seriously.

last week, i  was lying in bed daydreaming, and it was about something really sad happening to some of my characters. i started crying.

afterwards, i felt weird.

these are fictional people that i created in my head.

why am i so attached to them?

i also like to edit pictures of people from the internet (mostly celebrities) to look like my characters, because i like to look at them in real life and not just in my head. i…

I think someone once told me about a philosopher or great thinker of some sort that would fall asleep in a chair while holding metal balls in his hands, the idea being that they would drop right as he drifted off and startle him awake. Apparently the reason for this was that some of the greatest ideas happen in the moment right before sleep.. I found this very interesting because I have definintely noticed that I sometimes have my greatest revelations right before dozing off. I also daydream…

Hey guys

I was just wondering how Md affects you when you drink alcohol. When i started to drink i found it fun and it let me rid all the the thoughts in my head and be in the moment with my friends but lately it brings me more into the world of my head and i find it harder to have fun especially when eveyone around me is dacning and laughing. Does anyone else feel this way when they drink?

Hi there, I'm new here and I've got my own blog about maladaptive daydreaming if anyone is interested.

I started this 2 years ago where I finally decided to get it out on the web to hope for people to read it. It all started with me at an early age but never told anyone, now I'm 20 and…

i'm sure a lot of you know about tumblr. but in case you don't, it's a blogging website.

I'm still young and only a freshman at high school. I remember being so involved. My life was routine back then but at least it was fun. I had my friends, my sports and i excelled at school. Ive been trying to catch up on the years Ive spent doing nothing. The years i ignored and pushed away my friends. I cant even remember whats it like to sit in a group of people and laugh. Recently, im training for my school's tennis team. Ill probably join track my other semesters. I don't want to…

Left in the dark is

a solider.

She stands alone

on the battlefield.

Just a battle between

her and the devil.

She's losing.

His temptations

will be the death of her.

His deep, teasing voice

is the chains that drag her in.

The malicious laugh

makes her shake.

The cold,…

I thought I can leave here (Dubai)without any grief .But it is life with all of its unpredictability,I like that at certain level at least its aesthetics of  possibilities.we should be angry when someone trying to ruin our dream.Accidents are not accidents it is a chain of actions explode at  a particular moment.

we trust others as our brain trained(by evolution?) to be believed some prototypes.I always thought we must resolve  the ambiguity in life to find a workable solution,and i…

Hi there.  I'm Amber and am a mid-30's Mom.   Speaking about this at all is awkward because I don't think I've ever told anyone about this ever.  I'm actually quite sure I haven't. Imagine my surprise when I got the idea to google daydreaming and I came across a site about MD which in turn lead to this site. 

I fit the description of MD quite well.  I remember doing it as a child and its never really stopped.  I am an only child and as a kid I used to pretend to be a teacher…

I guess it all started when I was around 4 or 5, I had learned to read at a pretty early age, so my imagination was already sparked. I'm not sure what triggered the MD but it most likely came from many sources at once.  My parents separated 6 months after I was born and my Dad would visit once a year or so, he lived in Europe.  I grew up in a single parent/extended family household, so I was always surrounded by adults most of them much older than me.  I was a lonely child and an only child…

Well, I never thought I would say this, but things with my daydreaming seem to be gettting better.  I can see most of my issues are with self-loathing.  I see that a lot of other people have issues with productivity and paying attention.  These have never really been an issue for me.  I also have OCD, which (I have to laugh a little here) seems to save me from being unproductive.  It seems to balance me out, because no matter how much I daydream, I am also very driven to be perfect in…

Haha, just a couple things I wrote when I was feeling down. They're pretty short and not that great.

#1:

No matter where

When I wake up I reach out for you

And you disappear

Into the oblivion

Why do you do this to me?

It’s been going on since I was a child

I’ve been waiting, pondering, wanting for you to stay through the day. By my side through the seasons and the years.

#2:

The dark. The sweat and the night. The presence…

It all started as a game, or that is what I think. I am not sure how it did, but I know now that has come out of control. Yes, it did. It did happen to me. I eventually started and now I am trapped in my own mind. I can't resist to talk to myself, or talk to my imaginary friends.  Actually, they are not completely imaginary because they exist in real life. They just don't come to me that often, but I bring them in my imaginary world, or my wonderland.

I always end up being the most…

Silence is the border

From where I astonish why it isn’t a routine

I stepped out from the escalation of violent inside

Freeing mind from atrocities and…

Lately, I've entered into a form of emotional yoyo-ing. I'm functioning in a perpetual state of self-loathing, yet hyper-excitable moods that are sort of coupled with depersonalization and a complete lack of balance. I'm really anxious and my heart rate is super high and pounding, but I still feel sort of fine. I think this is mainly from hormone shifts (damn them!). At times like this , though, I'm particularly connected with my daydreams.  I wish I were a better writer, or artist, so that…

Just testing first. One two three. My favourite dreams are the ones that are recyclabe.

It's about time I had one, though it kept switching between me and him (Dan), as if we were the same person. Plus, he had my voice. o_O Basically, Dan was a college art teacher. All of his students loved him. Suddenly, one of his students, who looked like Edward James Olmos, created a masterpiece painting that he fell in love with. For the majority of the dream, he tried to sneak inside his own studio to steal his student's…

I'm  Canadian- which I choose to think means I have winter in my veins. The last few months have been kind of lacking the winter chill that I'm used to , but it's back and with a vengence.

A segment from an article on the weather network:

"Cold Arctic air has invaded much of Alberta and will bring temperatures of minus 31 to 39C (-23.8 to -38.2Fahrenheit)  overnight. These temperatures combined with winds of 15 to 20 km/h will give wind chills of minus 40 to 50 (-40 to -58…

    Recently my MD has been letting up. I'm able to actually go through out my school and focus on my work instead of  when i could get home to start MDing. Everything has gotten better, including my relationships with friends and family etc. Then when i think everything is starting to balance out it comes back harder that ever!…

Literally, I am trying to find out why. I was never abused, raped, or anything like that. Nothing bad happened to me or is happening. I have great friends and my parents are together. They don't live together at the moment though. The only thing I can think of is that my mom really pressures me to do well in school and I am constantly in over my head with AP classes and whatnot. But i can not seem to ever stop daydreaming. Every minute of every day i seem to be doing it! Its horrible and i…
