Holy mackerel, I haven't been on this site in a while!  I've kind of been a bit swamped with school, for starters, but many interesting things have been happening lately.  I figured I'd share some of my latest experiences with all of you, since a number of them have to do with my MD.

I took a rather risky leap of faith in my writing class, specifically regarding the topic I chose for our first paper.  Our professor started us off with a simple assignment: we had to write one…

 I was told a blog post would be the best thing to do that's why I bring my previous post over here.

 So this is the first time ever I write down my thoughts I always thought about it I mean telling someone but I never could I always thought about a diary but even there I was scared someone would find it and make fun of me.

I Daydream a lot as long as I can remember I think it all started when i was around 6 or 7 I remember I could only sleep with music so my mom got me a CD…

ok i will start saying i'm not american and i don't speak a lot of english but i will try my best to post this.. sorry about my bad english...

my daydreaming before the miracle was total, i did it all the time and i couldn't stop even if i wanted.

what happened is that i started to go to a christian church and i started to notice that other people who went to church started to heal from cancer and others diseases and on sunday before i went to church i said to god, "ok, my…

Have 2 weeks that my ex-girlfriend finished our relationship,

a lot of times she said that i was not so affective, that i was always distant.

And i had percieved that when i was with her, my wish to daydream was stronger,

Sometimes when we travelled i could not DD at least not pacing,

so i stood more distant and a little bit nervous, All i could wish was stand alone and DD.

Even in my family most of the time i want to be alone,  

i don`t want to talk…

I came aross this thought today. Do you think DD is acting or reacting?

Because, the stories we come up with may be actions at first, but once we develop the characters and face different situations, is it still acting or does it turn into reacting (even though basically, it remains acting in a way).

Just a thought...

This is my 1st post. Pretty much all of my DD include people that have touched my life in some way. They usually involve people that are important to me or those that have passed away. My DD's are very elaborate and often dark, even apocalyptic.  If the fantasy's are not negative in nature, they usually involve my adult life. The only positive DD's I seem to have are romantic in nature and few and far between. My brain never shuts down, my memory is excellent and I remember much of anything…

I'm going to begin to blog about my MD so that maybe i can get a better grip on it. R.E. see how its affecting my life more realistically. And then kick its ass. 

I can function. I'll say that much. I have read some people say that they have no control over it whatsoever and my heart goes out. If i have to I can shut it off. My career to date has been pretty successful. I'm looked at as smart, got it together, on her way to the top etc etc. ( even thou i've recently been out…

Is philosophizing a way of daydreaming too?

I meqan, because of how it makes me feel & how I (don't) control it.

I can think of a single thing in so many different ways it's weird. The other day I even gave my sister an impression of what a certain desktop wallpaper could be. What it could show, what an artist was thinking while making it. What colours could mean. What was my favourite thing about it. That kind of stuff. An interpretation. But most of the time I think…

You know how I said that I wanted to solve all of my DD characters' problems in the hope that they would disappear? Well, it worked. Then I spent a few days not thinking about them (there was no point). And I just daydreamed about other people, (a new daydream has started and I know it'll last for months). Anyway, I hate it when this happens. My DDs last a few months and then they change.

I hate the transition between one DD and another. It's like I fight the new one. Anyway,…

I have only recently started to look into maladaptive daydreaming, which is surprising as it is something i have been doing since a very young age. I have always battled with my sense of self, perceiving my personal life goals as achieving contentment in myself so that i can experience more and give more. What shocked me profoundly is how even though I have been very aware of these daydreams all my life, the detrimental effect this has had on me is huge, and explains a lot! I feel relieved…

I think it started when I was 9 or 10. I turned 20 last August. That makes 10 or 11 years lost in fantasies since then and living a lie I created myself. That makes 50% (or more) of my life; and naturally the percentage is about to start increasing. Soon, if it isn't already.

I daydream most of the time. More excessively when I'm alone; every time before bed. I have trouble falling asleep because of that. But it wasn't always as frequent as it was in the past year. The thing is I took…

Is any one reading this series.  The heroine time travels back to Scotland in the 1700's, falls madly in love with a wonderful scotsman, returns to here& now, becomes a docter, goes back.  I'm in the 5th book, and they have traveled to New World, right before Revolutionary War.  I love the idea of time traveling, and both characters are quite compelling.

Hi!

I still don't know any of you yet. I'm new. And I was just wondering, from reading the posts... which of you are trying to quit the addiction of MD and which of you are quite happy to keep going and think it's beneficial? Or are some of you trying to keep going but make it more manageable at the same time?

I've noticed that most of us here fall into the first two categories, either trying to quit an addiction and very frustrated or love daydreaming and…

Alright, I began talking to a fellow ENFP about MDD & he replies, "Ah, I'm pretty sure I have that, my kid does to & I'm proud my son has it to.  Love it & it serves me well.  My friend suggested taking a vitamin B12 to turn it off whenever & I can just have vivid dreams in my sleep.".... Then I just blew.  I guess I needed to vent, I've never vented about it before.  I feel bad now, I just typed in 90 mph anguish, I wasn't even sure what I was…

This is crazy.... ive had tons and tons of daydreams ABOUT telling people about my MD, all of them different where i either get rejected, misunderstood, and got asked a ton of questions and felt like a freak, so i dont know why i have this strong urge to spill my deepest secret.  ANYWAYS

I think im going to tell my friend about my…

Even though MDD has always affected me negatively, to where I can barely function.  NOBODY knows what I've been going through or what I have.  I have told my best friend & my fiance a couple little things about me(the MDD side of me), but I've never implied anything or went further.  I've never told a soul about any of my MDD cause of fear.  When I was little, I used to think I was either straight jacket-crazy, or that I was mentally challenged.... sad. 

. . . . I can't believe it, I finally found what I have.  I've been researching off & on for years to find out if there was a name for what I have, if there was anybody else like me or if I was just crazy.  I finally discovered it on the internet yesterday.  I literally began crying out of relief cause every single symptom they listed couldn't fit me more perfectly.  It was just like how my mother broke down crying out of relief because they finally made people aware of OCD/shed some…
