Whenever I want to express how I feel about my life situations, I discuss them with imaginary friends, because they actually listen to me without getting snarky. I find that real people don't understand my form of language or they're like "Then, do something something about it." Actually, real people wonder why I've gotten into that situation in the first place, or they can clearly see what's evident, snip at me what's going to happen and what I better do in future. It's as if in…

I don't know how you guys do it! I try everything to conceal my day dreaming. I will put on startled, worried, wary or perplexed expressions to hide it. I'll even move my eyes around and bite my lips. People will still look right at my eyes and maybe even into them! I guess, they still wonder what goes on in my head. If I make a slip up at home and even work, people will think, 'is she wondering?'

Are you yet whining in the works for the Windows Media Player that has shown the call a halt to of Windows 10 OS? Or when than later than again pissed off that Windows Media center is no longer part of Windows? Don't be vexed, because the depth 5 set at an at a floating dissolve media players for Windows 10 is here. It's the high period to divulge an all deviant. Although Media Player is yet running in a description to Windows 10 and is however to hand to download from Microsoft you never…

I've never moved out in my whole life. And I mean, on my independent own. I've have honestly never left home. I don't know if I should blame it on my maladaptive day dreaming. Has anybody had this problem? I'm 32 years old and have lived in the same house for 26 years! I didn't do too well in school and had countless jobs. It's just, maybe my DD interfered with things too much.

Hey all!

I haven't been having maladaptive daydreams in a few days, but I just experienced one today. The guy I'm currently seeing is going to be away all week camping with his scout troop. He actually didn't tell me when he was coming back, just gave me a general "a few days" and "a week or so" and said he wanted to surprise me, which is making me worry more about him being gone. Sam couldn't bring his phone with him where he's going, so I can't even be in contact with him. He left…

Hey everyone!

I'm new here, so let me introduce myself!

I'm Hannah, a high-schooler currently residing in the great state of Maine. I am in the top tenth percentile of my grade at my high school and I am the only girl to be taking two college-level classes (AP Calculus and AP Stats) at the sophomore level of high school. I am extremely shy, but I was lucky enough to attract a great guy and I am happy with my life at the moment, but I have struggled with stress, anxiety, and…

Has anyone's brain power got better or worse since they started maladaptive day dreaming?

I notice my cognition needs vase amount of improvement and is slower in comparison to my teens. I'm only in 30's, though it isn't as fast and strong as it once was.

Has MDD effected your life to an extent it doesn't look as great as you planned? I expected to be independent by 25 or 30 and take on a job in a company, even do some traveling. Apparently, all my goals backfired, and I ended up living with parents and working in a job I don't care about. Also, I couldn't afford to go anywhere for years, and still can't today.

I wanted to take it on the economy and everyone's views on millennials. Though, I'm pretty sure everything didn't work…

Since I was a preteen, I was complacent that I would see a bright future ahead of me. Well MDD prompted me to look forward to exciting things to come, such as seeing guys, traveling and a career that I like doing. My parents brought me up to feel 'special' and treated me to all sorts of trips, day camps, vacations, movies, Broadways and eat-outs. So, I believed that I would grow up having a really wonderful time just the same. Apparently, real life got the better of me and proved me…

Having one of those days..

If only you were real. If only I could turn around and talk to you in reality the way I do in my dreams. I feel as though this must exist, somewhere this person, this relationship, this world exists, but that it’s just out of reach. The feelings, the emotions, are so strong, so real. I have to believe in a world where this exists or what else is there.

The frustration is building: I can see you, hear you, smell you, feel you, but I can’t…

Here's my problem, I really just want to know if anybody has suggestions to help because my Maladaptive daydreaming is just getting to the stage where it is making me feel like i'm crazy (which i know i'm not). Okay for a little backstory just incase it helps at all, I started Maladaptive daydreaming about 4 and a half years ago and until about a year ago i saw nothing wrong with it. Because why would you stop something that made you happy right? but then it started affecting my grades…

Has anybody been caught doing MD and their company became embarrassing, even angry, in a real overbearing way?

This could've been at school, work, home or anywhere in public. Were their reactions so tense that it made you be extra careful in future? How did you deal with it? I've worked at home for months, so I sometimes fear if I showed my face to a big crowd, hopefully they won't notice my dazed eyes, short attention span and lousy memory. Strangers have especially noticed…

Hi my name is Ozzy and I have Maladaptive Daydreaming it started when I was like 4 or 5 years old it gets in the way of my life especially school and trying to study for things but I recently found a pill called Adderall it helps with foucusing,concentration and memory I think it will help with MD

Can anyone mute or ban the User called Shiblu Khan? He just make televison for some sport games, guess he is wrong here...  And 300 posts alone in March are a bit to much... 

Btw sorry for Bad englisch... 

Thanks

Hi everyone:

As a child my MD so greatly affected my concentration, short-term memory and learning ability. This was so bad that they had to take out of school!

This was mid 1960's (yes, I'm an old-timer lol) so ADHD was not even heard of (at least in my community!).

The teachers and my parents just thought I had very poor intelligence.

I stopped MD for some reason as I got older, and my problems greatly improved!

However about 5 or 6 years ago I…

Since the day i could sit up in my crib i've been body rocking. So since about 6 months old. As i grew up I was real awkward had very few friends and i blamed it on my body rocking. I sway back and fourth normally while sitting but can happen while standing. To make this clear, its not just when i'm day dreaming, it is constant. As i got older and my family moved away i made friends easier. Day dreams were always constant for me, id dream about big expensive meals (came from a poor family)…

I was walking across a parking lot with my baby sister today. I can't quite remember what I was daydreaming about, but before I knew it, she looked over at me, held her eyebrows together, and asked, "why are you smiling?" followed by a smile for herself. She wanted in on the joke. I suddenly felt the cold air on my body, along with the snow-water and reality leaking into my shoes, before looking away and saying "I saw somebody that I knew." 

It hurt to say that. Because I know that…
