Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
So, I know from my own experience of daydreaming, that just a few of us are going to be carrying a few extra lbs, because, hey, our bodies are simply a vessel to continue our day dreams in, so why should we care? Ive gained like loads of weight being trapped in those day long daydreams where you dont do anything. I own a Tv but ive never bothered to work out how to use it, because i just stare at a wall most of the time. Or the TV when its off (the irony!) . Like when Im in the gym, I'm too…

Oh boy, where to begin...
Well I suppose I'll start with the basics.
I'm Silverfish if you haven't guessed. Silverfishes are these odd little insects that are very cute. I'm an alright person, my favorite color is yellow or green, and I like to read. I'm here like many others are here, seeking out answers or at the very least a community where I can perhaps find answers. I, however, am here for a somewhat bizarre reason. I'm here to see if I can…

Dear wild minders,
while surfing the internet i found this thing called Visualization and decided to share it with everyone.
Visualization is a type of meditation which people do to get in contact with their subconscious mind to get what they want in life .They spend a long time visualizing things they want in life very vividly , similar to a maladaptive daydreamer .
You can watch this video where a man is telling people how to visualize to programme the…

Hi guys!
So, I'm writing this quite late in the night and I am unable to sleep. I am an insomniac and it suprises me everyday how well i am able to cope on such little sleep. When I explained MD to my partner he suggested that continuous day dreaming and insomnia may somehow be linked? Whats your opinion on this? I am riddled and plagued by MD at the moment, I think for any addict we suffer phases where we feel we cannot cope, that there is a whirlwind that has taken over our…

MD has both ruined parts of my life and made others infinitely amazing. Because I have daydreams, as well as go to an online school, I've pretty much ostracized myself and am left with one friend I see every-so-often, and a few oldies that I chat with online sometimes. I haven't made a new "friend" in over a year, considering that I talk to so many people online. I hear people say "Go outside and make new friends!" Yeah, that would be great, if it weren't for the fact that I can hardly walk…

Hi:
I have lived with MDD for thirty years now, off and on. It started with traumatic events as a teenager and I just wanted a safe place. And I found it. For years it was my only safe place, well before it even had a name.
But, like any addictive behavior, it took over. The root of the word "addiction" is from "giving over" and I gave my life over to daydreaming and while like any addiction it seemed like a cure for my ills, over time I realized the following…

It's been probably at least a year that I've been logged in. I have been struggling so bad with life lately. I have three teenage children, who I solely am responsible for, and I can't keep a job for the life of me. Over the last two years I've quit 6 jobs within the first few weeks due to anxiety, and the want to stay home and daydream. I have also been diagnosed with agoraphobia by my PCP, with panic disorder as well. I don't know if anxiety, and MD goes hand in hand, but both have been…

Ive had this blog for a few years and i jsut kinda write my thoughts and personal stuff…
NOTE: This is more of a personal thing for me, its no analysis of MD or anything.
So lately I've been yearning to put my MD towards a good creative use, and to find an outlet to express myself. And as a side note, some people say that one of the things that produces MD is the inability to express oneself in his/her environment.
And for the longest time I've wanted to write: fiction,…

I was just going through my profile and noticed it’s already been a year since I signed up.
The first post on my page says: Alison is now a member of Wild Minds Network Feb 27, 2015 Welcome Them!
So, I’m only a week late :D
I must say during this year WM became my second home. So many times I turned to…
ContinueToday is a thousand days since I first decided to stop thinking and dreaming, and put my ideas, ideals and goals into action.
My intention was to reach a point when I would look back and see a history of accomplishments and finished works, instead of the constant stream of disappointments and half-a**ed tasks that had been a constant for years.
As some of you know, that is not the case.
Many things happened in these 1000 days. I learned new stuff, about the…
