its been 21 days and the days feel like their getting longer and it seems harder to get through this ive had moments where i sit there and my mind starts to wonder off but i catch myself i have yet to give in but im struggling i been asking myself what happens if all this isnt worth it in the end and its not what i expect it to be
its hard enough trying to avoid triggers and women im getting tired for awhile i felt strong and in control now most days its a struggle to…
ContinueI saw a guy, liked him and involved him in my daydreams. This has happened many times before. Many guys, girls, villains have come and gone. But his time I developed a crush on this guy and have become emotionally attached to him.
It's weird because he's one of those people who are not related to me at all, never spoken to me. You know, when you're walking on the road there are so many people walking with you. He's one of them who will not even be knowing that I exist.
I can no…

Hi :) I'm fourteen (girl) and I've had MD since I was about 11 (but it could have started earlier),I'm shy and I've been having some pretty bad confidence issues and I've had a tough year. I have only just recently become concerned about this. I'll be constantly weaving fantasy stories in my head with recurring characters and storylines and I'll always be forgetting things or space out in conversations which is really embarrassing. My friends think it's weird that I'm constantly forgetting…
ContinueStrange, but I have caught myself reacting as she does. Like in a situation with my spouse, a simple embrace. I find myself acting as she would, the way I turn my head, posture, body language in general. But he does not react as my character's romantic lead would. This is really a strange feeling. Disappointing in a way. Like I expect him to just fall into character and play out a scene from my…

I escaped!
But is this really the end of the journey? The end of the fight?
No, it isn't. Because being able to control it doesn't mean you can easily adapt to the new lifestyle-the one called "real life". Let's face it, the imaginary world is the place we know well, the place that's most comfortable and easy for us to be. But we know we can have more than that, right guys? :D
By escaping I have gained the ability to stay freely in the real world, for…

I am 17 years old and have been severely depressed the last year. I felt disconnected with everyone and admitted my depression to no one.( don't worry,I recently seeked help for this) I have always daydreamed since I was a kid, it helps me cope with stress. And well, when i isolated myself in depression i made another reality. I have always been able to back off from my daydreams and they have only ever lasted a few moths at a time, but this one has lasted a long time and i've become…

so ive been trying to write my daydream as a book. I keep starting and i get really into it- then i get embarrassed and dont look at it for months, then i start again. My writers craft teacher made us listen to him talk the whole class about how he got a book published and what he went through and it kind of got me motivated to start writing it again. I always thought maybe one dy it could be published if i actually finished it and it turned out well but it looks a lot harder then it looks…

The next radio show is about creative writing and MD's affect. I did my first in person interview today with a writer who has MD. It went pretty well. He was really nervous, even worse then me! Listening to the play back I see that I can't say the word "author" without sounding like a redneck hick. So I'm going to cut that part out before the show.

My name is Rachel and I'm 14. When I was 11, I casually went into a daydream, expecting it to be no different than any other normal daydream I had. It wasn't. I never left that daydream. I was curious to why I was doing this, and why I had never heard of this happening before. I wanted to know what was happening to me. So, I started doing research on mental illnesses when I was 11. I found I had an interest with mental illness, but I didn't find anything I could say I had. After a year, a…

Now I just thought I would quickly update y'all on how my weeks has been so far. I'm no where near dding as much as I use to, just finished writing 50,000 words in a month. Plus I'm going back to my old book worm ways which I stopped doing when I developed my daydream world. I'm so excited, I really am. Plus I'm going to the library this weekend I'll be busy trying to finish the rough draft still and I'm going to try to stop dding as much. I mean I still do some but it is no where…

Hello again. It's been a while.
You remember my imaginary friend, Mary the monkey? The one who I need to unerstand in order to "get the last keys" of the MD labyrinth's exit?
I'll tell you a fairytale I wrote years ago, long before "meeting" Mary. The fairytale of Lupita and her keyholder monkey. (I'll be relatively brief though-it would take days for the exact translation!)

Our story begins with a girl called Lupita.
Lupita lived in a…
