Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Hi, so lately I've been doing a lot of self-improvement and working on myself, and I realised that finally, I am happy with my life. I feel at ease, and I always thought that would stop my want to MD. It hasn't though. And when I did indulge, I realise that my daydreams wanted a different life than the one normal-me wanted. A life filled with adventure and danger, but I don't want that, not right now and not as I spend the rest of my life.
I still want to MD now, but I do it much…

I am a female, almost 35 years old. I am married for 12 years and we have 3 kids together. I have a normal life on the outside. But I also MD, had it since I was 10 years old.
At 10 years old, the abuse by my brother had started. My dad was never around, always working. My mom just isn't mentally capable for taking care of anyone (including herself). MD was there for me when I was feeling so lonely.
In my daydreams I am a succesfull singer, and it's always about being in the…

So, i started here two weeks ago, you dont really have to read this, i just want to keep my progress writed down and maybe give a bit of a hope to other persons going trought the same problems.
First of all, i'm trying to keep track of time of how much i fantasize, maybe i'll put a chronometer to get it right, but every day after i wake up, at lunch and after dinner i fantasize for like 30 minutes or 15.
Sometimes i turn off the clock and continue doing it anyway, but…
ContinueMy excessively curious brain makes me learn about important things in the most unexpected ways possible.
This time, it happened while playing Ace Attorney. Happened twice, actually, but only once relevant to this post.
Not long after starting the game, I was getting YouTube recommendations about it. Mostly fandom things. Mostly severe brain damage inducing. Especially headcanon stuff. I hate the latter everywhere, not just in Ace Attorney.
Finally, I've got one that digs…

I think, at least to me, that my life wont be more "boring" without daydreaming, It'll be only harsh, my imagination always had been with me, and now im trying to resist MD, its hard to think how my life will be without it.
I ask myself if i one day ill stop talking out loud to myself, cause these days i'm even feeling bad doing so, it gives me a disassociation feeling.
I'm a writer, so is ever harder not to do it with my own stories.
I feel like i will have to kbow…

(English isn't my mother language so if i spell something wrong, sorry)
Ever since i knew myself i was a lonely kid, bullied in school ever since first grade, in my kindergarten i was the crybaby, and even my family disapproved of it and always had pointed out how i was emotional and easily depressed. My brother said that ever since I was 5 I was too anxious for a kid. …

It’s been a long journey , I was a child who was really compared a lot , for the smallest of things , that really shook my self esteem to pieces but yeah the accountability is on me because they did what they did .

Reading some of the old comments here, saw "Life without maladaptive daydreaming would be boring".
So glamorizing. Just like finding other clinical disorders like anxiety and depression "quirky", nonsense. Makes me question whether people who say that actually have it.

I was a bit bored and wrote a few comments for what I assume to be an old post (https://wildminds.ning.com/page/it-s-not-all-bad).
I only commented on proposed "pros of maladaptive daydreaming".
-extreme creativity
How is that a pro if it literally says “extreme”? Extreme degree of something rarely means something safe or positive. And MD is not…

Does anyone here believe in God and ask Her for help to get rid of the thoughts of bad dreams that make life difficult?

Hi lovely people!
My name is Marta and I have been maladaptive daydreaming for 7 years. It especially got worse during high school, as I was going through a very difficult time. Because of this struggling moment in my life, I started maladaptive daydreaming for hours and hours on a daily. It became my coping mechanism. While it was useful at the time, I no longer feel that I need to daydream anymore. However, my daydreams have remained stuck with me, like a habit I cannot let go…

I'm reading through blogs and realising there are so many ways people daydream. Like, do you guys only have one way of daydreaming, do you have multiple, do you need music or need to be in a certain space, I'm genuinely interested!! :)
Also how else does it affect you? I mumble to myself when I walk, kind of humming the conversation in my mind. If that makes sense :)
Also, does anyone else daydream with spinning?
I know I seem really excited today haha, I'm just happy…

Hi MDers,
I just wanted to tell you that if you ever need someone to talk, I'm always there for you. Although it's super difficult for me to read other people's daydreaming stories because they usually trigger me and make me uncomfortable, I really want to help others because I'm an experienced MDer*.
So - feel free to contact me, send me friend requests,...
I promise I'll answer as soon as possible, but please be patient ;)
*In…

I have been alive for 19 years and for 3 years I have imagined that I am the richest person in the world and I have surpassed Elon Musk. My family does not support me because this disorder is unknown and they do not understand it. I have to go to university and a lot I want to study, but my thoughts are immersed in dreams
