I feel like i'm losing some of my friends because I almost always want to be locked up in my room with no distractions so I can daydream. And get me right, I want to have friends I feel kinda selfish for it but whenever I can be alone I usually want to. My other fantasy life is very important to me and I want to change it. I don't remember when I started making up another life in my head but I have an idea that it was when I was going through one of the toughest things I been…

I have been wondering about this for as long as I can remember.

Nothing helps to ease this anxiety that most people are jerks, argumentative, and critical of every fiber of my being mainly because of pure jealousy about something that has to do with me or they think that I feel like I am superior to them and they are not worth my time. I don't know. But whatever the case, ALOT of people I come across, whom I never even seen before, really seem to have it out for…

Ever wonder what exact thoughts go through a "normal" person's brain throughout the entire day, from waking up to work to coming home, etc.? I've gotten so used to the way I think, I have no idea what "normal" people think about on a regular basis. I wish I could ask someone without MD what their thoughts are 24/7 for an entire day. 

I'm suppose to be writing a paper that is due in the morning. But for some reason, I cant. There is some reason I am afraid to, and I don't know why. Especially because I know that the consequences are much worse than staying up all night to write this paper. Something ive always known about me is that hitting rock bottom isn't enough. I don't know what is. And that scares me. Im so desperate for change. I don't know why it is SO INCREDIBLY hard for me to do things that I even want to do. I…

I used to be fearful to speak about my daydreams, but i have fully emb.raced it. Nowadays, i cannot stop talking about it, despite sneering. What do i dream of? I dream of a world where aliens have discovered earth, and humans have been "enslaved".well, not really. These aliens are so intellegent, that we have become animals in their eyes. When someone is "taken" to live as pet, they become "tamed" by the tkme you are tamed, you actually love this life. J would love anyone to come up and ask…

So I often wrote about treatment and I was taking it serious for more or less a month then shit hit the fan. Now it's getting increasingly bad, so I took my phone and rang my general practitioner for a visit. I can't function, at all, I have not been able to work for more or less a month now and I just don't manage anymore. So the hunt for a therapist and a psychiatrist starts again, and I hope my gp will write me home for a few days just so I can cry out and collect myself instead of…

I believe that in order to be considered a true daydreamer, one has to be stuck in the minutia of the details of their dreams. My dreamworld is so vivid to me that I can clearly picture just walking down a street in one of my cities and know exactly what to expect. …

I don't know too much about Maladaptive Daydreaming as I've not long heard about it. I've done a bit of research on it and I think I got the main idea of what it's all about. I couldn't help but feel that when I was reading on that I'd say things like..

''That sound like me.'' or ''That's what I do.''

To be honest, I'm glad it's an actual thing because for so long I thought that I can't be the only person who does this. That there has gotta be…

OK I guess I'll just share my story with you guys. I've always been a really imaginative kid so I've always daydreamed throughout my childhood but it only started to be a problem this year. I would listen to music and stand in front of my mirror and just daydream for 2-3 hours. I would make facial expressions or even cry sometimes during these daydreams. My mom has walked in on me before and it was pretty embarassing. Since I realised tat its unhealthy for me to be doing this I have stopped…

Hi. I am obviously new to this site. Not really all that great at introductions(even in this cyber-reality known simply as the internet).

Uh....I have been trying to really figure out just what is wrong with me(mentally) ever since I was about 15. Yesterday, I think I was on the verge of a major nervous-breakdown. I only ate once the whole day at night and did not shower until way late at night(which is unusual for me even if I feel weak from my physical illnesses, because I…

Why do we daydream? Why do we make up characters and interact with them in the scenarios we choose? This question has been puzzling me for sometime and I think I now finally have an answer. As humans we thrive on human interaction, somewhere out there they're is someone at a party having the best of times. He/she is surrounded by the people they love interacting with and all is good in their minds. I think we daydream because we are lonely in a various amount of ways. Some of us truly have…

Hello

I probably should have guessed that pacing around for hours on end obsessing over events and people that exist only in my mind wasn’t normal. I did have some suspicions, but I never thought my habit of ‘thinking’ was something like MD. I’ve had an active imagination my entire life, but I don’t think it was excessive until I was about eight years old, maybe a bit younger. Nothing traumatic happened…

I made a YouTube video at the beginning of my daydreaming "cleanse." I just quit right there and then. Awhile after that video was created, I went four days without daydreaming at all and I was very productive, but then after those four days I spent six days daydreaming a lot. …

Hello fellow daydreamers,

The topic i want to discuss today is mainly subjected to as the title suggest,

First of all i'm really glad that we daydreamers have access to this website so that we can talk with each other and discuss our problems, so all the credit goes to the one who made this possible, Cordelia rose. 

Now coming to the main topic, 

There is a very thin line between your daydreaming and the…

It's now the fourth week I don't daydream anymore!

I don't know whether it is for good, there were times in my life, when very emotional things happened, that I didn't daydream for days - once I even didn't daydream for 8 months. But now nothing unusual has happened.

In the first days I had maybe 40 times a day the impulse to dd, but it had literally the taste of fake. It was, as if I saw some delicious food, and with the first bite I noticed, it is made of plastic. So I…

I'm at my third day completely dreamt away.

I am very happy on one hand because I "unlocked" a new scenario but I still feel a bit guilty and I haven't been able to work in ages. I'm also not doing a lot of meditating or yoga or eating properly so it's sort of my fault. It feels very cyclical and I don't know what is first, but generally I come to a point where I will stop eating properly (yesterday i had just fries and two days ago just a waffle), stop exercising, stop meditating and…

Darkness to Discipleship.

Ever since I was a child, my imagination has been extensive.

As a kid, I had not just one imaginary friend, but a whole tribe.

An imaginary baboon tribe.

Being a child my imagination had the freedom to run wild.

I’d write letters in baboon language

Run around the fresh green grass, leading my “tribe” to safety.

Even leave my sister to play with my imaginary friends instead.

But every child dreams, and so…

what happens when you inner world spills over into reality !!! multiple worlds and characters in time taking root in your daily thoughts until DD robs a bank.  Am I being invited into their world or worse still are they becoming my world. Reality ...when I fall into a ever fading time of it it seems unreal, I feel detached confused where have I been for the last hour day week. I journal my minds madness and have deleted and thrown away a many of journals as I read in disbelief and despair at…

Hello! Happy to have myself as a part of this community :) *virtual hugs*

Being here, I wish to write stories of my life, as being someone who loves to daydream. I daydream a lot, but fortunately I had a good control of it. I would describe myself as an imaginative person (as we all are), an introvert who thinks of things deeply, but yet simple-minded at most times.

My mind or my imagination is my secret world. And it all roots back to my…
