Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I never really have done this before, telling my thoughts and stuff for people to read but I decided to just do it. I'm feeling really glad that I found a site like this. All this time I thought I was all alone with this sort of problem. I thought there was just something wrong with me.
I started my MD problem when I was about six. At first it was to escape my abusive father but then the reasons kept changing. During my teen years it was to escape the pain of just being a teen. Now…

So I was printing out pieces of a pattern for a baby bib and I was already imagining tracing it out on news print paper. daydreaming on the fabric i'd used when I get a big ol tummy cramp. Really makes me feel like daydreaming and pregnancy not such a good combo, but how to do things I want to do and not day dream is hard.

One famous daydreamer in history was Isaac Newton: "Growing up Isaac barely maintained average grades and often lacked attention in school. Villagers looked upon his daydreaming, habits of reading for hours at a time, and keeping records of his interests as mere eccentricity.."…

Let me introduce myself in the manner of other famous vampires. I’m Lavar, 16 years old, 6 feet, blond hair, and of course blue eyes. My grandfather was a viking, I got his looks. Vampires are out, pretty much because some scientists got a hold of one and tortured him with tests. So of course he escapes and decides to sue them. He took the video tapes of the tests with him so it wasn’t hard to point out which was the inhuman in those. So he won and we have a lot of new laws. Like if…

I went grocery shopping after work on Friday, and an MD storyline kicked in. When I interact with my imaginary friends, I move my mouth like I'm talking with them, but no sound comes out. So as I was moving my cart around the store, I couldn't stop myself -- I was gesturing and moving my mouth, interacting with my characters.
Fortunately, at first, no one noticed. People in public don't really pay attention to what's going on around them anymore. They are all talking on their cell…

ok so, i dont know if i wrote it on here or on tumblr, but I said I wanted to go to toronto on the day of the toronto film festival because kristen stewart was going and i wanted to see her in real life because she looks like one of my characters (i think that sounds lame, but im not obsessed with twilight or anything, she just fits my character really well)
so my friend and i skip school to go to downtown toronto to celebrity stalk (lol we met john goodman ahaha) and we had no luck…

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…

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?

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…
