1. when you daydream, do you daydream about yourself and people you know in real life? or do you use characters that you made up, or are based off of celebrities or book/movie/tv show characters?
2. do you have one continuous daydream that you keep adding on to, like a never ending movie in your head? or do you daydream about different scenarios (characters, setting, plot, etc) each time?
3. do you make any motions when you daydream?

First of all, everyone should read and comment on my first blog.

My daydreams are mostly about me as the main character and I just have normal conversations with people. People I know or have met. 

In these conversations, I tell the person or people…

Just found these symptoms on Wikipedia under the "Avoidant Personality Disorder". And I'm just genuinely curious as to how you guys feel about the following characteristics because I feel like I have pretty much all of them. 

• Hypersensitivity to rejection/criticism
• Self-imposed …

sorry i'm spamming with posts, but for those of you who use other people's appearances for their characters in their daydreams, doesn't it just feel really satisfying when you get the appearance just right? or is that just me haha! i've been changing my character's appearance a lot because i can't seem to get him to look how i want. i couldn't find any pictures of people who looked how i wanted him to be, so i took to trying to draw him (photoshop probably would've been easier) and it still…

was just wondering, have any of you watched the film 'Sucker Punch' ? i randomly thought i watch it one day and didn't know what to expect, but after seeing it, i realized how it could relate to md. it's circled around the main character, and shows the power of her mind, and what she can do in a fantasy world. one of the songs in the soundtrack is even called 'Where Is My Mind'. apologies if some of you have watched it and don't really like it.

if theres any other films to do with…

Here, slide closer, dreamy love. Creep your way into my mind until nightmares surround me. 'Till I'm left with no time, and wanting you in my life, you, a concious being, a human soul, one which shares my truths, lies, and sorrows. Drag your smoking limbs and darkened eyes closer, dear. Welcome me and call your world my own, my home, my sanctum, 'till it is I, the creator, left to turn to mist and escape with the moon, as the sun breaths life back over the Earth.

Bored. What…

I'm on a forum that could be getting closed down if enough people don't join, it's for writers.

So I went and saw him this weekend.  I helped wreck his marriage.  We were desperately in love at one point. He left her and I got with and had a child with another douchebag. He was always there for me. Now we are taking a stab at being together. Nobody knows though until we are ready to come out of the closet so to speak. He always accepted me for exactly who I was. I'm not as intensely in love with him as I was. Maybe not even in love. But there is love there. The sleeping around with the…

I write a lot of poetry, and this one is about a particular boy I liked only for his looks. I knew almost from the start that he was  a bit of a 'bad kid'. He does drugs and alcohol now.

I thought that the flowers may bow when you passed,

And the wind  reduced to a cool breeze in the sun;

The flowers are dead, only now…

So I go away to see him and this weekend. My former married guy who is now my boyfriend 3 years after the fact.Sigh. He is as intensely in love with me as he was when he was married. Me? Not so much. I find I don't like men who are in love with me as intensley as I love them, or something... I don't know I've spent so many yearsinside my head, trying to figure myself out, I just don't want to do it anymore. I have 3 ppl to pack for because both my kids are going to their dads too. I had…

Couldn't sleep one night and wrote a couple of Haiku poems. Enjoy my restless mind:

Midnight Snack

Silent is the path

A multitude of options

What to eat tonight?

Sleepless

The tick and the tock

The mockery of thoughts

When sleeping I ought

Real…

Well I had my counselling appointment last night. My counsellor listens really well and tends not to straight-out tell me what she thinks, but just reflects back to me what I've said and helps my thoughts flow. So I can figure things out myself I guess.

I told her of my encounter with Jesus. And she was amazed. She thought she might do a relaxation thing with me, to help me invite Him in. But I already did that myself! She was impressed! (: Anyway, I still believe that He was really…

Please forgive my grammar and spelling punctuation, as I have a lifetime of secrets. I wrote this at 5am this morning and my internet was down so I sent it as soon as i could. It’s just a steady stream of a reaction of finally having HOPE.

 I’m 30 years old. For 30 years I have been escaping into my own head. From a lonely little girl to a lonely adult. I’ve been diagnosed and rediagnosed with mental disorders for years and no one has known, not the expensive child…

My Christian Counsellor asked me if I would inviite Jesus into my DD. My character isn't a christian, or actually, religion just isnt a part of what goes on in my mind when I DD. It's always been my own personal space where I can do what I like and it's safe. I've always thought that if God knew what happens there (and of course He does) He wouldn't like it at all.

But anyway, my homework was to invite Him into a DD. I tried it last night. And I guess it wasn't what I expected.…

Okay, so I've seen a psychotherapist twice now for this, two weeks apart (it's annoying that she only works Thursdays, but ah well.) The first time wasn't really much about daydreaming, mostly to get to know her/her to know me and to see if I'd be eligible for the 6wks free earthquake therapy thing (it got worse the start of year 11. The earthquake was start of y11, so yes, I'm eligible for it, if you're wondering, which you probably don't care.)

The first time, too, she gave me…

So, I told my school psychologist about my daydreaming, (though I don't think I did it justice.) She didn't really understand, but she was really nice about it though, she's quite a nice woman, and she's trying to understand. She tried to get me to explain my scenarios to her, but I couldn't quite do it. I'm meeting her again in five days and she requested that (for both my own sake and so that she can understand better) I draw or print up pictures of people that look similar to my…

Hello Everyone, I can't say how completly relieved I am to finally realise I'm not a crazy freak!  I'm 27 and am totally consumed by md, I have other issues, such as anxeity, generalised social phobia, OCD.  My biggest question is really which controls which??  Do I have anxiety etc because of my md, or do I have md because of the issues???…

Is my depression making my DDs sad? or are my DDs making me depressed? The last couple of days I've been depressed, my DDs are all very negative and sad. I was crying this morning while trying to get ready for work because of the DD I woke up to. Starts as soon as I wake up. Lots of stress at work, and I am feeling overwelmed. I wish I could force my DD to be a happy one to stop the crying and maybe effect my mood, but I can't.
