Dreaming going too far

I have enjoyed my dreams, and now I find myself not having the time I would like to  do my dreaming. In the past, my dreams come, I will play them out in my head for awhile, sometimes a couple months, and then I move on. Maybe this one that I am on now will do the same thing, I don't know, it is new.The problem with this dream is, it not only involves real people, but I find myself wondering what if it were to one day become real. There is one person I have been dreaming about now for about…

Recording Maladaptive Daydreams?

I'm just curious if anyone with MD has ever video taped themselves daydreaming. Periodically I set up a camera on a tripod and record myself for about 30 minutes and watch it back. It's trivial, but I learn a lot about how MD may look to an outsider. Watching playback of my behavior helps me realize what I'm doing, how much time I waste doing it and what I could've been doing instead.

Memories and Happiness

I've only seen glimpses of what happiness is, during my life. Those few real memories I have, I cherish so much. Too much actually. I can't seem to let go of the past and move on from them. I'm afraid of them getting further and further away. My daydreams are substitutes for every other memory I have, or emotion I feel. Sometimes I look back on the daydreams I use to have, and I remember how they made me feel. I reminisce about those particular times in my life. I'm realizing now, I have more… Continue

Hello!

I've joined the site today and thought I'd just write an entry with a bit about myself and why I joined. Ever since I can remember I have had an overactive imagination. I first noticed that I was different from everyone else, when at the age of about 11, my friends lost interest in 'make-up' games (where you basically pretend to be different people) but I didn't lose the interest. I would just play them by myself in the playground and would have carried on in secondary school if I wouldn't…

ATTENTION DAYDREAMERS!!!! ATTENTION DAYDREAMERS!!! I HAVE FOUND A GREAT HELP!!!

I am not going to say that I am fully cured, but I have found out a remedy that was a great help in reducing my DD spells!! My biggest problem was always catching myself and then finding productive things to think in its place. But after I took on this habit, it really opened my eyes in how much stronger my mindset is to be in control!! It is not therapy, no pill....something you probably would never even consider in a million years....

JUICING!!!

Now...there are…

Ready to give it up, but...

I've just lost interest in my characters and the worlds I've created. This has been going on for months even. I really am at the point of giving up the daydreaming. In fact, I feel like I can achieve so much more if I give it up, and I really want to just let go.

The only thing is it's become such a habit I'm not sure how to stop. Does that make sense? For me it once started as a coping mechanism has twisted my mind (I guess you can say) to a new type of thinking pattern. Basically my…

OVER ACTIVE BRAIN- BLESSING OR CURSE

i dont know why but whenever i have a question,i usually dont find it in other blogs...so i'm gonna start it........all MDs have an overactive brain...i mean we are(or is it just me? ) always thinking,daydreaming,imagining scenes/stories,making plans....etc etc. We hardly have a moment of peace when our brain is not super busy...i want to know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.my mom told me that when she was a student,she could solve equations and remember huge answers in her brain...she… Continue

Wow its been decades..I finally have a name for this.

I have suffered from this since at least early teens.Possibly longer.I had an overactive imagination as a child and would act out movies after watching them.My mother thought it odd and would tell me to stop and that I was being silly so i would hide this activity.maybe why it became MD??? Could this be a reason?? So it has continued on into my 40's.Althought it has changed and became less of a time consuming thing.Maybe because as we age we have less to fantasize about?I do notice it can be…

What do you think of socializing as a form of therapy?

I think socializing is the opposite of daydreaming as it forces you to to be in the present moment instead of being in some kind of fantasyland. Do you think being forced to socialize for 12 hours a day 7 days a week 4 weeks in a month would establish a habit of not day dreaming? How about reading a novel out loud for that period of time instead?

1st Therapy visit was for the birds- tried to explain MD

Hello all! Well I attempted to explain to my therapist what MD is an that it is a legit disorder that many people suffer with and that it is being researched by doctors. And her response= that's not a real diagnosis, its not real. I wasn't happy with that, she should have listened to me more before she jumped down my throat. The only reason Im even going to therapy is because I need medication for mood swings and insomnia. But I have a question for you guys: whenever your daydreaming do you… Continue

What is wrong with me?!

I don't feel like myself. Honestly, I'm not sure who I am anymore, but it can't be this.



I get irritated over the smallest things, and then the pressure builds and I feel volatile, like a bomb about to go off. I want to shout, scream, and break something. I never let it all out, though. I'm able to keep it to huffing and puffing, emitting steam, and fidgeting, but I can't get myself to calm down. The sounds of people talking, moving around, and the vibrations as they walk irritate me… Continue

Wild Minds Network: Helping or Hindering?

Hey all my fellow DDers: Does this site help or hinder?  I am conflicted.  I want to stop but, not really.  I hate missing life and feeling unfulfilled, yet I love the escape of real life dding gives me. 

Such conflicting emotions: guilt, confusion and frustration.  I feel like my life is never really one way or the other.  Just a jumble of ups and downs. 

DDing has become some sort of therapy for when everything that is "real" is out of control, it is the one thing I can…

Brainwave Entrainment therapy

Hi people, i just wanted to know how you felt about the idea of using Neural Programming as therapy for MD.  I've been doing online research and have found out that beta sound waves are supposed to help with OCD.  So recently i've been listing to beta wave sound tracks by my wireless bluetooth headset throughout my day to day life and it seems to be helping.  I've heard a lot about how music often triggers MD in a lot of us so by that logic maybe it can un-trigger(lack of a better word) MD…

Just checking in.

          Just a short diary sort of thing, again, in the hopes that it'll de-stress me, so you'll probably find it quite boring.

          So, I went to bed at 11AM this morning; woke at 3PM to the door; wasn't for me; wasn't even the right door he was knocking in. So, I enthusiastically acknowledged his mistake and apologised for the fact I couldn't help him whilst refraining from punching him in the face for his mistake in waking me. Great start to the day.

          Layed…

Excerpt and Drawing

Here's an except from our book and a concept drawing done by Gethin.

I remember the day I pulled on my first Canaan kit. It was number 47, Alain Plante. It still fit Gabe, he just felt bad for me and figured it would cheer me up. It was the most perfect shade of purple I had ever seen. A deep royal colour accented with two golden yellow stripes striking through the chest. The number and Plante’s name were a crisp white on the back. It looked like it had never been worn before,…

Councilor suggested seeing a hypnotist

Anyone ever do that? He said it may help to "tell" the subconcious to not be so intrusive.

The Curse of Being an Addict

This is just an old poem I wrote a while back last year. It's not very good, but feedback would still be nice.

Bubbling, unrealistic, desires,

so inseparable we need pliers.

Hone you're so venomous

it leaves blessedness.

A secret I won't tell

how these actions impel,

because I've become an addict

to the pain you inflict.

I hear your whispering  call

and fight my inner brawl

to your…
