Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I have almost twenty and i daydreaming all my life . Every day i speaking to myself , in my childhood i made the whole nation of imaginary people and events. My mind is so complicated i think i cant stop daydreaming coz i cant live without that.

I discover concept daydreaming a few days ago and i find this page ,…

I've always had an overactive imagination - to this extent - but didn't realise until recently that this was not the 'norm'.
All throughout my childhood my imagination was encouraged by everyone - my mother, the media, etc - which was great and I loved (and still do) my imagination; I can escape away into it. I never talked about my fake worlds though, not because I was ashamed of it, just felt a bit awkward and like there was no point if everyone did it.
A few years ago I…

So, I told my doctor about my MD and he wants to put me on Ritalin 20mg. I'm still a little spectacle to try a so called "amphetamine" Sounds scary!!! =O Supposibly its suppose to help with my "concentration and attention" since he believes the daydreaming is preventing me from functioning properly in the sense that I tend to zone out a lot, procrastinate, and not focus. …

I found this video and can relate to what this girl is saying. Especially the part about it killing her from the inside and taking over her reality. I think she was very brave for putting this out there.

Hi!
My name is Jennifer, and I'm 15 years old. I've been part of this site since the November of 2012. I have been struggling with MD since about 6/7 years old, and I'm finally going to share my story by posting this poem I wrote about my MD plot. It is basically the entire plot of my daydreams in a nutshell. I plan to make this into a song really soon,…

I just saw "Les Miserables" last night. OMG. I have been like in grieving ever since i saw it. It is so emotional and powerful and yes i cried like 3 times.
I cannot stop listening to Anne Hatheaways "I Dreamed A Dream". Now all my Daydream characters and me are sad and crying and all emotional and depressed, LOL.
This is really a powerful and great film, once in a lifetime movie to see in theaters maybe, but i DO NOT recommend any of us on this site to see…

Hi, I've been reading everyone's blog posts lately and a lot describe feeling alone, or depressed so I just wanted to share with you all this reply about confidence which I found on yahoo answers. I just though it was pretty inspirational.
You are not alone. This IS a confidence issue and you have to realize what confidence IS to overcome your shyness. Confidence sounds HARD, like a mountain, that you need a psychiatrist to help you with. Well it's not. It's just two pretty…

I am a mess. I am stuck in a vicious cycle. I cannot live, I cannot cope, I cannot talk to anyone, I cannot get help.
I stop mding for a couple of weeks but in the real world I am completely depressed, I can't imagine anything that could ever make me smile. I can't remember the last time I smiled a smile that wasn't fake. I can't remember how happiness feels. I can only remember a few months of my life when I was happy, years ago. I convinced myself that md was the reason that…

I know a lot of people on here hate their MD and want to stop DDing, but that isn't something that I'll ever want (not that there is anything wrong with not wanting it). I just feel like I must missing something because I can't want to live in this world like they do. I just don't really feel like this world is worth it. I can't be happy in this world like I can in mine. I can't feel real in this world or present. I can't be happy with other people because I can't connect with them. I feel…

Hi again! I hope the new year started beautifully for all of you :)
I'm making progress in rooting myself to reality, and it's still like a whole new world to me! I keep forgetting rules of the imaginary don't apply here, that everything is changeable and imperfect. However, good things have a way bigger worth in the real world. And I would never change valuable, real feelings for any DD ones! They have a much stronger, richer flavor, that cannot be easily…

An unbreakup happens when one makes a final, hopefully lasting, decision to get over someone they never dated, once and for all. I un-broke up with my crush around six weeks ago and have definitely improved since.
If I were to reduce my feelings for my crush into percentage points, my feelings were at 100% about a year ago, last winter. They fluctuated around 70-90% in the spring, summer and fall and definitely remained an obsession.
Now, I'd say my feelings for my crush are…

I finally realized that my MD is about being a hero and rescuing others in their time of need. But my MD wasn't the cause of it, it was a reflection. In my daydreams, I rescued the one I admired from her boyfriend who broke her heart. In reality, I lived through her problems and was constantly worried about trying to 'fix' her and be her hero like I did in my dreams. I now discovered that I have Co-dependency. In my dreams I COULD be a hero, and be admired for it and be shown gratitude. But…

ok, I've only made 2 entries but I don't feel any better. I read a FB post about MD being a gift. That just brought up some many terrible feelings. A place I had gone to for support, telling me it isn't a problem. There's nothing wrong with you, this is great. Why doesn't it feel great? I did the entry in the CBT diary and got all the postive statments to tell myself. Isn't helping. I felt hopeless, I just wanted to........well. I am sitting at my desk at work, crying, I can't stop. My…

When I am in deep thought I can most definitely see vivid pictures of highly intelligent thoughts. However I am unable to express them into words.
Anyone else?

Be careful what you think, for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful what you say, for your words become your actions.
Be careful what you do, for your actions become your habits.
Be careful what becomes habitual, for your habits become your destiny.
Thanks to EludeMyFantasies, I have finally realized what I've been searching for. MD is a choice just like any other habit. It's just a very thick mist…
