Hi everyone! So the semester just ended like two weeks ago for me so I have a few new classes. One of which is gym, Well I didn't know anyone going into my gym class and I've already made friends with all of the girls (there are only six of us girls in total) and then there's one guy who is a freshman (I'm a sophomore) who smiles at me and is nice. Well, just a little background before I get into this daydream I had... this freshman was on my boyfriend's soccer team and so he knows that I…

Hi everyone, so I am not sure if I have MD, 

    I had some family issues + I was never talkative for the majority of my childhood, so I have always been pretty proud of my imagination b/c it kept me entertained + happy when I needed it the most.  I didn't mind b/c it was my best survival tool. Now, I've moved away from home for school and have lots of really nice people as friends, but daydreams are not helping me. 

   Since I was young, I have this habit of walking +…

hi all,

just discovered I very probably have MD, I just meet all the requirements, the obsessive fantasizing, being a hero, doing grand things for humanity, etc, etc... when I look at it from a distance (in one of those rare moments....) I think my thinking is actually very obsessed with 

a) myself: my desires, frustrations, angers, irriatation

b) the future: always seeing a bright future full of succes, money, stardom , etc, etc

well the thing is, I really have…

I don’t know how to start this but it was going so well in morning, in my day dream. Now at this point there will be so many grammar. I have 7 novel worthy imagination plus hundreds o movie sequel and prequel in my mind with I as a main character. Honestly I didn’t know Maladaptive daydreaming was a thing until I came across this. For my belief this…

New year, new me, right? Yeah no. It'll be the same me most likely. Just yesterday I celebrated my four month anniversary as well as Christmas with my boyfriend, Grady. We've had quite a lot happen in these four months. Is it bad that so much has happened that I can't even remember our first kiss? Anyways, I feel really happy with this relationship because he isn't pressuring me into things or rushing anything. He's the first person I've said "I love you" to in quite some time, and I'm very…

Hey everyone!

Just a quick update!!

G and I are doing well, so I won't really go into our relationship in this entry...

So in this entry, I'm going to focus on two main things; a leadership conference I just recently had and my maladaptive daydreaming.

Okay yes, I know, this is a site for maladaptive daydreaming, but this leadership conference has quite a few things to relate, and mostly to my depression and anxiety which are the two key factors in the evolution…

my daydreaming has decreased a lot lately, and i think i might have an idea why. 

as i've mentioned on here several times before, my daydreaming tends to decrease when i'm in a relationship. my daydreams have a strong romantic element, so my theory is that when i'm getting that romance in real life, my needs are met and i don't feel the need to daydream as much. i'm currently in a new relationship as of last month, and i'm not daydreaming nearly as much as i used to. 

but i…

Yesterday I had another appointment with my Therapist. I've been going to her for my daydreaming for a few months but this session was more disheartening than others. I want to switch therapists but I have no idea who in the area has experience. She has helped me but the feelings of frustration are increasing especially with her saying that she "isn't seeing the effort needed."

During the first few sessions I knew things were going to be difficult. She mentioned in these sessions she…

I am the kind of person that takes personality tests. All the time. Mostly just for fun. Or sometimes to prove something to someone. I am very self aware, largely in part to the fact that I have hundreds of different characters in my head and because my fantasy and reality tend to blur, I've learned to be hyper aware of who I am. I am very confident in knowing myself.

Anyway.

I thought it would be fun to experiment with some of these personality tests. I started…

Hey everyone! I'm back! I started school so I've been very busy lately, with all the schoolwork and field hockey... so I've actually been in a steady relationship with Grady (I believe I mentioned him in a previous post) since August 31st so there's yet another thing to add onto my stress. It's been hard to juggle a social life as well as this academic stuff, and to make things even more complicated, I'm on math team and in another club called Captains Club. This club has already…

I'm broke now. Used to work, made enough$ to pay my house mortgage plus. But now I'm on USA disability for mental illness. Angry. Super anger. My birth father is a pedophile, molested me from the ages 2 -15. My mother allowed it. I'm considering becoming a hitman, whacking pedophiles, ridding the planet of abusers. For cash. 2 pay off my house note

It's been a while since I've posted here, though I've been lurking every now and then. Can you believe I've been using this site for 6 years?

Anyway, I'm now 21 years old, and my daydreaming has almost entirely stopped---I can no longer focus on the world around me, and I DEFINITELY can't focus on daydreams for hours at a time anymore. I still have the desire to return to my daydream world, but it just doesn't happen. I lack the mental energy.

The fogginess in my mind and short…

I just wanted to pour out my thoughts here. It's just that daydreaming really has drained my mental capacity and motivation. Sometimes, when I'm in conversations, my attention span really doesn't cooperate with me no matter how much resistance I put in. When I'm trying to follow instructions, I literally don't remember what each step is right after reading them. The worst part is that I'm trying to get good grades on my last year of high school and it's very difficult to…

Hi everyone, I’m so sorry I have no idea how this website works yet or who’s going to see this but I just wanted to say thank you to you all! I’ve been feeling so isolated and lonely,  but after finding this site with so many people like me it just makes me beyond happy and so relieved- it really has changed my life just from reading a couple of your stories:) thank you so much for existing xx

I am a maladaptive daydreamer, like everyone else on this site.  It's something that I've done most of my life that Ii'm consciously aware of.  I'm not sure why but I think that it started partly as something to do and keep me entertained during boring periods during whatever day to day activities but I think in part it's also a 'coping mechanism' for stressful or unpleasant events and I think that it's also down to my natural 'wiring' that I engaged with and…

Wow, you all probably thought I left permanently or something! It's been nearly a month I guess. A lot of stuff has happened in my life. For the first time ever, I think I have fallen out of love. Things between Sam and me have just gotten a little... distant. He hasn't been communicating with me quite as often, which leads me to ultimately not thinking about him more and more. We just started talking again today. Today, of all days! My post is going to be mainly about the daydreams/dreams…
