Done four shows so I guess that's a month. For the first time I had two callers on the last show, it was prerecorded so I couldn't stop it to answer them. But this Saturday I plan to go live so I can. Very frightened at the thought of it. Maybe a total disaster. If so I'll go back to recording it. Maybe it will help with my shyness but I hope there will not be allot of dead air. Hoping for the best.

There are suggested diets for treatment of Schizophrenia, so it may help MD as well. I found some on livestrong.com, I just searched for treating Schizophrenia with diet and found it. My son has Schizophrenia. Their recommendations are:

Reduce sugar, carbohydrate and caffeine intake. This will help your blood sugar stay balanced. Many drugs prescribed to treat schizophrenia can mess with your blood sugar, so avoiding excess stimulants can help keep it at a desired level. A study…

Hey guys! If you have been keeping up with me, you probably know I was posting long blog rants and complain non-stop a while back. I eventually stopped that but still wasn't content.

Anyways well now I just thought I'd tell you guys I'm going to therapy now. My therapist gave me an unofficial diagnosis of social anxiety and depression.  As of right now, I won't be able to see the psychiatrist for about a month. However my therapist didn't want me to suffer for a whole another month so…

Okay, I started tertiary study a couple of weeks ago, and now drive myself out there. It's about a 35min drive.

After a few days, and finally getting used to driving myself, I've started singing out loud, a lot, and loudly, and sometimes even talk out loud to a character who isn't there (and no, I don't delude myself into thinking they're there. I know they're not). I'm kind of scared that if I drive someone somewhere, and we don't talk, I may end up singing out loud or…

Sorry, I know I use this website a lot for un MD related things but I like the fact that I can talk to a range of people and get a wide variety opinions on things, so I might as well use it to my advantages :).

So in 10th grade at my school we have to do something called the personal project, and basically you have to work on a project of your choice for a little over half a year, and it has to produce some sort of outcome or physical result. Some typical projects are…

Um... Hey,

It's been a while since I've been on this site. A lot of you probably don't even know who I am. I'm Lizzie... A few months ago, I spent a lot of time lurking this site. I had just found out that my living nightmare had a name, MD, and reading the blogs and posts of others helped me understand that I was not alone. I wanted to talk to everyone, and post regular blogs and comments. Yet, life got in the way.

A lot has changed for me…

There is no normal. Normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.

I'm reserching for the MD radio show and want to do a show on characters. I would love to have some input from you all on what to discuss about our characters. This is what I have so far as an outline,

Are you in your Daydreams?

Where do your characters come from? TV, movies, books, real life, made up?

Do you think all the characters are some part of your own subconscious?

Has your…

 I know that this take on MDD is nothing new but I was reading a book on alcoholic addiction and I would say that

MDD is pretty close to alcoholism. Meaning that some of us have lost complete control and dwell  24/7 in a DD.

Behind the scenes however, alot of us  are unaware of co-existing depression /anxiety related disorders that fuel MDD.

Willpower could not help us because we are bio- chemically set up to self-medicate through MDD.We NEED to DD or else we get…

i was in writers craft the other day. i was sitting with my friend whom i told my daydream to when we were drunk. i had writers block for my assigment and i said to her "hmm..give me a name"

she says "kelly"

that is one of my main characters name. why would you bring that up. why would you say that name. i dont know, maybe its not a big deal but i feel embarassed for telling her and i told her thay. i mean, she obviously said that name because of my character

its not…

After learning about MD I really started wondering about him having it. He seems to have all the signs. He has never had close friends, all thru school. He is 23 now. Introverted, stays to himself. We talked about it last night and I told him about MD and the symptoms. He says he has always been that way. But it doesn't seem to interfer with his life so much. So maybe his is not as bad. But he has epilepsy and is on meds, so it may help control his MD as well. I wish he had talked to me…

I feel as if I should introduce myself. My name is Luna, I live in the US and I am a teenager.

I started to daydream when I was 9 or 10, and at the time it was harmless. Just something to do on long car rides. But it evolved into something much more than that. It began to consume my life. I began to daydream for hours at a time, and I could no longer focus on anything because of my daydreaming. I drove away all of my friends because of daydreaming, and I started to question…

I can't handle anything lately. I just don't see the point in all of this, I spend everyday struggling to get the most out of everything  I do yet I am constantly disappointed. 

I can't figure out whats wrong. I just can't take it anymore, I'm so depressed, and nobody understands, I don't even understand. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'm just tiered, of everything. 

I'm broadcasting live on the air! Listen in now at http://tobtr.com/s/3723169. #BlogTalkRadio

Well, probably not that tiny... I babble a lot.

Hello everyone.

My name is Sabrina, I'm a 24 year old art student in Texas, and I have just discovered... everything in terms of Maladaptive Daydreaming yesterday morning. I don't understand why I didn't search sooner, but now I'm here.

It all started when I was a child, maybe 5 or 6 years old. I had imaginary friends, began making up stories in my head and would…

Hi folks

I just joined and for a long time I just did not know what was wrong with me.

Then I found out there was a name for my problem after many years.

MDD has worn out its welcome in my book yet it still feels so good. I want to stop

but for what? Real life is terribly bland. I cannot seem to summon up interests

in those around me - I feel like an alien.For a long time I thought that the imaginary world was

better than the real…

ive said ive wanted to write before but i havent gotten around to it. I thought a good way to start was writing out character bios. I know some people on here are writers and im sure writing a character bio for you would be easy, but its so hard for me. Its just weird to write out. it feels embarrassing kind of. if anyone read them i'd die. its taken me 20 minutes just write down the characters first and last name. now im procrastinating by writing a blog on here. I think if i start writing…

My name is Amber, I am 27 years old and I am very very happy to have found this place.

I started day dreaming as a form of escapism when I was very young. I created a world for myself that was safe, kind and nurturing and I created friends for myself that were as real to me as the chair I am sitting on. Don't get me wrong i always knew they were imaginary, I'm not schizophrenic but i needed them. Trauma can take its toll on the mind of a child and they made it easy for me to get…

I am so tired of living in a dream and just exsisting in the physical. I don't want to dream, I don't want to go there, see them. I want to be awake, to enjoy life while I'm here. I try to snap myself out of it, live in the moment. But I look around, look at myself,.... empty.... meaningless exsistance. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed anything.  Anyone looking at me would see a good life, good job, good marriage. I should be happy. Days, years seem to pass faster as I get older. I'm…

It went very well.  I had trouble getting a moment to include it in my session, as we tend to intermingle other things-- my ptsd list rundown, then the job prospect, current little assignments I do weekly.  Finally with 15 minutes left I squeezed it in. 



He knew what I was talking about, said the "maladaptive part" is based on perspective!  He mentioned how almost everyone does it.  But, not everyone continues past childhood or even thinks of it as anything other than a few seconds…
