For my grammar class we had to write a few sentences about our role models and then rewrite them.  Here is what I wrote.  Lol.  I kept cracking  up because I was so bold.  I'm highly impressed with myself for the moment.......not because my writing is genius as this is crap for my grammar class, but because I told the truth and flaunted it.  Here's what I wrote.  I wonder if my prof is thoroughly puzzled right now.

I had a weird experience in my cycling exercise class tonight. The instructor seemed to say something like "Let's not talk to ourselves" (?) The music was on pretty loud but I swear that's what she said. She then went on about focusing on our form and what we're doing. I was surprised and scared and I looked right at her, but she wasn't looking at me and neither was anyone in the class so that's good! But it made me very uncomfortable since that's a bad habit I'm REALLY embarrassed about.…

So I saw my therapist today and I got up the courage to mention this to her. She had heard of it before! I explained what I found online, and how I knew doctors didn't trust patients who researched their own stuff online, but she said this made a lot of sense. She said she's worked with other people who do this, and that it's quite common, especially in very smart people who get bored very easily. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, except the part where I don't feel like I'm…

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  I wasn't really sure what to say.  To be honest, I don't want any advice really about how to fix my life or my MD.........unless anyone has any advice for how to get published, which case I'm still interested.  I try to live completely openly and honestly.  Either change it or learn to love it.........and there's a lot of me that I have to make that decision with.  I'm not good at changing stuff, and I'm not really ready to love some of it,…

Mundane society has condemned dreamers since the beginning of time. 

When I was a kid I lived completely in my own head, and was terrified of the real world. Since then I've been through a lot of school and a lot of life and I've pretty much achieved all of my mundane goals. I'm healthy, in good shape, I'm a physician and academic but I only work part-time so I also travel several months a year. 

I'm not so sure all of this 'success' is all that important. Now…

Hi everyone,

I am brand new to this site. Thanks so much for all of this information. It helps to know that I'm not alone.

I'm very embarrassed about this condition. I've been telling myself that daydreaming wasn't damaging to me but now I realize that the clumsy accidents I've had recently were caused by daydreaming. One thing I realized this weekend (when really trying to overcome this on my own by paying close attention to my thoughts) is that I find it relatively easy to…

Hi, I'm new to the forum!  This is the only forum I've ever seen that is centered around MD.  (Out of curiosity, are there any other forums?) 

I guess some background info is needed.  I've been daydreaming since the fourth grade.  I guess before that age, I just played make believe games. 

It was really bad from about the fifth grade all the way through high school.  I was very emotionally numb and distant during those years.  Daydreaming was my escape and…

This post is about social anxiety rather than daydreaming, but some of you might be able to identify with it.

I have always suffered from mild social anxiety: shyness, insecurity, reluctance to start conversations, etc..  However, I am usually able to overcome this when I need to.  If I really need to talk to someone about something, I can usually force myself to start the conversation, and once the conversation gets going, it isn't that bad.

However, in the past few years…

I just wanna share this experience i had constantly with everyone in this site.... I often had a thought of stopping to do MDs in order to concentrate on the things i suppose to do for my future. But most of the time I had a voice inside my head telling me that I should do MD because it has a mysterious uncanny ability to give me the ability to become a better person, become smarter, become more creative.....

and after i did it nothing happens exept that i become more lost in…

There is nothing real, except what you can experience.  I base my reality off of experience.  I use that direction to decide how to live my life.  I want to live for reasons that are real.  If that means living in my head for most of it, until I meet someone who comes into the clouds with me, then I will do that. 

I use day dreaming to further myself by recognizing the dreams as they happen.  This helps me recall what I day dreamed in a class last year, and because of it I…

I found out about this site from the latest edition of Scientific American Mind.  As I read the six-page article about obsessive daydreamers I became overwhelmed with emotion. I've dealt with my excessive daydreaming for years. I thought I was the only one. Seriously. I created an elaborate fictional world with fictional characters I've grown to care about. For the last few years, I've fought to rid myself of those need to drift away from this fake world. Needless to say, it's not been easy.…

            

                  I joined here a month ago. Two perhaps. I can't exactly remember. I had planned to post as soon as I joined but I was conflicted. I didn't want to believe I had a problem, and for the most part, it didn't feel like I had a problem. Just because I enjoyed mental stimulation and solitude more than most wasn't a issue, right?  However, I started to see the world passing me by. The people around…

I read about this Network in the article on Daydreaming in  Scientific America but I am slightly confused.  To whom am I posting?

I have been daydreaming off and on as long as I can remember.  I have been a pioneer child crossing the snowy prairie, the beautiful widow out West,  brilliant student and beautiful actress.  I am now deeper into any fantasy I have every have.  Before I go on, I'd like to understand who is reading all of this and what kind of privacy protection I…

So since I recently joined... I decided to post something about me and my MD.

I'm currently almost thirteen, and I was born in Canada. I was a bit MD since I was little. I loved writing, and back then I guess I just assumed it was like writing genius or something...

Around eight, I really got into reading, and I started to write fanfics and stuff like that. After I while I got sick of writing though, so I decided to start keeping things in my…

I'm very new around here, so I was just wondering if someone could help me out a little by telling me what happens around here, and tell me more about the community.

It would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
