Does anyone say the truth about the daydreaming or care about what happen if other people see you daydreaming?

In other words, if see you movement "strange" or "anxious".

Do anyone have problem to read?

My trigger is the music and the video games (but the second is less important) but read a book... really get me anxious.

Is anxiety a common symtom for people who have MD?

I've noticed I’ve had more anxiety than my peers for most of my life.

Do people most people with MD have speech problems in the form of studdering or mispronouncing words?

I've have these speech problems and I believe it has something to do with how inflamed or swollen my tongue is.  I take pills with magnesium and vitamins C-D to relieve the inflammation and it usually helps a lot.  I think the cause is do too stress being caused by  my MD.

Electric Larry Land Found

Oh good God!..... Sweet relief at last. *sighs in surrender*



I finally found that reduction in stress I've been looking for. That little distraction that might ease the massive weight of responsibility  upon my shoulders.

That little "something" that could make me forget life for just awhile, to rejuvenate the senses and center myself.



Ya.... I was pacing circles in my garage, mumbling to myself....whatever.....

 It was only an hour and it worked didn't… Continue

Update on Grendel's situation

This is another non-MD story, so forgive me.  It's just on my mind.

I just looked over my budget, and while things are tight, it looks like I'm still on track to be able to afford Grendel's surgery within a couple of months, if the vet will still let me do a payment plan, and I think they will.  I'm saving slowly.  They gave me 2 amounts, a minimum and a maximum.  I'm saving up for the minimum amount, and then I'm going to ask them to do the maximum on a payment plan.…

daydreaming + social anxiety

i have had BAD social anxiety for almost two years, after finding out that my group of friends secretly hated me because i was annoying. (i'm in high school.)  i only leave the house when i absolutely have to (in the summer, it was only about once a week). when i do leave the house, i don't like to talk because i'm afraid of annoying people, and i can't stop thinking "don't look at me don't look at me" because i hate the way i look. i try my best to avoid social situations, and i have almost…

My Story: From Harmless to an Addiction

For as long as I could remember I've always felt a sadness inside of me. I hated the way I felt and the emotions that I was feeling. From the age of nine I had thoughts about death and suicide. By the age of 10 I had begun to cut myself as a way to cope with what i was feeling. At first it was just experimental, but then i began to enjoy it. As I got older the cutting began to become more serious and so did my emotions. School began to make me feel worse. I felt like an unnoticed human being… Continue

Sorry.....

http://maladaptivedaydreaming.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/sorry/

I’m sorry I haven’t posted or done a radio show, or youtube video for weeks. I am not functioning well right now. I’m in one of those phases where I am so desperate for an answer, for help, for escape from this curse in my mind. That I get depressed and hopeless. Unable to do little more then put one foot in front of the other…

GERD, Endoscopy, Manometry, and 24h PH test

This blog has nothing to do with Maladaptive Daydreaming, but I want it to be out there in case anyone Googles it, like I did, and wants to know about the procedures.  

As many of you on here know, I've been suffering from GERD for many years, and it has gotten to the point where it has become unbearable, and simple over-the-counter Prilosec wasn't working anymore.  I went to the doctor and was prescribed a double dose of Prilosec.  This helped somewhat, but I still had a lot…

Maladaptive Daydreaming and Love Addiction

A year ago I left my husband after only 3 years of being together (dating + marriage) because he was abusive. Before this relationship, I had always thought of myself as a strong and intelligent woman who would have never allowed a man to treat me bad. Ever since, I have been on an inward journey determined to make the most of and learn as much as possible from my experience.

Recently, I've been working through a book, Is It Love Or Is It Addiction?, that has provided much…

Nature vs. Nuture

Hello all,

I know that childhood trauma is highly correlated with incidence of MD. What is your personal experience? Do you think your MD was more-so encouraged by events that took place in your life, or do you feel that you were born with a predisposition to daydream?

My parents fought a lot as I was growing up, but I have other family members who did not turn out like me... so it is a confusing pile to sort!  Thanks!

Major story line fading, a new one coming on strong....

I have DD about a story line for almost a year. I was completely obsessed with it. The characters are real people, but I do not live near the people anymore and never see them and no chance of seeing them ever again. 

Now I have a new story line coming on and it also involves a real person. It's CRAZY or I am one. I find myself not only DD about this person and making up this elaborate story line involving them, but I also find myself being obsessed with this person. I also see this…

I daydream, and how!

Hello, friends. 

Ever since I was young, two activities became my daily "bread and butter", so to speak; walking and daydreaming. Granted, I can walk without daydreaming, and I can certainly daydream without walking. But only when I combine the two does the experience become truly satisfying.

In my mind's eye, I'm strong. I'm proud. I'm clever. And most importantly, I never lose. Everything is always under control. One would probably be right to say that my idealized version is…

Nothing Much

Well, just got back from the head shrinkers office.

Figured out that if I make a list of the things I want to talk to her about, that I can drive home without kicking myself for forgetting things I thought important enough to tell her.

I actually did forget something, but there wouldn't have been enough time to discuss it anyway.

List making should be an essential skill for anyone with attentional issues.

I'd still be chasing my tail if I hadn't of figured it… Continue

Writing Share #1



I am trying to write more when I MD, so at least I get something productive out of it all. Here is a snippet from what I was able to write today:

A small girl of 4 years danced on the edge of reality. As she crossed the stone bridge over Canteur creek, her mind made the wilting poppies brighten to vivid crimson. The shade from the trees scattered light on the creek below and a strong breeze blew from the south, ruffling leaves and muffling the sound of the…

Day 3- How Much Is Too Much?

For anyone, trying to stop MDing or curb it...  the question we ask ourselves is when does DDing  turn into MD.  How much is too much? Should I not DD at all because it could lead to MD?   Can I still DD but try to put limits on it?  Am I capable of putting limits on it or does it become a slippery slope? Should I just avoid my favorite MD scenarios that lead to bingeing where I daydream for hours on end? How do I manage this?   

 Dr. Eli Somér who first proposed the phrase,…

In a parked car. Other stuff, too.

There's this thing I notice I often do- when I've driven somewhere, usually back home, and am in not hurry, I will sit there and DD for a bit. It's not caused any trouble or anything, though I wonder if anyone's noticed that sometimes there's a large time lapse between the car pulling up and the door opening.

A while back, I house-sat for a few days, and I spent a lot of time DDing, and just lazing around, doing jackall, but I did have to drive a few times. One of those times when I…
