I've looked around but alas, no dice.

Does  anyone know of  books that cover MD/CF in whole or part? can be clinical, biography or fiction.

So lately, home hasn't really been a safe place for me. At least it doesn't feel that way. My brother, who raped me when I was 8&9 (he was 12 or 13 ish) is staying here with my family and I for about a month.  I'm 16, so I can't do a lot to get away and out of the house. I don't have my L either. My mom says she understands how I feel, but I know she doesn't. My mom and my dad went ahead and said "Yes you can stay" without even talking to me about if I'd be okay with it or not. It's…

Found a few interesting things on tweeter ScorpioScope. Scary true!

You will never find a #scorpio without secrets

Scorpio will stare into space and daydream for hours…

I realize many talk about their other self(-ves) and I was in too much ...shock to even think of it.  



First off, today being the first day aware of what's going on and how it happens to others, I was going to go out to dinner and do some window shopping with a friend.  It was a nice time, but I knew I was a bit off.  Even as I type this I feel like I'm seeing someone else type it (aka my "alter ego").  It's so strange.  



When I first started really remembering this, I was…

I'm new here and found this via The Experience Project, along with various experiences I commented on.  



This has been going on for a very long time, since age 4? 6?  I really can't say.  But I do remember when it started to take away from my life.  I was 12.  I started high school (we had no junior high, you went to the big school from grades 7-12).  Lots of things at that time were horrific and I began having mood swings and a lot of depression.  Since then I've had lots of other…

I've been trying to think and talk about other things but the dression is getting worse. Maybe if I write about it it will help. Fox was a retired racing greyhound, I adopted him when he was 3yrs old, 9yrs ago. He would have been 12yrs old in December. That is way past the life expectancy of a greyhound, 9 to 11 years is max. He started acting sick and I took him to the vet. He was running a high fever and dehydrated. They kept him but he did not improve. After a few days they did an xray.…

I'm just gonna say a few random things here in no particular order or anything, so no clue how long or unreadable it will be. 

You know what sucks?

This. It's  R18.

I'll be turning 17 just 27 days before that show. I want to go so damn badly, and was prepared to spend money on flights up to Auckland and some expensive hotel…

I was talking with my mom on the phone yesterday, and during my usual, years-in-the-process, ongoing attempt to sound like everything was fine, I burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.  The shocking part was that my mother wasn't surprised.  She was worried about the fact that I was so isolated and stressed.  And she doesn't even know about the MD part.

She's right.  I need to interact with actual human people more.  I'm spending the day with her tomorrow, and then I'm going to…

From time to time over the last 30 years or so I've had fixations on celebrities which has spurred wasteful daydreaming. I have posted to websites or written letters in the past to make the exchange real and concrete. I've told myself to forget about this nonsense. But today in order to curtail some MD, I sent off a sarcastic comment to Dido's Facebook. I told her that her breakout song 'Thank you' was the worst song she ever made, that M&M had a stroke of genius by sending her off the…

I am starting to think that MD might be more common than we think it is, The first person and basically the only person I told about it, also DD's. And recently she told me about a Facebook "like" that said "Like if you make up stories in your head and you're the main character" or something along those lines. It was surprising. On the other hand though, you  can kind of tell when people don't have it. For example I am completely sure that nobody in my family has, especially when I told my…

like 2 weeks ago i was on tumblr going through the "maladaptive daydreaming" tag and someone said "Why isnt there a youtube channel dedicated to md yet". and i replied saying "i would but i have an ugly voice :("

but lately ive actually been thinking about it. i have alot to talk about and there isnt any youtube videos about it exept for cordellias. so i would just vlog about my thoughts and stuff like that, but you have to put up with my ugly voice and awkwardness on camera. if i end up…

Warning … this is kind of dark.  If you’re in a good mood, you may want to skip it.

I received a very nice email from the woman who runs the “Are You Daydreaming Your Life Away” website, after I’d sent her an email thanking her for putting up that site.   She said some things that made me turn around and view the trail I’ve forged in the 43 years of my life.  Maladaptive Daydreaming may sound like a mild disorder, but in my particular case, it has done some serious damage.

She…

I think I have other mental related problems then just MD. but I don't know to explain it, I constantly feel like my mind is on overdrive, I over think and over process everything. My mind feels crowded, like there's no more room in there. I don't know how to explain it. I just feel like my brain is doing too much, and honestly I don't think I can handle it anymore. It's just so frustrating, and in a way painful. 

I listen to blogtalk radio allot. So I searched there for shows talking about MD. None. So I wondered about making one. So the next person who went there would find something. Kind of like Cordella's YouTube videos but no video. It would also be kind of like therapy for me. Because I have no one I can talk to about it. I think I will prerecord it but I would run the chat room live while it played. You can do 30 min slots. Just thinking out loud here. :)

This daydreaming has been something hard and embarrassing for me to talk about. Another online friend told me to Google Maladaptive Daydreaming and I did. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who actually suffers with this. I have depression and anxiety disorder but the MA has been something constant for me throughout my life. The anxiety held me back socially as I was often too scared to go places. I lived with and cared for my mom until she died and then my dad passed away 7 months later. I…

For as long as I can remember, I have lived (mentally) in some kind of fantasy world that mostly involved characters from anime or cartoons. In recent years it has gotten much more complex, consuming and addictive, developing into full blown MD (I didn't realize that there was a name for this until a few years ago). I fantasize about being an imaginary character who is basically who I wish I was in real life. I fantasize about going on fantasy quests and adventures with friends, achieving a…

I started reading cherie curries autoiography and...well ill give you a recap of the first couple chapters.

she goes to a david bowie concert and is so inspired she decides not to care what people think. she doesnt want to be shy and blend in anymore, she wanted to stand out and be who she really was.  she goes to school with red/white/blue hair dressed like david bowie, tells off all the bullies in school, dresses how she wants, and when people make fun of her or say something-she feels…

Hi, I'm new here. Only found out about MD this Tuesday.  I think I might have it.

I mean, I'm sure I've displayed all these symptoms before. Mm, scratch all that I´m almost sure I have it. When I read all of those descriptions I recognized myself in a way that I didn't expect. Maybe it's just that I don't feel it´s so bad to me as it is in others. But then, I've grown up in loving family and I´ve never lived alone, my mother would never let me lay in bed an entire day without speaking…
