Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
So simple the expectation
I realize as it is annulled
The dream came true, I tell myself
And focus on believing it.
After years of longing, even craving for the acceptance
The truth it now becomes
Not quite the taste I wanted
But it’s something, a relief.
If the notes are audible, that is.
Otherwise I’ll meander along the same winding road, with the lake now in sight, as I had always known it would come…

Hi everyone! I just found this site, and I have to say, like I've seen a lot of others say, I'm so relieved to have found other people like me! I just thought I'd share a little bit about myself and my history with MD.
I have been daydreaming for as long as I can remember...at least since the age of four or five and probably longer, though I don't remember that obviously. My older sister and I were very creative as children, and when we played, it was never like other kids…

Tomorrow, I have to be at school by about 7am because my outdoor ed class is going tramping in mount Somers for 3 days/2 nights. I wonder how much I will DD, and how much I will converse with my group, and if I'll end up making my DD visible while walking (you know, facial movements and the like) or if I'll manage to keep it hidden because most of the class doesn't know I have this.... In fact, out of my group of 3+me=4, I think only one knows. She was shocked when I told her about…

i always read about how music triggers people to dd
and i first read that i was like " i dont do that"
but i realized that i do. its weird because ever since i can remember, one or a few of my characters are singers or in a band
A matter of fact, one of my first daydreams that i can remember was daydreaming the powerpuff girls in a band singer skater boy by avril lavigne everytime that song came on the radio.........
thats embarrassing, but ye
alot of my characters now…

Thank God that summer is here and school is over. I was really worried that dd would ruin me like my freshman and half my soph year. I was dd so much back then I did really bad at school. This time though I didnt let it mess meup. I am proud to ay I got A's and B's :)
I joined track and have been hanging out with friends. I am glad to have them in my life they are amazing and have helped keep dd far from me. Its weird…

It's very difficult to write own dreams on paper because my dreams are beyond the limits ,I wanna share it with people but scare that they will laugh on me.It's too crazy like a child after watching a T.V program or reading a novel start dreaming about it.In dreams i always a powerful ,dexter and industrious kind of person.I sometimes in dreams be a fairy or a T.v or sports celebrity.It's too childish but i think this is my world of fantasies which can never be snaches away by someone or…

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
Excert from Pink Floyd -comfortably numb

I t's too bad when i know that i could do this ,but i couldn't because of my MDD.It generally happens to me in my studies when i tried to put my best and i have almost prepared for class test or paper but at last i couldn't get good result because most of the time at last moments i start day dreaming and then waste my lots of time in fantasies and when i come in my real life lost so much things....people think i'm dull, not willing to complete any task and also careful and lazy but it's…

I can't do it. I thought I could tell someone I trust, but I can't do it! DDing is SO personal to me that I'm embarressed. I'm worried that they will think I'm sick, in the head. "Why would you fantasize about that?" Well, I don't know why I do it - but I can't stop because it's like I HAVE to. Keeps me sane. End of story.

I use my MD as a means of escape. I lie to myself, saying it really helps me but in the end I know it’s just an excuse. With each and every daydream that I have I lose another piece of myself. I use my MD as a distraction from my own feelings and emotions so I don’t have to face them. It’s so hard to even explain what I’m feeling on a normal basis and I write most things off as "whatever" and play indifferent. But it’s because I‘m not sure how I should feel…

Okay, earlier this year I made friends with an exchange student, and she's pretty damn awesome. Her birthday's tomorrow, along with her party, and honestly, I'm kinda scared for it. She's inviting some people in her sports team she just joined that I don't really know, and I don't really actually mind that, I think. I've got her present and I'm a little nervous she won't like it. I was actually looking for a wolf silverfoil, one of these type of things:…

Hi everyone - I havent been here for a while...moving house is a really big thing. But I am SO happy in my new abode! (:
Anyway, yeah...I am a bit of a fan of Jane Austen and in learning a bit about her life and how she died quite young and without a partner in the end. I wonder if she was truly happy? "Persuasion" was one of the last books she had written and is a favourite of mine. It is an agonising story (like a lot of them I guess) but has a wonderful end. I wonder how the…

I've been doing a lot of thinking. When people use the word "introvert" to describe me, I get really sensitive. Why are words like "weird" and "introverted" negative to most people (myself)? I'm starting to see a positive side to it.
Don't get me wrong, the maladaptive daydreaming has got to stop. I don't think I could ever see it as a positive thing for me, maladaptive means counterproductive. Daydreaming, just daydreaming every now and then and letting your imagination…

Today wasn't the best. My third day at driver's ed, the last two were fine, nothing big, but today during our thirty minute break I kinda stood alone awkwardly, and I had two so called friends who just passed me up and then I saw them pointing at me and laughing and it made me mad and broke my heart. Eventually I went to sit next to my other friend, which I didn't want to cause I felt like I was annoying her, but I didn't wanna stand alone anymore. So I sat next to her and she didn't seem…

IT's been awhile since I've posted anything on here, partly because I never think of it, and partly because I have trouble finding the motivation to articulate what I'm thinking in a coherent way.
Probably, if I had a good group of close and reliable friends to spend time with in REAL life, even 1 or 3, you probably wouldn't see me on chat even once a month.
I sort of feel my university life has been a waste. It happened so fast. There I was in high school, unhappy with the…
