Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Hello!
It's been awhile, and I see we have some new members. So, I'll introduce myself once again. :P My name is Jennifer, and I'm 15. I have been struggling with MD ever since I was 7 or 8 years old. >:/ I love to sing, write, and dance. ^^ And I jut wanted to share this song I wrote about my personal condition and struggles with MD, and some other life-time struggles I have gone through. I also want to explain the lyrics to my song in depth, so you know which parts are…

I started to practice yoga nidra, 2 years ago, in my initial days of practice
I still remember the day, after finishing my meditation and went to sleep , next day morning when I woke up I felt that my mind was completely empty, I was feeling so light headed as all my thoughts from has washed away ,never ever had this kind of feeling before, I felt like 1000 singing birds sitting in my brain have fled away, I got up from my bed while taking few…

I haven't updated recently so I figured I would share what I'm currently going through. It's the end of the summer for me, I am moving back on campus in ten days.. and I haven't had a daydream over a couple of minutes in about two weeks. This is weird, really weird because usually by now I would be daydreaming on overdrive while I still can spend entire days to myself. I'm almost scared because when I move back to school I am going to have no choice but to not daydream for a few weeks at…

It makes me depressed when someone watch me doing MDD .because the face expressions are totally different.A lot of time i decided to tell my sis bcz she is the only one in this world who understand me alot but it's very hard for me to tell her.Sometime i feel that i am the most lonely person in this world.I feel that i have no life,no real moments, no real expressions,no real feelings to share with any one and to share with my own self.I feel that i have no life.i…

I would be interested to know if others use maladaptive daydreaming to mask the pain they feel in real life. I don't think I will ever get over this addiction until I get to the source of the pain and heal from it. Below are the pains that I feel:
1. Pain of inadequacy. I had a step-father who was very critical of me when I was growing up. I have not felt that I am good enough. In my DDs, I am an idealized version of myself where I am more than adequate and I am…

hi everyone!
it's been awhile since i've posted on here, so i thought i'd make a blog post, even though i really don't have anything to talk about.
my daydreaming has been pretty much the same since the last time i blogged. i told myself i'd write down some of my daydreams this summer, but that hasn't happened. yesterday, i got bored and decided to edit pictures of celebrities and people that look like my characters together, so i can have something to look at in real life that…

I got a wild hair to do a search on my problem of daydream and involuntary hand movement. I found links on maladaptive daydreaming. yeah a name for it, I identify with all the symptoms just too bad not much research on it. I've done it my whole life, even as a baby. when I day dream I'm gone totally in the movie in my head and I move my hands. I can't see my hands or much anything else. but sometimes the noise of my fingers rubbing together "wakes" me up. Sometimes I even let out a squeek.…
