Maladaptive Daydreaming and Cluttered House

 I am finding that when I go on a MD binge that I don't take care of the house like I should. Dishes pile up. Piles of dirty clothes. Not picking up after myself.  Then, I come off my binge and then try to detox my house.

Written at 3 am in January

It’s a rare night.

Sleepless. Slightly haunted. In a good way though.

Feeling the memories of past nights reverberate in my bones.

My skin remembers what my head does not.

Things that other people said to me echo in my brain like I just heard it yesterday

But it has been so much longer than that.

Everything feels so far away.

I’m behind a veil.

I’m looking sideways.

I feel a thousand things that I said before on my lips tonight again.

I’m aching…

On imaginary girlfriends

There's a girl I've been seeing for a long time. She changes, evolves. I meet her different places, we have different first dates. 

Sometimes we bump into each other at a convenience store, sometimes she's a new employee at clients business I work with. She's just like me, she likes the same things I do. She understands me, supports me. We talk about stuff I like to talk about. Supercomputers, video games, she has it all.

I've come to realize that just about…

On, well- everything (that has to do with MD)

I'm sixteen, and ever since I was little I had been airy and up in the clouds as described by others. In kindergarten, the biggest concern was me daydreaming. It had resulted in me failing to recite the alphabet in French. Regardless, I have a terrible inclination to daydream and bed rock whilst doing so. There are several characters I play around with, or a much better version of myself (with a different personality). Which could be explained by the contradicting expectations of my father. I… Continue

Thoughts

I need some thoughts on this situation that a friend of my friend is going through.She is unhappy and hurts everyone both intentionally and unintentionally and does not know what she wants. she has no friends, only "friends" for the sake of hell as she described. Is it okay to hurt others to be yourself? even if you dont know who you are?

Validation, Emotional Attachment, and Daydreams

I didn't receive the type of validation and attention that children should receive. I don't think many of us did.  It caused me in my teens and early 20s to struggle for an acceptance and validation that cannot be found outside of one's parents. I think it's an issue many people struggle with, whether or not they have daydreams. 

What makes it interesting enough for me to post about it though is how these issues are affecting my daydreams. My assistant manager at my job is, in short,…

The easy way out

It seems no matter what I do what I say what I try no one ever cares about me. And even when my mind is lost within all the usual train of thoughts, my main love is to find myself dead. Because no one's there to save me I just die alone and hopeless with out I strand of hope or a person there to mourn me. That is usually the case in such thoughts. Even now more than ever all I want is to no longer exist to have no more interaction. I feel so hated every single day of my life I can't bare to be.… Continue

Interview with my main character, Alex Stone

I posted this in the Famous Project thread that escarei started, but I thought I would share here separately, for those who aren't following that post.

I got into character as Alex and conducted my own real interview. It was a lot of fun! I hope more of you make videos like this, even if you just give us the raw, uncut footage. It would be really interesting to me!…

How do you cope with maladaptive daydreaming?

So here's the thing. I used to love maladaptive daydreaming because it gave me a safer happier world to rely on. But now I realized, I could've had so much more in life if I didn't spend hours and hours daydreaming. If I'm not listening to music and pacing in the room, I'm zoning out during study time and engaging in scene playing in my head. Either that or I allow myself to sleep for a period of thirty minutes just so I could engage in some sort of fantasy in my head which then turns into 2…

hopefully a new begining

Hello everyone. I am so glad to have found this site. I am a 50 year old woman who for most of my life thought I was insane because I could not get these voices in my head to go away.  I was convinced that I was schizophrenic because I could not get the noise to stop no matter how much I prayed, begged or medicated myself I think I have been on every anti depressant there is. Of course I was depressed because there was so much I wanted to do but could not because I could not focus. I have…

My MD

I daydream excessive because of life. It became hard and I need a release. When there are too much to bear and too much to feel I turn them into stories in my head so that the burden may be lighter.

 

I am not like some people that say they feel alone in a group of friends, but I understand their feeling. I can sympathy with them—the feeling of being an outsider in group where people know each other. I can understand how my MD developed. I was lonely and hurt. I was afraid and…

MD, "Real Life" & Cheeseburgers

I've had it. I'm completely at my wits end with all the nonsense. Here's the deal. I have had it with all the people blaming MD for ruining their lives. Regardless of popular belief, MD is NOT uncontrollable and if we ever want to be taken seriously about it we have to be very careful of how 'normal' people understand and perceive it, because I personally don't want society to learn incorrect or blown out of proportion ideas and assumptions about it ,then have myself prescribed on the next…

I told someone about my MD and here are the results:

I told one of the guys in my college class about my MD. Before I told him, I had to watch how he reacted to similar things and he reacted just fine. When I told him, he was very supporting and even recommended me to his teacher/ therapist. I really wanted someone professional to talk to so tomorrow me and his teacher/therapist are going to talk about my MD.

Before you talk to anyone close about your MD, watch them react to different types of situations before even considering…

Hi. I'm new.

I don't know how to put my thoughts into writing yet about whats going on with me yet. . But as recent as yesterday i realized i might have MD. It's the answer to my deranged puzzle.

I was diagnoised with Bipolar Disorder and GAD-generalized anxiety disorder in 2011. Thats when i started questioning it. And could not find rhe right… Continue

Crap.

Maladaptive Daydreaming and Being Injured

I injured myself yesterday during gym class. I dislocated my knee. It popped back in right away, but in the process of popping out and then in I probably injured a ligament. This has happened before, but the doctor thinks that this time I probably injured a different ligament and might have chipped my bone. I had to go home early and go to the hospital. Today during school it was actually hard for me to daydream. Probably because adapting to being on crutches takes a lot of attention. I got an… Continue
