Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Here is a back story about me. I have gained alot of insight reading about the other DD'ers here so maybe this will help someone too. I am nearly 38, female, divorced, no kids.
I am new to this site so I hope I'm posting properly. I am meaning for this to be a blog post to introduce myself to people who want to get to know me, I'm sorry if it goes out to everyone as a blanket post.
I have been daydreaming ever since I can remember a conscious thought. I was not abused as a…

This is just a little bit about me, besides probably having MDD, I have been diagnosed with schitzophrena, bipolar and mania. I have the problem of day dreaming all the time. I usually pace around, although I don't usually listen to music. I go on auto pilot all the time, when I'm driving or doing stuff I've done before and requires little to no thought. I usually snap out of my day dreams when I done with the task, or in the case of driving when I come to a point I need to stop, like red…

"I'm so busy doing nothing, I've got nothing to show"
- Middle Class Rut - "New Low"
This site has hit the nail on the head for me.
I always knew something wasn't right,
but couldn't figure exactly what was wrong.
And now I understand why.
It gets to that point where I am so accustomed to these 'day dreams'
that I'm hardly aware that they exist, they are what I've always
considered to be normal.
At…

Sort of a mini fantasy involving me being my own car mechanic/electrician or Miss Fix-It-All! It kind of feels nice.
Here's reality:
So yesterday morning my car wouldn't start yet again. It happened before, had it towed to a shop that had it towed to a dealer to enter a security code to reset the stupid security system that disabled the fuel pump. Only dealers have this security code. I'm not paying nearly $300 and going without my car for half a week again! Not…

Oh well..
i just find this site in a journal in the library just 5 minutes ago (time to walk to home! hehe)
i hope to find a lot of (possibly strange:) people with which to compare.
What about me?
I always spent a lot of time daydreaming.
Since I was young,at school, people consider me funny and extravagant.…

HEllo and thank you Cordellia for tmaking ths webste. It is very helpful and it lets me know that I am not alone.
SOO . I just spent the past hour typing away and my computer froze... dont feel like retyping it but it was about : how I found this site, why I dont know why i have MDD (because my childhood was pretty good, besides a fussy mom) and how think it takes over/ruins my life and keeps me from being the best me!
Now I see some people dont mind there…

At least I think so... I was feeling a little better yesterday and even better today. Talking to people has helped. Both the Prosecuting Attorney and a lady from the Resource Center told me that I can still file a report with the police, if anyone else reports that she sexually abused them my report could help their case. Of course its highly possible nothing could come of it. But at least I did something. And the Resource Center is going to have an advocate help me file the report,…

But at least I tried... or so it goes. Why do pedophiles get away with it? Its way past the criminal statute for her to face charges. And because she has purposely kept herself unemployed and has no assets, I can't even file a civil claim against her because it would waste my time and money. She gets to live life free and without consequences for her actions.
Meanwhile on the news in a city south of where I live,…

I swear, I haven't been day-dreaming for almost 2 months. Some little dreams here and there, this is normal, but definitely I'm no longer having drop outs for hours or days. The achiever: I said it, I did it. But I'm still here, writing my blogs, getting rid from demons from the past, definitely attributed to my day-dreaming. Well, I don't know, maybe, if I said it publicly, it will go. Like Roger Water became a happier person after writing very personal The Wall. Maybe. So, up close and…

Over the last couple of days I switched back to one of my other daydream worlds after concentrating on another for quite a few months. The one I've switched back to, I have lots of people around who love me. Family and friends, I'm married and have kids. I have a brother who's married to my best friend. I'm talented and so is everyone around me, all in different ways. Mine and my brother's childhood is tragic, (in some ways mirroring my real life) but we pulled through and are stronger…

I have been daydreaming a lot in the past few days- my old, usual daydreams based on fictional characters and fictional situations. I haven't focused much on these daydreams in the past few months because I have been preoccupied with other things, but some old triggers came up recently, bringing these to the forefront of my mind.
In some ways, it is nice to get back into the good old simple daydreams, where the events and characters have little connection to the things that happen…

Yesterday I decided to just see if there was any info out there on excessive/obsessive daydreaming. I honestly have no idea about what prompted that, curiosity I guess. I have been doing this since I was about 11 years old. In the back of my mind I've always thought it was a bit strange, but I am a creative person (always useed to write, and still do occasionally) and have a very active imagination obviously.
I have done a lot of…
Just ask yourself, would you really be any happier, if your day-dreams came true? Wouldn't you be surprised, lost, embarrased? Wouldn't you ask yourself: what made me so special that I achieved all this without effort? Wouldn't you feel guilty that all the success / eternal love / super adventures / super powers came at once? Wouldn't you feel pressure? How would you handle this? And do you really deserve this? What makes you a better candidate than the others, working in the…

Taking a break from house cleaning to do a blog update. Its been a while so its due. Been too busy at work and not on the computer at home much lately... Here goes.
Dr. C has upped my antidepressant and one of my migraine preventatives. Seems to be helping so far. We'll have to see what happens in the long term. I've noticed that with the antidepressant (Zoloft) that I've not been daydream binging. My daydreaming is a more tolerable amount, that middle balance that I've…

Decided to make a blog post for the hell of it :3
First off, I tend to sometimes take names from real tv shows because I can't think up anything myself. The daydream takes place in the fictional town of Torchwood, Arizona where I work for a large technology company that develops quite mysterious technologies. Also on the outskirts of the town is an Air Force base that (like Area 51 I guess) collects alien technology and tries to use them to develop new weapons. The entire…
ContinueThere's a nice little job lined up for me at my Dad's company.
It's by no means dead-end. I could end up physically crafting the hulls of space ships
The attractive-sounding secretary (Hiring person... HR girl, whatever) sent another email.
"You haven't sent us your application yet. If you don't want the Job be sure to tell me now"…
