“Suffering is justified as soon as it becomes the raw material of beauty.”

Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent van Gogh; two coincidentally rhyming names that will weather history, signed upon the fantastic works of art by the men who bore them. It was…

I just can't fight anymore. I don't want to try. MD has finally took a real toll on me. Laid in bed late DDing, so heavy today. Barely noticed hubby kissing me goodby as he left. I feel like a robot, get in the car start the mindless drive. Lost in the DD world, bright morning sun blinding through the window. Mind skipping around, road, work, DD story line, road, sky, sun, DD character talking to me, work, time- I'm late, etc, etc, then WHOMP! what was that? where am I? What just…

so in a some tizzy over religious comments and I don't know how to deal with it. of course I can't daydream a good outcome to it.

First off I have nothing against any religion. Here's my back story, I married a looser sailor that cheated on me and dumped me in oklahoma thousands of miles away from any family or my friends. I meet a great guy here and who knew after trying for 6 years with pos husband it only takes 4 months to get pregnant, I had given up on ever having kids at this…

My depression and social anxiety have tremendously improved. I still have my moments but I am doing much better.

Now anyways like the title has says, daydreaming is losing it's effect on me. It may be permanent or temporary but ever since I started nanowrimo as most of you know, I've been so busy and too tired to daydreaming. Yet at the same time it involves creativity,  and thinking so my mind doesn't feel bored and a urge to wander off.  I believe I may have found my key out…

i like this one cause the clours are pretty 

mhm

i hardly daydream about this character anymore but ses still important…

Hi again!

Gosh, I hope I'll find time to read your blogs soon...I've missed you guys! My new lifestyle's driving me crazy, I am writing this post at 4 in the morning...so forgive any sleep-deprived grammar :p

----

So, by now I have climbed out of the dream abyss, made it through the labyrinth of distorting mirrors, explored the jungle of lost desires and, finally, got myself in one piece at the end of the road. 

Well, almost in one piece. Because there seems to be…

I'm pretty lost right now.

I'm 18 years old and heading off to college soon, yet I don't know what I want to go to school for, I don't know what I want to do for a living, and hell, I don't even know what's wrong with me. I've recently started talking to a psychologist, and he thinks that my obsessive and excessive daydreaming is caused by ADHD, because my father told him what he thinks my symptoms are and I didn't think I could correct him without breaking down and…

Ashlee's blog post of her character outfits inspired me to do story boards of some of my DD themes. Compilations of images that somehow remind me of my daydream themes. It will be the first creative outlet I have tried for a very long time. 

I feel the need to somehow save the daydreams, honor my "friends" my worlds, lives etc. I don't write creatively so stories are out of the question, besides I don't want to tell it all, I would feel too exposed. But if I put together images that…

Sorry to all the new people who had to wait a few days for approval.  I've been away from the computer for a few days for a very good reason.  I was supposed to go in for a procedure Friday morning, but before I could start the cleanse the night before, I started having horrible stomach aches.  I did the cleanse anyway, and it made me sick to my stomach, but the stomach pains just got worse and worse.  I figured I was just being a big baby, but after about 6 hours, I gave up and called 911…

Whenever I haven't daydreamed in a while, I become extremely irritated, the littlest things will set me off and make me upset. I believe that I am very strong and show little feelings but sometimes when I haven't daydreamed in a while I become more emotional. So I just felt that I should let that be known

   well, everyone does day dream, but it totally depends upon us, how much we should? Mostly it starts when we expect something, which is not possible in our day to day life and then we get into a virtual world of our mind- called twilight zone, where nothing is impossible. We enjoy that virtual reality and after a time period it starts to overwhelm our actual world. And hence somewhere we become unhappy, tired or frustrated after day dreaming, because our little alert conscious mind sends…

were our own...like.......race or species of people or something. ive talked to so many people with md this past week about daydreaming and stuff like that and it felt so normal and right.

i couldn't have a conversation like that with anyone else. and we all come on this site and talk about daydreaming and idk i feel like were super heros or something with a special power idk

Ah, I haven't been here for some time. But I haven't been much into DD, either. My life has been too fast-paced the last week: I'm changing house-and life.

I have good news: my plans worked, and I seem to be cured!!! I've found most of my poisonous triggers. I've unburried major desires, major parts of my personality, and took steps to bring them into my real life. This calmed down my overactive imagination.

For example, I got in an arts team, in the city I just moved…

I just don't  care about anything. I cannot feel alive. I cannot care about the 'real' world or 'real' people. This world feels less real than my own.

I tried to explain it to my therapist. She doesn't understand. She can't see the possibility that it isn't autism (my main diagnosis) related. She thinks when I say that I don't feel 'connected' to people that I mean that I'm not understanding what the other person means or is feeling when I literally mean I feel like I am on a…

outfits i made on polyvore i thought i'd share. i think they capture their style and personality nicely. these characters are dating so thats why i put them together.



     this is their prom outfits…

Hello fellow MDers,

It's me, Jennifer again. I actually have a question for you all, so it would be very much appreciated if you could give me a response to my Blog.

Two weeks ago, I was in my basement daydreaming, and it was about 11:00 at night. (On a Friday). And I realized I was falling asleep on the…

yeeee budddyyyy  i went to my cognitive behavioral therapist today (first session). and it turns out that i don't have maladaptive daydreaming and instead that I have an active mind. A really active mind.

I forgot to ask her what the difference between md and an active mind is but i will ask her next time.

anyways she said that i use md as a way to escape boredom and that people with md are always daydreaming. I only daydream when i am bored and doing something…
