Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I was just curious what the age of our eldest member was. I'm almost 41 and the other day I was thinking about my inablilty to stop MDing and will I be doing this when i'm 50, 60, 70, 80 plus? Does this ever get better with age? I mean are you able to control it more, have more success in eliminating it, or is it worse because it has become such a reinforced behaviour?

Maybe its just me but when I drink, its like the urge to DD goes away. Well not completely go away but the urges subsize in a way. I feel no pressure from the outside world. Well, you probably know how it feels to drink anywway. everything seems how could you say it.........easier in some way.
Anyways back to the point, for the first time i started eeing a phyccologist and she diagnosed me with anxiety, which in her point of view causes my DD. I know alcohol is deppressent,…

Right now at this moment I am going through one of the worst things to ever strike me... EVER.
It is like I want to do something besides what I am doing right now and just go do something else. But then I think about doing that and then I suddenly do not want to do it anymore... I hate this feeling, I get it every so often and it just sucks.
Like right now I suddenly WANT to go play god of war II. But then I think of doing it... And then I instantly do not…

I've come in a time in my life where everything has come to ahead and im uncertain of were i am heading. Even though, being in the last year of my course, less then two months to go, i've come to realise, which is something my therpist has said, even though i'm MDing more and more, The coping, which i use the coping mechnism is breaking, and it's not like that its breaking because i'm starting to get out of it, in the sense life is becoming more and more difficult.
Everyday is hard,…

Well, I'm supposed to be studying... but I don't have my materials... again. So here it goes, SHORT BLOG POST STYLE!
I'm going to use the next few minutes to tell you about a few of my daydream characters, because I have nothing better to do. I'd also like to hear about some of yours, if you feel like sharing!
Please excuse my spelling and grammar. I'm going to make this a very informal blog post... This will not occur very often, I…

Today I was just walking to class, and a girl stopped me. She took the time out of her day to tell me one thing. And this thing ruined my day.
She told me with many, many curse words in it (that I am not going to put on here as I do not know if I am allowed to). But basically she said: EVERYONE hates me, I will never do anything worthwhile in my life, no one will love me, no one even COULD like an ugly human being like me, that I am stupid (I just act stupid alot but that is…

I am just curious...
Has anyone been caught while they were dealing with their problems? For me I just sit there (or lay down) and just process what I am thinking before I continue on. But for any others out there, how do you deal with whatever you have and have you ever been caught?

I do not quite have the same problems as people on here but my good friend Lizzie got me on here. I may not have MD but I have ADHD. I may not have the same problems, but they are still bad nonetheless. So I thought I would start off with what it is like for me.
If you have ever talked with a person with ADHD before, you know how bad it is for them to stay on one subject. With me it is not much different. I drift from topic to topic, quickly changing from games to music. From music to…

I find that when things go wrong, or dramas happen in reality...my DDing is more difficult to get into. And yeah, I am trying to give it up and do it less and less. But sometimes when things get hard (in real life) I feel like I really need my DD. But it's hard to get into it.
I have health issues and had a few dramas this week. Rather not say what. It might set you off!!!! (; DDing that is.
Does anyone else find this? Reality does sometimes knock the DD's out of you. I guess…

Okay, if you don't like dramatic blogs and venting, this is going to be one so I would stop reading it here.
Okay, I've been feeling quite horrible for some time, umm actually I've been feeling nothing for quite a while. It is quite hard to explain, but it is like I have no soul/have no emotions at all. It has made me think of hurting myself before, many times actually but the most I do is rubber band snap a tiny bit or hit myself in the head lightly(Sometimes kind of hard, I…

I watched a man cry the other day. I watched his head drop, and the tears roll down his face. I watched as his body trembled, and his breathing grew hard. I watched him, like he was a movie and I was the audience.
This all happened as I waited for a ride home, outside of the public library connected to my school. I had just gotten out of a tough lab, and was ready to go home and start on all of the papers I had due the next day.
As I walked to my normal place of sitting…

I bought a new trigger. A new album Adele 21, So I've been on an imaginary stage dancing around as I clean the house today. The imaginary Me in Wonderland didn't particulary want to do this album, she is not an RnB fan, but her voice is so good that her record company offered he a huge advance to do the project. *Rolls Eyes*. I'm a fucking nut case!
So I've been doing really good lately, well if you can call it that. I've moved from Wonderland to dding about reality. Which is…

First of all, everyone should read and comment on my first blog.

My daydreams are mostly about me as the main character and I just have normal conversations with people. People I know or have met.
In these conversations, I tell the person or people…

Just found these symptoms on Wikipedia under the "Avoidant Personality Disorder". And I'm just genuinely curious as to how you guys feel about the following characteristics because I feel like I have pretty much all of them.

sorry i'm spamming with posts, but for those of you who use other people's appearances for their characters in their daydreams, doesn't it just feel really satisfying when you get the appearance just right? or is that just me haha! i've been changing my character's appearance a lot because i can't seem to get him to look how i want. i couldn't find any pictures of people who looked how i wanted him to be, so i took to trying to draw him (photoshop probably would've been easier) and it still…

was just wondering, have any of you watched the film 'Sucker Punch' ? i randomly thought i watch it one day and didn't know what to expect, but after seeing it, i realized how it could relate to md. it's circled around the main character, and shows the power of her mind, and what she can do in a fantasy world. one of the songs in the soundtrack is even called 'Where Is My Mind'. apologies if some of you have watched it and don't really like it.
if theres any other films to do with…
