I feel that us maladaptive daydreamers have a hard time letting go of any one sided crushes we have than others. Like that person would take over our scenarios very much. It has happened to me when I developed feelings for a girl I had talked quite a bit to, only to find out she was committed to someone else. Sad part is, there were some instances where it seemed like she liked me too and I took it too deep and as you might have guessed, daydreamt an entire life with this person which gave…

This is going to sound annoying. Living in a town for 29 years, all I ever heard by others is that I'm so quiet. They literally couldn't get a word out of me. I was too busy daydreaming in my head to realize how I looked on the outside. I actually never knew it made me look stupid. Non-family can be vigorous that way. I always used MD as a way to escape my frustrations, but it did me more harm that good, so I had to quit. It was the best decision I made. 



What…

I've found this incredible tactic and I'm so excited to share it with all of you!!! I hope it works for you as it works so well for me. I've found it in the past week and every time I feel the urge to get up, put my headphones on, and daydream, or dissociate into a mental video or conversation with myself. Of course,…

Hi peeps!!

I think I found an EDM song from an artist who might have/understand MD!

https://youtu.be/0G7VdSSWY2g

"I get lost in the story
Forgetting my own
From daydream to daydream
Into the unknown."

IMHO it's a great song that captures the sweeping sensation of MD excellently :)

Have any of you ever had a person in mind whose vibe or style you've wanted to emulate so much that you end up integrating that vibe into your MD world self? It can be either a celebrity or just any person in your life, whose cool nature we feel like imitating. For me, recently, I've wanted to have the swagger and the attitude of a Pakistani Singer named Imran Khan whom I listen too quite often. He has this really cool confidence which I've always wanted. Do you have anyone like that?

I spent my whole life looking forward to friends and relationships, and this actually could've happened, if I wasn't living on another planet. When I was a kid, I used to ponder around my room and other parts of the house, imagining situations of how I could meet young people in my area. I'd stand in our shady family office, looking at drawings and poetry, wishing that friends would suddenly pop out of nowhere and say hi. All I had to do was talk to my classmates, get their phone…

This video shows exactly what we do when we MD. Lot of times, my mum and brother have caught me in this stage. Lot of other videos too in this channel about MD. Worth checking it out, y'all.

Hello lovely people! It's so great to meet you all.

I found out I had MD last night, despite having it all my life. I had a very intense reaction as so many things made sense suddenly, but it is also validating because now I know for sure that I'm not making up any of my problems, going "crazy" etc. And I am so grateful to know that I am not alone anymore. 

But I am finding it very difficult dealing with the knowledge that MD is…

I've found this video of a therapist talking about MD! I hope it helps!

Lately I've been falling back into my old habits with MD... I thought I had gotten over it, but the way school has going and the fact that I recently made some OCs that are always on my mind isn't exactly helping... I can't say for sure if it will be as bad as it as before (I can't remember large swathes of the period of time when my MD was at its worst) but I'd rather not return to it at all. I find myself zoning out in class into the new universe in my head, and my grades are suffering…

Hi everyone! There seems to be a new questionnaire and study participation possibility for MD:

Sense of Agency in unusual forms of nocturnal dreaming and daydreaming

When I was doing MD, I thought it was awesome. It lulled me into complacency and I'd spend hours staring away into a fuge, with glowing hopes things will eventually go my way. Unfortunately, it dug me into a deeper hole. Nobody knew my satisfaction as I have, but they didn't understand why my eyes had a distant stare, why I moved funny, didn't talk much and why I almost wasn't ever listening. It clearly proved to them that I was in another world. To myself, I believed I can do…

I tend to be inspired by people from movies and TV series, and often wish I had their lives and personas. I know  for sure that I'm not those characters. I don't have their skill sets, minds, looks and their coolness. I work remotely at home, and it can be very boring, so sometimes I imagine myself as a doctor or computer programmer in a science fiction action film. 



Sometimes when I get out there and do what I like, it's still a challenge, because I'm an extremely quiet…

so mostly in my mds the characters are me or bollywood version of me, and all the people i know. they are just sort of watching everything that is happening. mostly they are people with whom i have recently tackled except my ex of course! like the ones i recently met or the ones i had a conversation with online. things like there...(so let me call these people plus-people, with whom i tackled lately or something happened with them )

and mostly my mds include me winning a football…

I wonder if anyone else with MD struggles with this, too, but sometimes I have trouble finding something to think about. Like how an artist has an art block. Majority of the time I can easily find a story to entertain me, and when I do I'll often spend hours daydreaming just about it, and sometimes I'll even continue it for days or even weeks afterwards. But every now and again I just feel kind of drained where I can't think of anything. I still have this, kinda like an intense urge, to go…

I used to think MD was cool. Kind of like when someone smokes. I was a young kid, and didn't know what harm MD can actually do. I did believe that MD was assuring me that life will get better and adventurous, at that. So I looked forward to experiencing an amazing life. What I didn't realize is that MD was lying to me the whole time. It didn't promise anything of the sort. It was just a sequence of entertaining stories in my head that kept me going. I have noticed while I was doing…
