How can I get rid of dizziness and headaches from daydreaming, I feel like I'm floating inside the planet Jupiter

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…

کافکا عزیزم اگر پیام منو میبینی برام آیدی تلگرام یا ایمیل ات رو برام بفرست 

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 ;)

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

Hello MDers,

My name is Marta and I have been a maladaptive daydreamer for 7 years. It has destroyed me. My career, my relationships, my ability to socialise. Everything has been affected. 

I came to WildMinds to seek solace and maybe chat with some people around the globe who also suffer from MD. I have never met anyone in my life who suffers from MD, so I felt so so alone in this, and misunderstood. 

I have therefore decided to start an online…

I posted this on the forum first but then realized maybe it should go here? I don't know haha, pardon my confusion. 

Hi everyone! I see there's some activity here so I'm sure some of you will read this eventually.

My name is Natasha and I'm soon to be 24 years old. I have recollections of MD since I was 7 years old, but I probably started doing it before that.

I guess like many of you I had a very lonely childhood, I'm an only child and I have no cousins or…

It's been 7 years of being a maladaptive daydreamer.

It started during high school. My parents had gotten divorced, I hated how I looked physically, I had been bullied enough to have to change of school, and my sister, who was my biggest friend, left home to study abroad. I felt completely lonely and disgusted every time I looked at myself in the mirror. I had massive acne breakouts, I never fully developed "as a woman is supposed to" and people made fun of my small breasts and how…

When I was 7, my parents divorced. While I don't remember if it affected me or not, I do remember developing MD in that same year. It helped me a lot to distract from everything, and I built up this persona in my mind where I had freedom and power. 

As I grew older, my MDs made me feel like I was invincible. This took a hit to my social skills and awareness, and led me to get bullied once I entered high school. I thought that if I became my persona in my daydreams, the everyone would…

Hi, I signed up for this thing a while ago but I thought it was dead so I didn't end up using it. But hey, here I am!

I developed MD when I was 7, and it's still around today. I usually use writing and art as a way to express my experiences with it. As much as I appreciate it for helping me through rough times, I kinda want it gone. It's taken up so much of my time, my goals, my social life, and it's been getting worse lately, even though I feel happy. I was hoping to find some people…

سلام

شاید نتوانم انگلیسی را درست تایپ کنم، زبان مادری من نیست، مرا ببخشید، من در سنین پایین خیلی خیالبافی را تجربه می کردم، اما اخیراً آنقدر شدید شده است که حتی نمی توانم تمرکز کنم، دوستان من فکر کن من یک احمق هستم آنها مضطرب هستند

I have been a daydreamer for most part of my life. Childhood trauma kicked in and i did not have any choice.  I am active but i have distanced myself from the society. I did not concentrate on my career, I never had a girl friend all i have is an imaginary girl, I want to break this cycle by having a girlfriend,  But in India it is hard to find one. A one side love and rejection is only making this worse day by day. A good part of my life is wasted on daydreaming, Yet i am coming back and…

Has anyone tried Abilify (aripriprazole) or Quetiapine (seroquel) with any success?  TIA
