Hello everyone... :) I found this website on Yahoo News while I was reading an article... I simply wanted to write from my own personal experience with daydreaming... Its so encouraging to read how you all are searching for truth in regards to this serious issue and being there for one another... supporting each other... how wonderful... keep doing what you are doing... I'm 31 years old... Growing up in a verbally abusive environment with constant conflicts every day... I…

Recently Yahoo! picked up an article about maladaptive daydreaming featuring our fearless leader, Cordellia. I'm 100% behind anything that gets our issue out in the open and raises awareness. But it makes me feel like my bubble will be burst. When I first found out that there were other people like me I was so relieved! Then I felt like I had to change from being an oddball to being part of a group. That was a new experience. It's still foreign for me to feel like I "belong" somewhere but I…

Not really sure how this website works – I am kinda “old school” when it comes to tech like this. Anyway, I felt the need to share my story here. Maybe just as a way to reach out to others who would actually understand on a level that no one I have ever met in person has been able to do. I have “confessed” to a few folks over the years. No one has ever been openly judgmental or anything, but you can tell that they don’t really understand what you are talking about. I have gotten the…

I was a lonely kid, and had loved to write, but it took so long to get my thoughts down on paper! I would spend hours at night thinking of the plot, characters and places for my stories. This became a problem for me when I would constantly fall asleep in class because I wasn't sleeping! I f I could get half of my ideas on paper, I think I would be a very popular writer. I sometimes read books and short stories and think "Hey! I thought of that years ago!" 

I have continuing story…

Yesterday Bryn and I met up with Isaac and his Grandmother again. This time we went to the Tower of London. I really enjoy being with Isaac and it has made me think about if one day Bryn and I will have any kids. Bryn has always said he wants children, but I am nervous to say that I am not sure if I want to as well. I do not think I would be a good dad. There is too much wrong with me, what if my children learn things from me that they should not. I would not want anyone to be like me. It…

I have too many identities to keep track of them all. You could call me Photosynthesis or some shorter form of it. Like Pho. Or whatever you want. I really don't mind what you call me, exactly.

I'm an aspiring writer.

I saw this website on a Yahoo article. I had researched into the slightest dabble of excessive daydreams at times when I wonder why I'm different from everyone, and finding this website makes me realize just how little I am alone.

I'm sixteen years old with…

Hey friends, I deleted my account just day before yesterday because I thought there is no solution for my MD and so its no point wasting time here. I WAS WRONG. I had forgotten that there is no one who will be able to understand me better than you'll. So I came back. Now, coming to the point I've lost interest in everything, I can no more study. So, I took help from our family doctor who said that I may be suffering from 'brain fatigue'. Can you help me out please. My board exams are in…

I have been emerged in my daydream for almost 2 years now. I began during a time when I was suffering in an emotionally abusive marriage. The characters have become more real to me than the people I know in real life. I love them and I miss them when I am not with them. Some days I can get things done, but then there are days I spend hours in my other world. About a year ago I tried searching for things like,…

Some times as a child, I would awaken in the wee hours of the morning scared beyond belief.  When this happened, I would cry out for my parents in the next room.  Thankfully, at least one of them would always respond.  They would enter my bedroom asking, " What's the matter?  What could possibly warrant such screams?". I would then proceed to tell them.  I would say, " I was just running from a horrible monster, not more than a minute ago!", and I would be…

Hello.  This is my first blog.  I just found this site because of a Yahoo article and I can't believe what I've found.

I had such an overwhelming feeling...I still can't even describe it.  It's like truly finding out you are not alone.

I'm so scatter brained right now I don't know where to begin...I daydream every day.  If I had to take an estimated guess of how long I daydream i'd say about 2-4 hours a day on average.   There are many triggers and it's not…

There are certain things I do when I DD I laugh out loud when one of my characters make a joke or do something funny. I would smirk or smile. I do funny expressions on my face. I make sound effects to my stories. People notice me staring blankly into space and ask me if I am alright. Sometimes I want to blurt out no I am not alright I feel that there is something wrong either me. I believe I have serious mental issues but after some personal research I am doing better.

My family sees…

I am experiencing excessive uncontrollable daydreaming and feel detached from reality often.

Something sparks my imagination and I create elaborate scenarios in my mind. I usually place myself as one of the characters. I have several daydreams per day that last from 5 minutes to hours. I keep thinking about these things and get so distracted. It just seemed to me that I had this weird problem that no one else had.  But after researching this

 I am happy to not be the only…

I have daydreamed for a long time but when your young you have the option to act out these fantasy. When I was around 8 me and my friends would play in the woods and pretend we were warriors or had superpowers,etc, did this till I was about 12 or 13. It was the most fun I had ever had and it really helped bring out my creative side. Ever since I was little I have loved making up stories. Even when I played with barbies, it was much more intricate than the way other girls would play.…

Raining without any notice

The sound is loud and light

The sky is not so bright

But it is what it is

The sky might not come clear

Same as me might have some fear

Do not regret what you have done and have not

Life is shorter than you got

Everything passed are nothing

Anything that being  is just a thing

And Future is no real

Even it would appear

You just sit and have a beer

Doesn't matter death…

Here is a wonderful new article on MD, done by Dr. Cynthia Schupak's (the most recent researcher on MD and a great ally of ours) daughter:

I'm sure this article will help get the word out and reach more people who thought they were alone and crazy.
