I have been daydreaming ever since I was a kid- different fantacies at different stages in life. Ultimately this impacted my social life, my observation skills, my personality and my studies. I did manage to score good marks, but I alone know how much I struggled to focus. I have discussed this with my family, but no one seemed to take this seriously.

I have often felt alone, felt like I was the only one with this issue. I was surprised to learn that there are so many sailing on this…

For all the 'call me by your name' fans out there; here is a quote from the book - that is also applicable to MD. :)

I lost control over my live. Im daydreaming between 5-8Hours a day. I have to learn for an exam but i cant force myself to learn. I lost years By doing Nohting than daydreaming. No one knows That i am Daydreaming and i cant Tell anybody because i know they will make fun of it.

Hi, this is my first blog post. I joined a while ago but I've been too nervous to use the website.

I wanted to share an experience that I had a couple nights ago that kind of scared me.  I normally listen to music while daydreaming at night, typically very late into the morning (sometimes up until after 6 am). Sometimes I think about very sad things that cause me to stay awake.

I was having one of those *moments*- if that's what I should call it- when I was daydreaming about…

Ever since I was so young, I preferred my fantasies over real individuals and events. I took the way life looked for granted. I hoped to someday meet my ideal boyfriend. Thing is, the kind of friends I sought could never be ideal or perfect. For the past twenty years, I'd stare at a wall or the floor and imaging an ideal life and relationship. Then important matters would pop up, and I'd snap my face awake and realize I'm making it all up. If I took action and made things happen. Not…

I have been daydreaming for a very long time. It wasn't so bad when I was in school because I could throw myself into homework and projects. But once I graduated from college, it got out of control. I imagined right after I graduated, that I would be discovered and nurtured by a mentor and become successful. I didn't know what I wanted to do and I didn't do anything but wait, and daydream and imagined something better would come along. I applied this principle to my relationships and…

I jumped into MD, without analyzing what was actually wrong with me first. It started in the late 90's when I was only 12. I was so young and inexperienced, I wasn't aware of what harm it can do. I'm now informed that I may have Asperger syndrome, but back then I hadn't a clue. I had trouble reading emotions and understanding people's body language; what they meant in their attitudes. I always believed every cloud has a silver lining. I didn't take their hints and comments personally…

Ben genç bir gencim ve hayal kurmayı bırakamıyorum. burada yazılan hikayeler beni çok korkutuyor. geleceğim beni çok endişelendiriyor, bu konuları kız kardeşime açtım ama o hiçbir şey yapmadığı için buraya geliyorum umarım bana yardımcı olur ...

Hey i'm Ava, I'm turning 18 this year and i believe I have been suffering from MaDD for about 6 years but looking back further I can see some early instances that were most likely of a MaDD nature.

MaDD has affected me in a way i've never thought anything could. I think I only truly understood the extent of this illness when I was 13/14 and basically failing school due to not being able to focus for 10 minutes without falling into a daydream. From age 15/16? onwards i have been able…
