Maybe someone will sense a bell ringing after reading this, maybe no one will. Doesn't change it much.

I've had my senses shrouded in daydreams since 2009, but I have reason to speculate it began as far back as 2003. That makes it a significant percentage of my existence. During this time, its form, meaning, purpose and functioning have all changed multiple times, sometimes subtly, sometimes drastically, ranging from spaceships to weird striped aliens to battles between demigods, and in…

Yes, it's true. I've been daydreaming since I was a very small child. I grew in a very chaotic and unpredictable household. Daydreaming was the only escape. I continued to do it in school, I think, because it was stressful to be there with all those other kids. There was no end to the stress, so I went even deeper when I got to Junior High. In fact, a teacher actually commented to me that I could leave the room, being physically present but absent otherwise. I had to be there so it was the…

I haven't visited this site for quite a while but recently I've seen a comment from DebbieP (hi,Debbie!) that made me go back to the post 'My life is perpetual moulding and disintegration' to see how much things have changed.

And they changed a lot.

First of all, yes Debbie, I managed to complete my dissertation and it was the best dissertation of the year. What is more, two months ago I completed another successful dissertation that gave me master's degree.

Currently I…

Hello!

It's been a very long time since I posted on here. Long story short, my life almost ended last year after a couple of medical problems. During the hospital stays and endless "sitting in bed" I used MD to cope. 

Now I'm in college. I've been here for about 3 months, and I love it! I was so concerned about my MD problems. Living with a roomate, and being around people constantly, it scared me. I thought that it would control my life and wouldn't be social. Now- I…

Today I went shopping for new clothes and found myself buying only things my MD character would wear. I normally wear very casual, comfortable clothes, but today I shopped for items that were more stylish and trendy like those I imagine on my character.

It felt great to try on the clothes and I really felt comfortable in them, a stronger more confident version of myself I guess. I bought them all. 

Now I'm at home and wondering, is that a positive move ..like I'm…

I'm starting to wonder if the parts of the brain that are responsible for dreaming at night, during REM sleep are responsible for daydreaming as well. I've noticed recently, that my MD's are more prevalent in the mornings (as I am waking up) and the context of my daydreams are more unrealistic and troubling than they are throughout the rest of the day. 

I've also found that the dreams I wake up and remember can trigger hour-long daydreams that follow the same themes while I am…

Recently I have been getting into the Myers Briggs test and have been finding some very interesting correlations between types.  I'm an ENFP that has struggled with MDD my whole life.  In descriptions of 'N' vs 'S' there is a common theme that N's are more "imaginative" and tend to day dream.  It makes me wonder if types with strong N's are more likely to develop MDD.  So could everyone post their MBTI type?  I'm really interested if we will have an S types and how their DD differ from the…

I've been lurking here for a long time but never posted. I've been curious about my condition but never thought I could fix it and figured it was too late anyway. I am 60 years old and have had MDD as long as I can remember. It has had a terrible effect on my life, kept me from relationships, career, etc. But I have been resigned to it and that's why I never posted.

I am posting now because something has disrupted my MDD and there is no one else I can turn to except this community. I…

This isn't related to Daydreaming, but it's something weird that happened over the past 3 days.

So, yesterday, at around 8:00 AM, I was going to a nearby park; to jog. On the sidewalk, I saw a frail man; dressed in rags; shivering. The man called out to me and said that he has a fever and asked me to get him some paracetamol. I obliged but at 8:00 AM, the drugstores weren't open. So, I had to get some from my house. I ran to my house and my mom freaked out and told me not to go to the…

Boy, the things that happen when I'm not looking.

Is there any way to cut off the head of this NSFW out-of-place spamfest? Like a report button? I'm asking because I can't seem to find one.

To whoever is behind this annoying spambot: have you no shame? You're actively disrupting the activites of this site with couldn't-be-more-off-topic, repetitive content that nobody wants to see here, and you're flooding the whole place with it.

Dare you come out and justify…

I started a therapy, two months ago, both with a psychiatrist and a psychologist (here, in Argentina, are two separate and distinct professions). Psychiatrist gave me medication, specifically olanzapine, that is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. After two months of medications and therapy my MDD had almost disappeared but I started suffering from extreme depression, anxiety and paranoia (I must say that we are suffering from a terrible insecurity and criminality…

I've been lurking here since my first post over a year ago. A lot has happened since then, and I need to talk about it.

I think my daydreaming might have gotten worse, but maybe it just seems that way because my outer life has become more demanding.

I have three older sisters, and last fall was the first time that they were all away at college. For the most part, I can stay outside of my head when there are other people present. So sharing space with my sisters limited how much…

I have been trying to stop daydreaming for longer than I care to think about. Although I have had some successes, I have had many setbacks and have made but slow progress. But I keep trying despite how impossible it sometimes seems, holding on to fact that every bit of progress I make improves my life and the hope that one day I will be able to stop completely. I know there are others on this site who are also trying to stop daydreaming, and if you are anything like me you have likely…

These guys know their deal.

Once upon a time there was a girl who believed in love. She did all the right things, took the proper precautions and eventually fell in love. This boy ended up breaking her heart so she grew wiser and that much smarter. However, she couldn't manage to completely pull herself from the memory of that boy until she found someone else. He was handsomely stunning, guile, simple yet complex. A beautiful amalgamation of contradicting qualities that only seemed to set him more on fire in her eyes.…
