Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Well hello! :D
My name is Petra and I live in a beatiful country Croatia. To help prevent any confusion Canon is'nt my real last name. Its just the word I saw on my printer and, in lack of any other ideas, wrote down as my last name. I know I'm stupid hahaha. Well, as I mentioned earlier I'm from Croatia and my native language is croatian , so I must warn you on many gramatical errors you will see and you have probably seen. Don't be harsh on me :) I'm only 15 years old and I'm…

There has always been an warrior standing watch over me. To pick me up when I've fallen, set me on the right track, to worry about me, to love me unconditionally. She stood there by my side as a friend but more importantly as my mother. With such a wonderful bubbly personality its hard to believe that this dark, isolated child was hers.
I can remember so many good times with her, driving to the store, spending way too much on a once in a while shopping trip, having her tell me…

Hey guys. So a couple weeks ago I started taking psychiatric medication for the first time. It was technically for my depression and not my daydreaming, but I was hoping it would help both. Sometimes I think that stopping my daydreaming is so hard because my depression (or dysthemia, which is like minor depressive symptoms for long periods of time instead of major episodes or anything like that) makes my real life seem very flat and boring. I find it hard to feel much in real life or have…
ContinueMy understanding is it restores intracellular levels glutathione. I have also heard it wears off after a while. Would anyone know why it would mitigate the effects MD? Does anyone know additional supplements which might enhance the effects of NAC?

Hello! I haven't really posted recently, but I figured it was time to share about my Book.
So, I'm a high school student that's had MD my entire life. No one knows, and no one ever will. For a long time, I didn't know what to do. But in 7th grade I started day dreaming about this scene. I thought it was cool and wrote it down. Now, it's a 200 paged novel that comes out in August.
But it wasn't that simple. Getting myself to really dedicate my time to this took about a year.…

Hello! Okay, so I've recently gotten a Pedometer on my phone. It's just an app that I downloaded because I wanted to know how many steps I took when I was in "MD" mode. I'm always pacing when I day dream, so it was interesting to find out that I take about 2000-3000 steps!!! Isn't that crazy! That burns like 300 calories!
Have any of you guys tried this?

I don't know what to do?I was faring well for the past weeks,my daydreams have been less than before and I was relaxed but then a strong storm disturbs my solace,a fight with my mother.I generally tend to be away from her,my mom is controlling,judging and represents the reality that I tend to escape from . Everytime we've a conflict,I end up be reminded that I am a selfish cold person and merciless towards her,I don't know what happened so I end up hearing things like that.So when your…

Didn't there used to be a link to go to & donate? I can't find it.
hi.
it's been awhile.
sometimes i feel like my daydream story is like one of those lame soap operas that everyone makes fun of. you know, the ones where every episode includes death and trips to the hospital and crimes and unplanned pregnancies and extreme plot twists and stuff like that.
but when a particular set of characters is on your mind half the time you're awake, you tend to run out of realistic things to add to their story.
i'm trying to write down my…

The concept in the film Total Recall where people can implant pleasant memories and have it feel real, hits a lot closer to home for us than it does other viewers. While watching this movie, I asked myself if I was able to do that would I? The answer was yes. Why wouldn't I want false happy memories as oppose to depressing real ones? As I kept watching Total Recall, I started to realize...I already do this. With daydreaming. We are able to do something almost exactly described in a science…

For the first time in my life- I have no real obsessive urge to daydream . I did something very extreme - I went on a vacation by myself , I had to share a room with a room mate (a stranger) and was also forced to interact with a group 24/7 for about 3 weeks.
During this time I was so busy that I hardly had time to DD . When I returned home I also realized that I was actually living a nightmare where I was being tormented by narcissistic family members and that I was…

Now, as a result of daydreaming actual people, or perhaps just from looking out at the "real world" once in a while, I feel as if I miss or am missing out on parts of life. I've kept myself in a box (which contains myself, my computer, and my DDs) and whenever I look out of it, I realize that things happen around me. I'm not sure if I can handle change, or that I have had daydreams so consistent that I dislike real change, or that I dislike real progression of time. I see other people and…

My summer, especially around the middle of July - the middle of August is going to be very busy. I'm kinda not looking forward to it. I think part of my problem is that my work entails me to make sure everybody around me is having fun. And I think as a result, I'm not going to be able to really enjoy my summer.
At least 2 days a week I will be babysitting from 8:00am - 6:30pm. If anybody here has ever babysat before, you should know how rough that time frame is. And I like the kids I…

Hello, my name is Taylor. I'm going to apologize in advance that this may be a long introduction and that it may jump around to different things quickly.
I have probably been daydreaming for most of my life. When I was a kid, it was simple games of "pretend" that I would play by myself quietly, etc. It was usually just characters I made up in their own little worlds.
My daydreams started becoming about myself when I was about 11 or so. I had a crush on someone in my class (I…

I don't know if it's imagination but it seems to helping. I'm noticing less tick movement.
I also use HTP-5, inositol, and hypericin as they are commonly recommended supplements for OCD.

It seems like a very reliable trigger for me. Especially with Red Bulls. How about you?
