new here and I'd like to introduce myself :)



●I'm from Austria

●I'm addicted to daydreaming (obviously)

●I've been a maladaptive daydreamer since I was 11 years old

●I'm on SSRI Fluoxetine because I read that it makes MD better. At the moment, I haven't noticed any differences though - I guess it' because I'm only 1 month in

●I still go to school so MD is literally a curse for me - I can't get any work done and it's super hard to study for… Continue

سلام

شاید نتوانم انگلیسی را درست تایپ کنم، زبان مادری من نیست، مرا ببخشید، من در سنین پایین خیلی خیالبافی را تجربه می کردم، اما اخیراً آنقدر شدید شده است که حتی نمی توانم تمرکز کنم، دوستان من فکر کن من یک احمق هستم آنها مضطرب هستند

I was so happy when i first read about MD. Honestly I thought that everybody would do that but apparently there are only „a few“ of us :) I have three worlds i created. One: I am a soccer player and I created my whole career and the career of other „players“ and „coaches“. It is like a fantasy soccer game. I have every year, every World Cup etc in my mind. The other world is me as a basketball player. Same like the world before and the last world is me as a actor. I started at the age of 15 I… Continue
