Hi there,

about 3 months ago somebody mentioned ADD to me, I read about it and discovered I had every trait associated with it except for one: often being too late at appointments. It still does happen to me that I forget about one, but it's rare. Here are the other traits:

-concentration problems

-motivation problems

-being dreamy or thinking a lot

-(therefore) being more passive

-trouble making choices

All these things are…

(General Caesar North, the last real hope for restoring the Union)

My daydream's plot is getting more and more complex. I've added over 20 new minor and maybe major characters to the current events going on in the Western Union.

(These…

I was given the number 15.  Like and/or comment on my status, and I will give you a number. Here are 15 little-known and/or "interesting" things about me: 

1) I've spent most of my life in a fantasy world, which has given me a unique perspective on life.

2) I have 9 tattoos and plan to get more. I have my cats' portraits tattooed on my arms.

3)I've almost died multiple times, and my friend and apartment manager both saved my life when…

My most recent daydreams have been permeated by this country called the Western Union, formed over 1000 years after the fall of the United States by a Kennedian merchant who wanted a "wall" between the FSK and the unknown west. The merchant brought together over 30 small republics and tribes in the North American Great Plains region to form a long and narrow nation whos…

The show is called WireTap.  It will air in Canada this weekend and in the US in a few months.

In the meantime, you can check out the episode online.  The episode is about the ideal self.  My portion is 6-7 minutes long.  I spoke to them for waaaay longer, but the portion they kept is really well-done.  They were so nice and fun to talk to.  

Have a listen, and feel free to share it with anyone you want!…

Its been a while since I've been on here, so hello again!

Things have gone way downhill for me, my life is a mess. I am behind on everything and worst thing is I'm not panicked when I should be. I can't bring myself to do school work or attend to any of my obligations (even the ones I love). For the past two months I've literally been wasting away -  and just getting by. I'm really struggling, MD anxiety everything, I barely got my college applications in on time, I couldn't bring…

I already stopped counting how many times I pushed the 'Add Blog Post' button.  I must have produced thousand words so far; they disappeared as soon as they appeared, those cripple words which my thoughts did not want to embody, and which, therefore, my fingers mercilessly erased. I have never liked the beginnings, those first steps, first words which have never been truly first. 

Anyway.

Since I can remember I have never been alone.

Since I can remember I have…

Hi all,

I was wondering what your best ways to handle MD in your day to day lives are?

I am struggling to minimise my daydreaming and I do not want it to take over my life.

It can help and be a source of creativity, comfort and escape but I would like to hear some

suggestions of how to fantasize less so I can enjoy the moments and people around me, if you have any...

Thanks guys and have a good day! :)

Unfortunately, when I told my therapist about my daydreams more likely to be a second life in my mind, she didn't take me serious. She simply passed on to another topic. But I think I have to explain things further next time, e.g. crying when my main character experiences some bad stuff, laughing and even talking to myself while daydreaming. I will print out some information about MD and show my therapist.

Sometimes I am in control of my MD but as soon as I play one video game (since…

(this  is a rough sketch of Amanda Prophet, one of my most interesting characters.)

When I daydream, some times I make up weird or eccentric people. The girl pictured above, Amanda Prophet, is no exception. Her story begins right when the massive disease hits, (go back to my other posts to learn more) when she loots this empty house for…

For the past two years I've been stuck in the same spot in my daydream--in a massive war. I don't even know which side should win, and don't get me started on how...

I basically have an evil monarchy/power hungry dictatorship on one side vying to restore the power of the former United States, using brutal tactics to get things done. This king is related to the American queen earlier (look at my drawings and other posts to catch up) he and his army steamrolled through the…

Questionnaire about Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder

This questionnaire, that takes about 5 minutes to complete, aims to collect some information about your experience as a person suffering from Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder (MDD). The questionnaire also seeks to collect experiences from people who are not suffering from MDD, which would act…

Hi,

I have no negative feelings on my day dreaming. I suggest everybody with this habit to think positive about it. If you think negative about a behaviour it can eat you up. Making friends with a habit is the best way to overcome it. I control my dual state of mind by chanting meditation. I feel I am blessed as I am able to handle two states of mind together. All the best for fellow members

So... according to my English teacher said, i think i might have an inferiority complex. I know that every time i daydream, i always imagine myself to be much taller, beautiful, skinny, and popular than my real self. I think this is what caused my daydreaming in the first place. Whenever something doesn't go as planned, i imagine a different outcome. It makes me feel much happier until i realize it isn't true. I can distinguish between whats real and whats not but the fantasy world is just…

Hello. So ive been daydreaming for years now and i just found out recently that is was a "disorder". I had no idea there was a whole community of people with the same issue and im glad i now have people who can relate. If theres anyone who ever wants to talk, id be glad. I am very shy and antisocial if you met me in person. When i was younger i used to think i was crazy. I used to think i wasnt normal because it has alway been really hard for me to make friends. You guys have no idea how…

Hello there friends daydreamers! I've built up a quick questionnaire about your experience as having Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder, the main purpose of this questionnaire is basically to gather statistics and better understand the disorder. You can answer the questionnaire and other people who doesn't suffer from MDD can fill it too, so we can actually establish comparisons! This questionnaire is totally anonymous, there is no way for us to know your identity. 

Thanks a lot for your…

I need help. My friend who works with me has convinced me that he doesn't have all the answers and I need to talk to someone who can help me better than him. The thing is I live in a small isolated native community and there is no help for me here. I leave town 2-3 times a year. Does anyone know of any online resources I could take advantage of? Or is there anyone on here willing to talk to me to try to find what's really making me feel like my life is worthless? At this point in my life I'm…

(one of the earliest drawings I did when I was 10)

So basically I've had the same daydream for the past ten years. The first thing I imagined was a magnificent flying warship in the skies. Ever since, I built around hat concept. By the time of 5th grade I had a nice plot going, with things being added left and right.…
