Recently I have been getting into the Myers Briggs test and have been finding some very interesting correlations between types.  I'm an ENFP that has struggled with MDD my whole life.  In descriptions of 'N' vs 'S' there is a common theme that N's are more "imaginative" and tend to day dream.  It makes me wonder if types with strong N's are more likely to develop MDD.  So could everyone post their MBTI type?  I'm really interested if we will have an S types and how their DD differ from the…

I've been lurking here for a long time but never posted. I've been curious about my condition but never thought I could fix it and figured it was too late anyway. I am 60 years old and have had MDD as long as I can remember. It has had a terrible effect on my life, kept me from relationships, career, etc. But I have been resigned to it and that's why I never posted.

I am posting now because something has disrupted my MDD and there is no one else I can turn to except this community. I…

This isn't related to Daydreaming, but it's something weird that happened over the past 3 days.

So, yesterday, at around 8:00 AM, I was going to a nearby park; to jog. On the sidewalk, I saw a frail man; dressed in rags; shivering. The man called out to me and said that he has a fever and asked me to get him some paracetamol. I obliged but at 8:00 AM, the drugstores weren't open. So, I had to get some from my house. I ran to my house and my mom freaked out and told me not to go to the…

Boy, the things that happen when I'm not looking.

Is there any way to cut off the head of this NSFW out-of-place spamfest? Like a report button? I'm asking because I can't seem to find one.

To whoever is behind this annoying spambot: have you no shame? You're actively disrupting the activites of this site with couldn't-be-more-off-topic, repetitive content that nobody wants to see here, and you're flooding the whole place with it.

Dare you come out and justify…

I started a therapy, two months ago, both with a psychiatrist and a psychologist (here, in Argentina, are two separate and distinct professions). Psychiatrist gave me medication, specifically olanzapine, that is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. After two months of medications and therapy my MDD had almost disappeared but I started suffering from extreme depression, anxiety and paranoia (I must say that we are suffering from a terrible insecurity and criminality…

I've been lurking here since my first post over a year ago. A lot has happened since then, and I need to talk about it.

I think my daydreaming might have gotten worse, but maybe it just seems that way because my outer life has become more demanding.

I have three older sisters, and last fall was the first time that they were all away at college. For the most part, I can stay outside of my head when there are other people present. So sharing space with my sisters limited how much…

I have been trying to stop daydreaming for longer than I care to think about. Although I have had some successes, I have had many setbacks and have made but slow progress. But I keep trying despite how impossible it sometimes seems, holding on to fact that every bit of progress I make improves my life and the hope that one day I will be able to stop completely. I know there are others on this site who are also trying to stop daydreaming, and if you are anything like me you have likely…

These guys know their deal.

Once upon a time there was a girl who believed in love. She did all the right things, took the proper precautions and eventually fell in love. This boy ended up breaking her heart so she grew wiser and that much smarter. However, she couldn't manage to completely pull herself from the memory of that boy until she found someone else. He was handsomely stunning, guile, simple yet complex. A beautiful amalgamation of contradicting qualities that only seemed to set him more on fire in her eyes.…

Dear Maladaptive Daydreamers,

I know it's tough.  I've been dealing with Maladaptive Daydreaming for all of my life.  For most of my life, it was in absolute control of me.  I was certain that it would never get better, let alone end, but it has...completely.  

The journey began in 2007...if you can even call that a real beginning, for I was a long way away from even learning what this was, but that is where I began because that is when I found my courage.…

i wasn't even pacing for one minute when i ran into the wall again and broke ANOTHER picture frame... probably the fifth one. i always tell my mom that the pictures randomly fell off the wall and broke, but i think she knows it's my MD. ive told her about it before, but she told me to stop telling her about it because it scares her. that was 5 years ago. i move into my apartment in september... i managed not to break anything in my dorm last year, but i don't know how i'm going to explain it…

Second installment of the backstory of my alternate self, Amara Bouchard:

After arriving in Paris, France, in 1793, Amara met a 30 year old nobleman named Jacques. He was still unmarried and found her very charming and beautiful. After conversing with her at a coffee shop in downtown Paris, he invited to his home to see his library, as she was very fond of reading. Amara lied to him and told him that she was waiting until her family arrived in the city and just needed to stay…

MD Worldwide Map

Hi everyone, the early…

Hello friends. I'm NE of this joint account, although I'm not sure my friend will post anytime soon. I've been suffering from MD for a while now, probably not as long as other people, but long. In fact, I'm not sure how long I've had it, I could have had it my whole life, or perhaps only a few years, I only noticed it as a problem when I was in seventh grade. But enough of my ramblings, onto the story.

~Quick side note, I often will refer to…

So I said I was not going to talk much about my DD, I have to ask a question. I know this should go in the forum, but I am having trouble posting and I HAVE to get this out. 

I am in a relationship with this guy. Is it ok to daydream about us? I am worried that because we are so young we are going to split and my heart will be even more broken because I DD about us. Ok, we are not THAT young, like middle school, but pretty far along the path of teenage years. Will my heart be broken…
