Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
For the first 5 1/2 months of this year, I had stayed in a behavioral facility (not for MD, though I don't want to share the personal details of the reasons why I was there). I just got back home last week. While I was there, I was forced to share an entire living space with several other girls. Think of military barracks. There was one room with bunk beds lining the entirety of one wall. We were supervised constantly. About 17 weeks into the program, a few of us (ones with the best…
ContinueSo I'm really just here for some support and understanding. Having MD is such an isolating thing on its own but combine that with the fact that nobody understands what I'm going through when I try to explain it to them, makes it even worse.
But basically Maladaptive Daydreaming became a problem for me 10 years ago, and it took everything from me. My confidence, work ethic, personality, social skills, till I got to the point where no one wanted to be around me because I was a…

Hello!
I found this network about 2 years ago now. And instantly I felt like I had this. Though I not one to self diagnose so after a lot of research I decided I wanted to talk to a professional about this. I was and still am extremely embarrassed of this but after about 6 months of having told someone I think others may be able to benefit as I have after speaking to a phycologist and having had therapy done.

Well I am a 20 year old boy preparing for a very tough exam . And the life feels shit. I m gonna be a more regular user here. I would love to talk to anyone.
Desde os meus seis anos de idade, que sonho acordada, hoje eu tenho 43 anos de idade. Realmente eu não podia imaginar que existia tanta gente como eu, eu chego ficar espantada de relatos muitas vezes semelhantes aos meus devaneios. Mas somente agora com 43 anos, que percebi que tinha alguma coisa errada comigo, pois tudo que planejei não aconteceu, eu não consegui concluir. Não fiz a faculdade de psicologia que eu desejei, não construí uma família, não tenho ainda o meu carro, que tanto…

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT MY WILD FANTASIES ARE NOT NORMAL COMPARED TO OTHER PEOPLE I HEARED ABOUT MD ONLY ABOUT THE LAST WEEK
BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ IT IS ALMOST A DISORDER THAT PROTECTS ME FROM ANOTHER MENTAL ILLNESS
AS FAR AS I REMEBER I HAVE BEEN DAY DREAMING I CAN NOT REMEMBER A PHASE OF MY LIFE WITHOUT DAY DREAMING BEING A PART OF IT
I KNOW THAT I NEED TO GET RID OF THIS HABIT OR AT LEAST MINIMIZE IT AS IT AFFECTS MY LIFE NEGATIVLY
SO I HAVE LOTS OF QUISTIONS…

Hey, everyone. It's been a while since I was active here. So I wanted to share what's going on, and also to know what's new with you guys too. I got work as a Marketing/Business Development Associate for this educational company named CareerLabs. And the work is hectic. I'm out in the field from anywhere between 2 hours to almost 8 hours, connecting with officials in colleges to get events organized for the company. So my work is hectic and I barely have any time to relax, unlike before. I'm…

I am in front of the computer trying to start a work assignment and a college activity and I just CANNOT get it done. I am feeling so agitated, I feel like daydreaming but I can't concentrate, and my brain is completely confused, like I can't understand what I am supposed to do, they are simple things but I just can't get it into my head. Have you ever felt this way?

Hello everyone and thanks for sharing your experiences :) ... I'm so happy that I found this blog...but I don't what to say to start, so I will say what comes to my mind... like right now I'm worried because I feel like there's an audience watching me and listening to me what I'm saying out loud (in my head) as I am writing these words... I have a long story with mental issues... I'm 22 now and I'm suffering from anxiety and depression since middle school...after that it all went worse and…

This is my first post in a long time. Decided to go back into therapy for MD, as the daydreaming has been getting a little overwhelming...multiple emotional breakdowns in the past few months. My "intake" appointment with the psychologist went somewhat unexpectedly in that she has no idea where to send me. She says I don't have depression or anxiety, and they've never had anyone that she knows of with a case of maladaptive daydreaming.
Recent research out of Eli Somer's lab shows it…
