It's impossible to make a blanket definition of creativity for every individual out there. But if I had the nerve, which I boast, then it would definitely include the word 'exposure'.

Some people claim that MD enables them to be more creative. I held that opinion once, too. The idea goes that only the state of being triggered into excessive daydreaming provides a suitable environment for your imagination to take shape.

How?

Abstract concepts and desires are lying at the…

I was thinking about one of the most recurring topics among MDers, both former and those who still suffer from it. I'm talking about the theme of being stuck too far behind in time, or moving so slowly that there is seemingly no hope to catch up with the rest of the world.

I'm no stranger to that feeling as a former MDer. However, now that I can look back at my past ordeals and judge it from a refreshed perspective, I believe that the 'rest-of-the-world-to-do-catching-up-with' was…

A lot of people felt that end with us was not that great a book but to be honest I liked it , it’s an exact depiction of what happens . I have lived like that though my father never really hit my mother they argued a lot and he has had many a times tried to hit me . I say try because some phir I have always been lucky and escaped and the whole making up after it and stuff the worst part is that same I can’t ever forgive me it’s impossible. My Maladaptive daydreaming started because of that…

Reading some blog posts on here made me realise something - my MD has set me back years. I had a distorted view of who I wanted to be through my daydreams - a violent person surrounded by drama and boys. And I realized, this is what I wanted when I was in primary school. I didn't want this to be my life when I'm out in the real world. But I was still clinging to this version of me, one with anger issues who can do whatever she wanted. 

A few months ago, I had some time without my…

Hi everyone. I promised to myself that I'll post my honest feelings, so now I've decided to write an update. I've dreamt again.

Life has been rough recently so one day I couldn't resist the urges. At first it felt like heaven. But now as I continued daydreaming it started to get worse. Now life feels unbearable again. I know that I am strong enough to start again. Even if fall again, I'll pick myself up, over and…

Parents have been telling their kids over the years that daydreaming doesn't get you ahead in the world. My parents never knew that I was a daydreamer, at least my mom didn't, and I was a very quiet kid. I was always thinking and trailing off now and then. Rather than staying in the present moment with others. I didn't tell them what's been going on in that head of mine. 



Whatsoever, when I was 12, my dreams began to get very thick and overpowering. It made me feel wonderful…

I promised that I’ll post frequently, so here I am, rewriting this whole post again, because I googled how to say ‘action movie’ in English and the text just disappeared… So just know that I had enough dedication to share my thoughts with you Σ੧(❛□❛✿)



Life has been… pretty okay honestly. Sounds so unusual to me, because then I had MD every day of my life was a living hell. Now days are mostly quiet and mundane; I go to the gym, study, eat, go to bed, go to the gym, study, go to…

Maladaptive daydreaming the biggest curse in my life I have been imagining every differ scenario that k wild want . I am sooo behind in life that i can’t even describe to anyone of y’all. That’s what md does suck out the entire potential will of a person , and now im lower than any of the years before and seeing everyone go so high and successful in everything else . I don’t know how it started I just know it has to end , and I have not been daydreaming since two days already feels like a…

I was a maladaptive daydreamer all my life, but it got overpowering starting at 12. I am shocked at how I didn't grow adjusted to my worldly environment and social situations. When I was floundering in other fictional worlds, I wasn't learning to excelerate my volcabulary, speech, and social interaction skills, but also my world perception, such as politics, religion, history, culture, and economics. Eventually, I grew up sounding like an idiot with no brain. Truly I'm a smart,…

It’s been almost a half year since I wrote my first post. I guess, It’s time to write an update.



In the previous post I said that I got into my dream university. Maybe I was delusional, but I thought that my life would change to the better instantly. That I’ll find my first love. But life is life, so I was rejected multiple times. I think you know what people say after hearing such things: “It’s not your fault, it happens to everyone!”

And I knew it, but someone inside me kept…

Yo, so. Here i am.

I have to go back to trying stop MD, cause i know i have a problem, and in moments like the one i am - filled with school things - i darydream more than normal, even tho, i think is like a way my brain remembers me i have this addiction. School really helps me stop with the daydreaming, is almost impossible for me to daydream when i am studing, talking to people. 

These days i was like, 2 in the morning, daydreaming, then i just got like: "Bro i am such a…

I just had my longest streak of not doing it - 3 days! 

I've managed to not let my usual triggers get to me, by either avoiding them or by throwing myself into another thing altogether to distract me. The trigger I'm struggling with is socialising - hanging out with friends and talking seems to have the biggest impact on me. I don't know how to keep it under control, I keep caving. I understand it's triggered because I want to be seen as cool or normal, but I already have friends who…

It's been a while. I tried to stop, but then the next week i felt even more wanting to do daydream. And i know pretty well this is a bad sign, but i decided to wait psicological help so i wont hurt myself doing so.

I wanted to talk about Anne, one of my creations. She is like me, her body size and type, her mood, problems. Obviously she had a drama on it, but in geral, she looks a bit like me. She, at least to me, is my ideal version of myself. Anne is a 16y girl, lesbian, who never…

Hiya,

My name is Rachel. I joined WMN in December 2012 when I was barely 14 years old. Now, I'm 25.

This site may seem like a ghost town now, but this site was FULL OF LIFE between the years 2012 (and before) to 2018. The blog posts, the forums, and the chat were full of people eager to help and get to know each other. The chat, specifically, was always active. People were always talking, and I myself made many long-term friends from the chat on this site, some whom I'm even…

For some reason today the universe bestowed a very philosophical mood on me, so I obeyed and decided to finally write an unedited blog post about MD. Like, I didn't even try to think about the logical structure or else. Just got an urge to shoot something out there.

Anyway, I divided the challenges into 3 types. This is rather arbitrary by the way, i.e. based on my observations more than the research papers. I've read them, too, but I wasn't religiously referring to them when listing…
