Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I kinda want to make a blog of my daydreams and maybe some other stuff that goes on in my life, but I don't know if I should use something like blogspot (it's free, I think) or if I should just use this little blog thin here... I'll think about it. In the meantime, I'll probably just use this one to post everything.

--------------------------Ramble warning!------------ I ramble in this.
Okay, a while back I thought I had minor depression, turns out I had glandular fever (by the time I did the blood test it was actually gone, I'd recently had it) and he gave me some sleeping pills, because I had trouble sleeping (that was the main problem), and some zinc, because the insomnia could've been caused by lack of it but they…

So, I know that a girl posted something about "would you watch yourself daydreaming?" not long ago. Well, I would really like to see others daydreaming so I can compare myself to them and see what they do! That would be very interesting to me. I would like to see if anyone else does it very intensley like me. Or similar to me even, because that would be a relief and varify that I am normal. If any of you know of any videos, let me know. I saw some on youtube, but it was a bit…

Hi everyone.
Hope you're all looking forward to xmas, I know I am.
This is the first xmas where I've been able to pin point my daydreaming problem (I mean actually give it a name) and I'm intrigued to see whether I am distracted enough to put it to one side.
So far though, my daydreams have taken on a xmas theme, it's as though I'd rather live xmas in my head, which is a shame. I've been on a few nights out with friends for xmas too and noticed…

I don't really understand exactly how the Yahoo! Groups work, but I get emails from the MD one I joined, and one person had this really good little idea I think I'll try.
This is what they said:
"Not sure if anyone else does this but to help me get my school work done i make up plots that involve that work. When i was younger i hated cleaning my room so i would pretend i was a maid in this foreign castle or i would pretend i just bought this run down shop and needed…

When I daydream I dont stare into space or at a wall. Never. But I have all the other symptoms. Just curious to see if anyone else does it without dazing off.

It was worse when I was younger because I didn't hide as much when I daydreamed. I also didn't control as how often I went into my own little worlds. I started around age 6. I remember doing it on the playground. I would hold my hands in a certain tight kind of way if I didn't have an object. I played alone. I was shy.
I remember my mom getting mad at me one day and asked if I was cold and why my arms were twisted upon my chest with my hands enclosed. I was really embarrased. I…

First, I want to say thank you for all your supportive comments. I have looked at daydreaming as something to get rid of for over thirty years. I have never considered it as something to manage. I thought of it as a neutral activity, like vacuuming. Now that I have changed directions and am looking at it from a different perspective, I realize I have feelings involved. For one thing daydreaming makes me feel safe and secure. Secondly, when I move away from it, I have feelings of…

OK, maybe this should be a discussion on the forum, I'm never really sure of where to post things :P
Anyway, I just Googled 'I'm tired should I drink coffee', which I know is weird, but I was bored, so I typed in something random. I think that's how I found this site. I clicked on a link, which then led me to a website telling me about DSPS, or delayed sleep phase syndrome.
I've recently developed a habit of keeping myself up late for no good reason, which I then regret in the…

I know this is an odd post, but I was wondering if anyone has had contact with Jennifer recently. Her last post was about having an incident where she bit her arm during a daydream. She was concerned about it. Next thing I know she hasn't posted (she ususally does it frequently) in a long while and she also disappeared from my friend list. I was just concerned if she was ok. Does anyone have any information on her?

I think I do this because it feels more real to me, Because it's pretty, And I only play in my mind attractive people, Never unattractive people for some reason. I won't talk out loud though. I'm sure some sounds come out and I'm sure my face expressions are strange. But I'm 20 years old, So if anyone comes over I have to hide my Barbie. This sounds crazy but my barbie is even a little worned out and has a slightly broken neck from squeezing her.

spent 2.5 hours in the dentist chair getting a temporary crown. Daydreaming made it go by so much faster.

I am new to this site and discussing my daydreaming is something new to me. I figured I would make the most of this opportunity and read, comment, encourage, learn, etc. So I have been reading through different discussions that interest or apply to me and now my anxiety is through the roof and I feel like crying. I feel like I have jumped into the ocean with no floatation device. Ha! My daydreaming is at a minimum right now. Guess anxiety lessens the daydreaming. I don't understand…

so my friends dared me to join an online dating site- so I did.
Firstly, it's really quite overwhelming. I did allow them to choose some people for me to talk with and I kept a few conversations going for awhile.
I know that dating sites are generally not too great of an idea, haha but after awhile it really got to be a bit much. It sounds odd but talking with these people (even online) made me really uncomfortable. For starters, i didn't feel real. Not even over text, it all…

So I have been thinking about how to live with MDD, instead of trying to get rid of it. This has really eased up a lot of the stress I have over this particular part of my life. So, here is what I have come up with so far. 1. My relationship with God comes first. I don't want my daydreaming to run my life instead of God. 2. Real people come before imaginary people. I don't want to lose my grip on the relationships I have in real life. 3. Make sure my responsibilities are taken care…

Here's the story of David, one of my daydream characters. He was Becca's first boyfriend.

Have you ever felt you were born in the wrong time? Seem to relate more to movies or stories from a certain time period. Or is it just feeling you don't quite fit, regardless of why. I have always felt that way. Like you are playing a part while you wait to go back to real life but you are stuck in the play.

My goal in dealing with daydreaming has always been eradication. Quite frankly, though, nothing has worked. Anything I have done to try and stop this has failed miserably. The brief periods where I have put the daydreaming off, did not make it go away. In fact, that usually makes it come back even stronger and makes me hypersensitive to my main triggers and other things that aren't normally triggers, set it off. So, after doing some reading about this whole situation, I have been…
