I live in a world of triggers

Listening to music, not listening to music, driving, watching movies... Right then, I trailed off into a scenario of me replaying an evening at the bar with a couple of friends.. I can't get through a sentence. I don't know what to do (btw, I am relatively happy during the day. I do daydream some but I'm usually so busy at work I can't. It's nighttime when I fall into my holes of sadness and dreaming of who I wish was around or me living some awesome existence instead of on this couch)

Current daydreaming scenario

I posted this in the forum under a thread about current daydreams, but I felt it was necessary to post here because I find it so interesting.

My current daydreaming scenario is a little unconventional, but it intrigued me enough to explore it in real life. Pole dancing! For fitness, not for a living. ;) My main character is actually a male, and though in some ways he represents characteristics I wish I had, I don't consider him an idealized version of me (though my boyfriend tells me…

Playing a game to get SUPERBETTER

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to share, I've been playing a free online game called "Superbetter". It was invented by game designers under the guidance of health specialists to help people improve personal resilience (i.e build up optimism and motivation).

They consist of quick and simple exercises that help increase emotional well-being. It has different "packages" for depression, anxiety, addiction etc. I've been playing it under the depression package, its easy to…

pondering

When does internal dialogue become daydreaming and when does daydreaming become maladaptive daydreaming?

How my daydreams motivate me

I have been there before. Where I'm in a perpetual state of fantasy only to guard me from reality. Most of you are there. Trapped in your minds, living out your daydreams, but feeling isolated and discontent with real life. Others of you are happy you don't have to live in the real world; after all, you created a fantasy world so that you could escape the harsh, cruel world.

I've felt all those things. I still do. I'm not the most introverted person in the world, but I'm definitely no…

I have found somewhere

Hello all. I'm Sandra. I'm 28, single, and I have a young daughter. Over my life I have battled different addictions, when I think I have pinpointed my problem, out seems like it is just an overlying issue of something else. I keep peeling back layers. I recently deserted seeing a counselor for depression/ sex addiction. I don't lose my virginity until I was 21, I made up for a lot of lost time the first couple of years but 'normal people' duo way more than I did. The biggest part of my sex… Continue

I have been daydreaming for as long as i can remember. It started when I was young around the age of 6 and I used to play with dolls and things and watched tv. Later I would act out scenes with my dolls and turned it into my own little drama show.  Later about a few years later I began to imagine I was one of the characters and imagined it in my head. Everything was perfect, any and everything you could ever imagine happened. It felt great! Until I realized I was talking to myself out loud…

Happy living in dual worlds, it IS achievable :)

Hi everyone, I been floating around this site since I signed up a few days ago and it's fascinating to find so many heavy day dreamers like myself. I have seen this site before but only now I decided to engage myself to share. Got to say I enjoy reading your stories and understand all the Maladapative Daydreaming issues completely. Totally on board with you. 

But I noticed that most (not all) the of content posted by members on the site are kind of on the negative spectrum of MD.…

1 year anniversary

On Dec. 10th, it was exactly 365 days from when i was told about MDD, and discovered this community and web site. Ever since my own experience with MDD took a turn for the worse, time has always scared me. At the age of 11, i realized just how fast time goes by, and that theres no stopping it. And as a person gets older, it goes even faster. It was incredibly overwelming knowing this at such a young age. An age when a child is suppose to be having fun, and being carefree.

2013…

Feeling lost, any advice?

I haven't posted anything on this site for over a year but do still visit regularly. I have good days and bad days but am today is definitely a bad day. I cannot stop thinking about this condition that I have and how much it has hindered most aspects of my life. I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality and have no one to talk to. I have a 3 year old daughter and often think she would be better off living with her father as I'm constantly stuck in my daydream world and don't think I'm being the… Continue

Who can blame me?

I sit here now on new years eve watching my family unwinding and gearing up for 2014 and It feels like I'm watching a movie play out. A drab movie I'm forced to watch. A plane going down without its pilot being able to take to the controls. It's dawned on me that next year is going to be exactly like last year and this year and so on and so on no matter what aspiring resolutions I make to dramatically turn my life around.

The same music I don't listen to.  The same technology…

Return!

I vanished for a while.  I have since lost that job I absolutely hated and found a part-time job which I don't mind but it certainly doesn't help my student loans and affording health care.  Bleh!



Anyway, I actually came back, in particular, to see if anyone mentioned that "walter Mitty" film since I know we dabbled about it a few months ago.  I would like to see it but I'm not very social so I'll wait for it to come out with Rebox or Netflix and watch it. 



As a general…

What do I do...woe is I

I guess I'm a bit stupid. My life is a ridicules mess. No matter what I do I will never be seen as a normal human being. But I have reasons... Many reasons. I do not like colorful clothing be the cause of my colour blindness. So I wear black and white. My new contact lens pair have now given me the ability to see the colour, red and variations of other colours containing red, but even so I do not so greatly enjoy the colour. It is new to me but is quite scary in people and it is that fear that… Continue

Disclaimer: I posted this in the Box on 'My page'. Its an old post I had done 2 months ago. Now I am merely re-posting it to create space on my page and since its really old and not really urgent anymore.

My mom just landed. This is NOT going to be pretty.She's at the landlady's. For the past 2 days I've been feeling nothing. Sort of stunned,like a zombie. Now I…

Don't want to let go

I've let my daydreaming get worse. In the past few weeks, my relationships have become strained and more stressful. With finals breathing down my neck and various writing clients to write for, I stayed busy, but I was lonely. Thus my daydreaming increased. A lot. What's worse is that I realized it was becoming a problem, but I didn't want to change. I didn't want to stop it.



I can't even make it through a whole day of work, my concentration is such crap. I've lost motivation for…

My very odd daydream content

     I am only 15, and I doubt those of you who don't know me will be able to guess what I spend the majority of my time daydreaming about. Before I could even attempt to tell you about my daydreams, I feel I need to tell you my daydream history.

    The first memories i have of daydreaming involved "playing house", I always wanted to be the dog. Somthing seemed very pleasing to be on all four legs, barking and being playful. 

     Later, I began to daydream about me being able…
