Maladaptive Daydreaming had once been the greatest concern of my life, especially after I suddenly discovered myself addicted to this strange phenomenon(I prefer not to say disorder). All MDers are quite aware that the world hardly knows about this, and proper treatment or cure, to my knowledge is yet to come. In a personal battle with this curse, I have spent almost two years trying to rediscover myself, re-figure out what I really was. And in doing so, I confess, I couldn't overthrow the…

I was bored and started taking random online quizzes and stumbled on this one. I thought it was sorta  interesting so I thought I would share it with everybody here. Although Its pretty obvious as to what everybodies results will be. Without Imagination, could MD even exist? But anyways, heres the link : http://www.chatterbean.com/personality-quizzes/imagination/ and feel free to post your results on here!

Today has been a bad day.

Throughout the night I dreamt about my DD characters in a complex story that was pretty adrenaline filled. When I woke (Lunchtime! After twelve hours sleep! It's like I'm trapped in my dreams) I lay awake and finished the story for about an hour. I then went to town on my day off to do a few errands etc and daydreamed the entire time. Then I got home and ate. And daydreamed constantly. So I'm a bit sick now.

I have an empty notebook I…

So while we are talking about this other world and all that I would like to add something I was wondering about for a while now.



I don't claim to be psychic or anything like that but while we are talking about energy I was wondering if anybody had this happen before.



Sometimes every ones in a blue moon when I daydream I go to a place I have never been before it's like somebody is just grabbing me from my dream and we are going to this place it's mostly under water or in…

Hey, My name is Daniel I've been dealing with my compulsive daydreaming since I was about 5 years old. I’ve always created these large imaginary worlds to escape things that have happened to me. When I was a child my mother was domestically abused violence with my father so I learnt to create large places to escape.

I spend most of my day between my daydreams and real life. I'm day dreaming now and i can honestly say i spend 90% of the time I'm conscience with a day dream going so…

i've never really made a post saying everything that i do when i'm daydreaming, blahblahblah. i just kind of comment on people's blogs and discussions with things that i do. so here it is all in one place.

how it started:

the first time i ever remember daydreaming in a way that was MD-ish was when i was 9 or 10 (i'm 14 now). i was in the car and it was only a 45 minute drive, but that's a long time for a 9 year old. :P i made up a character that was…

So, I have this very crazy idea, as I often do with everything; what if, all the stuff us MDers imagine, is actually real, but is taking place somewhere else, or, if it's on Earth, it is, in actual fact, taking place on a planet very similar to Earth?

Yes, I know this probably isn't true, and Cordellia is probably gonna kick me off this site for being so crazy (XD), but what if it was? This theory could work for me, because my current DD is a mix of my current DD character that in my…

The driving is going better than expected, but there are major flaws that needs fixing. I've chosen to learn to drive stick shift, because it want to be able to drive any kind of car…

Sorry, I'm annoyed.

This might be slightly contradictory, because, my god, I don't suffer from MD as much as others here do.

So please please don't take this post into consideration if you suffer from MD really badly.

But I've noticed that from this forum that a lot of people here take the attitude that they simply can't function day to day with MD. They stay in, have no social life and basically have a dormant life.

Why? Is it…

I'm 27 and don't have a driving license... when all my peers got theirs at 18, I was busy with my mind... 

In the new spirit of taking charge of my life and flourishing with MD, I've signed up for an intensive class. In the past whenever faced with a challenge that would require planning ahead+concentrating and studying, it would basically…

Today was scary. It was one of those rare but intense daydreaming days for me. I spent 15 hours lying in bed, sleeping and daydreaming. The only thing I ate was a small sandwich at 5pm. I didn't even want to eat. I looked as if I had all the symptoms of depression, except that I was having an extremely delightful time in my head. I’m glad I’m not like this all the time, but it truly scares me afterwards. Am I the only one who has daydreamed to this extreme?

The entire…

I never thought of myself as really being THAT affected by MD, after all, i function can hold down a job, I'm very well liked, people look up to me, ...Now I am all of these things...so I've overcome right? Naaaah not really.

Me personally I dont believe in regrets, so I'm so grateful for my MD, if not for it I dont know what the hell I would have done. I was so damned lonely I may have offed myself if I didnt have my little world to escape too, where everything was alright,…

Hey my names Elle, I'm 18, and like most of you i've being daydreaming since is was young. It'so good to be able to talk to other people about this, so i have a few questions :)

 1) I'm now in my final year of school with my last exams 3 weeks away and was wondering if MD affects anyones ability to concentrate and study?

2) Do you find MD has affected your social life? I have a big group of friends and love social events but after a few hours i find myself making up excuses so…

The deepest thoughts penetrate my mind when I’m immersed in myself, listening to notes that pluck the strings of my moods, stirring the taste buds of my mind. I think of death, Nick, and that girl when certain soft sounds reach my ears. I spin in the darkness as my mind reaches out to the untouchable place where they are. I wonder at the impossible as my emotions tangle with the music and my mind drowns in thoughts that aren’t speakable. I long for Koni Latu’s presence as I sink to the…
