Hey y'all. Hope everyone has been doing well. This is just gonna be me complaining, explaining and sorting out my thoughts on my daydreaming problems lately. I have no right to complain, some people have it so much harder, and I know this very well, but I have to let it out somewhere. I think that's why my emotions are so strong and powerful, because I never let them out or express them, I just keep them inside and let them grow,…

I read this thing that said the brain is not capable of creating human faces in dreams so all the people in our (asleep) dreams you've seen before. I wonder if this applies to dd's too even though I'm pretty sure all my characters are made up I wonder if they were inspired by real people. 

I want to know what it's like not to be like this, what would you do you do to pass time when your bored?, how would you escape. idk what i would do without it, but lately i've kind of wanted it to stop. I feel so trapped in my imaginary world, I want to be a doctor when I'm older, so to do that i need to get better grades especially in math, so I planned to practice over the summer (thats what I am supposed to be doing right now) but I can't, I can't help it but DD. this morning i woke up…

am i annoying? i feel like i post on here alot. but this is the only place where i dont feel totally weird....

so, i drew one of my characters in a sketchbook one day and i decided to draw it and colour it in adobe illustrator....

now im not the best at illustrator and im not very good at colouring in shadows and highlights (My biggest weakness)

but ok, here it is:…

do you consume this "drug"?

I do ☺☺

My life is not bad, but DD (using my imagination), even if it makes me not being as productive as I'd like to be, makes me relax when I'm stressed and makes me feel good when I'm feeling…

So I have noticed a serious problem over the past two months with me, I am hopelessly addicted to the Internet. I have been spending entire days on my laptop amongst blog sites and social networking sites, and when I am not doing that I am usually daydreaming. So I decided I was going to spend 24 hours without Internet which, for that day actually wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be. But what I did find, which was interesting, was that every time I wanted to do something…

A while back, I posted a blog post about how I often contradict myself, and have opposing/conflicting opinions on so many things. I just found another: Self-discipline/control. I have both good and bad self-discilpine, if that makes sense. I can get myself to do things (usually if I don't think too much about it) that I don't want to do or don't like, or stop myself doing something I really do want to do, but sometimes it's the opposite. I have a few days left in the holidays and have done…

Honestly, I never want my md to go. It's been with me ever since I watched my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

and ever since then i've just developed a whole new world using the characters from that show. In all honesty I've just presumed I have MDD considering most of what Eli Somer, who has presented this theory, has said matches what's been happening to me for a solid 10 years or so.

A friend pointed out to me that I create situations in my imaginary world that…

I have been on this site for a few months now and about a month ago Emilia said I should write a post. My two therapists have been trying to get me to write for quite some time now but I have never been good at saying my thoughts. I read the post about soccer problems so I thought now is the time for me to share a bit about myself.

I have been playing soccer since I was three years old. I was a year and a half before I started…

Dear all,

I was curious to see if there is a correlation between personality types and MD. I have had MD for as long as I can remember. But I am also an INFP- which an introverted idealist. What personality type are you? And are you an introvert or an extrovert? Just wanted to see if there was any correlation

This is my first day trying to blog each day. Ironically enough, I thoroughly enjoy writing and  have tried to blog before. Clearly unsuccessfully in the blogging department. After finding this site though I feel less alone. I feel as if there are people out there who understand what I am going through and can possibly help me to learn how to cope. I am very excited to begin this new chapter, or I should say newest chapter of my life. Yesterday was extremely emotional for me. I had to say…

As a fellow person with MD, I know how vivid the fantasies can be; I also know that some people cope with their struggle through a variety of art mediums. As a project, I was intending to create an online art gallery to exhibit some of it. For anyone who is gifted artistically, and has a voice they would like to share, feel free to share your work with me. So far, this is in the planning stage (I don't know how far I'm going to take it yet), but I'd like to see if anyone is interested in it.…

Probably a day or so ago i actually discovered the term "Maladaptive Daydreaming". When i googled it i was so shocked at how the description matched what i've been going through for about 7 years now. My main trigger is music. I pace in my room every day for hours listening to music and my mind going to another place. Until the other day before i finally talked to my mom about it, i thought that most of my family just assumed that i was dancing to music in my room, but it turns out that my…

Damn. I've been dealing with MD since I was prepubescent and it's only on my 18th july 5th that I learn how my issue is called and that there's a whole community built for it. Despite how disappointed I am by the apparent weakness of my google-fu, more than anything, I am relieved. Worse yet, happy! Happy to have found people I can relate to.

The fact that y'all are all here, talking, sharing your experience, existing and stuff? It makes me happy. So thank you.

I'd like…

Hi everyone, it's been a while. Something weird has happened to me and I have been debating whether or not to post about it. But I think this is important since so many of us are hoping for a cure for MD or at least to know what it's like for it to stop. This has just been my experience and I'm sure someone else may have a totally different story. I don't want to give the impression that it's better to have MD than to be free of it! I am not taking any sort of drug or…

At first glance, I may not seem like a real person. I am. I am oursecretstories. I run the tumblr blog: oursecretstories (http://oursecretstories.tumblr.com/) The purpose of this blog is to create a confidential and anonymous (if you choose) environment for those who wish to talk about the daydreams specifically. You can talk about characters, tendencies, themes, as well as a variety of other things. I've even been collecting songs that…

hi,

I'm new to this site and not really sure how i works yet. I've had md for the past ten years and it seemed to take over my life completly more or less straight away. I thought I was the only person in the world who had this problem. I find that music triggers me to dd. when i first started doing it i felt it was the only way i could keep my sanity and that when things got better in my real life I would be able to just stop. However that was not te case ,ten years down the line i…

I've had romantic daydreams about idealized crushes for years. When I'm in an intense romantic DD, it can feel incredibly real. When I'm lounging around or lying in bed I'll imagine cuddling with an imaginary lover, gazing into each others' eyes, kissing or whispering sweet nothings and it's like I can really feel him there. It's like I can almost physically sense his love for me and mine for him. And those types of DDs leave me wondering, is that what love is supposed to feel like in real…

I apologize if this is personal for a few of you but I was wondering what some of your dating lives are like? This has been on my mind recently because I've been going to a lot of family gatherings and it is always the same thing.. everyone shows up with their significant other at the time, even my cousins that are younger than me. As far as my aunts and uncles/grandparents are aware of I have never been in a relationship.

The thing is, I am almost twenty years old and I have…
