My head feels bigger on the inside

Does anyone here watch Doctor Who? (It's a huge trigger for me but I still watch it, LOL.) Okay, remember that one episode where The Doctor gets a distress signal from another TARDIS and ends up in a "bubble universe"? Remember how that one woman there gets possessed by the TARDIS? She asks "Is this how old people feel? Bigger on the inside?" Or maybe you don't watch Doctor Who but you play/watch Pokemon. You know how Pokeballs are really small, but they can hold enormous creatures? My point… Continue

Just wanted to let everyone know I made a Reddit community specifically for Maladaptive Daydreaming.

It only has 30 subscribers at this point in time but you have to start somewhere.  If you're interested, here's the link: r/MaladaptiveDreaming

Are Yours Funny?

Do u get answers through your day dreams? I had problems with meditating. My meditations have turned into day dreams which have ideas I need in them. They are funny, too. Perhaps that is because I have cried in my life so very much. Anybody gets answers to their problems and perhaps are funny, as well? Thanks guys. I love when you post back to me. I am not so alone in the world now that I have you guys.

Confusing feelings of identity--and the trade off of daydreaming for another obsession

I'm slipping. I'm losing touch with reality. And it all started with an innocent video.

I think everyone's daydreams play out like movie scenes. Often times for me, I do something similar with music and create a music video, both in my head and while I'm acting it out. Sometimes, this leads to me making actual videos of me dancing or doing whatever. The most recent urge to do this started on Thursday when I filmed some scenes of me doing my version of a particular song.

I…

How Do You Keep Focused On Important Tasks?

Recently my MD has been preventing me from not only doing things like schoolwork but also things that I actually enjoy doing. For example, I'm on a five day break from school so I decided to get a start some books I bought myself a little while ago. I used to read so quickly and now I can barely get through a page without distracting myself. What are some tips to stay focused? No pills or anything though haha I'd rather focus naturally

Stasis

Everything around me is keeping me where I am. That means my job, my acquaintances, my thinking. I have been brought to many realizations, and I don't know if that has made my MD lessen because I can't hide in my alternate reality or because I don't have the same use for my alternate reality. Aspects of my job have genuinely sucked for a couple of years now. Since a good portion of my MD is replaying things that have actually happened, I have spent a great deal of time 'fixing' scenarios in my… Continue

Can't sleep

I've been physically exhausted since 8pm. But it's 2AM now, and I'm still awake. Thankfully, I've been somewhat productive during this random bout of mental energy. Well, I wouldn't call it that. Perhaps just mental unrest. That unsettled feeling that won't allow you to sleep. 

I haven't daydreamed today. But that's possibly irrelevant. I'm distracted by my desperation in my current job search. But I'd rather be evicted from my apartment than go back to the job I was just at.…

"Rocking"

I know that having MD you probably have some sort of repetitive movement that you do. Mine is HANDS DOWN rocking my head!! I've done it since I could remember. I remember being young and my parents thinking I was crazy and taking me to a doctor. I think I was so young that I didn't realize that I was daydreaming. "Rocking" my head also gets me to concentrate super well. In school I would rock my head at my desk and do schoolwork at the same time and never got dizzy. I was always super…

cause of MDD

I think the cause of MDD is the need to control things. In real life, you cant control anything. But in your dreams, you can be all that you want to be. And nothing is in your way.

Childhood a daydream?

I don't know why it is, but my Maladaptive Daydreaming seems to have become more active lately. I think there is a good link between it and the events that are going on in my life. I've been having issues with my girlfriend lately and I'm scared about university. I am desperately trying to spend time with my family but sometimes it seems like they aren't fussed to which I'm guessing is fuelling my MD.

Tonight I'm particularly sad. I don't know why I've taken this to heart…

Why the world needs to know about MDD

I just saw the trailer of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It came to me that we should make it common knowledge that MDD is a thing. I also watch Ellen, and so many things flew into my mind. We could send a message to her about us. It would fit in with her show perfectly, someone, like Cordellia (you are the poster child, after all) could come on the show, and talk about MDD. Of course, my fame seeking self would love to go, but who would believe a 15 year old? Anyways, my mind s blown,…

Boy Sorcerer

Abysmal, abysmal, abysmal.

Is the hole in my heart,

Little keeps me going, moving,

All makes me fall apart,

My words are dark,

I speak of monsters, who are born in pain but fall from the earth in mere seconds.

Because I like the 'monsters'. I like their short life. I like their deformities wholly and purely in love. They are human but treated as anything but. A bore is mine- life without deformation. The carvers of the land are boring me with their ugly faces. The… Continue

Negative Daydreams III

I try to explain to Malcolm X that I'm not a gold digger, but I that speak in defense of women who are.  Men are allowed to use women for sex but women aren't allowed to use men for their money.  That's not fair.  So he forces me to get married.  I say I would rather be independent.  He says I told you so.  He says ok then!  As in worry about yourself.  I'm a feminist so I worry about other women.

Negative Daydreams II

Malcolm X is following me everywhere.  He's breathing down my neck.  He's interrogating me about my religion.  He keeps interrupting me.  He says he doesn't respect me.  I think he doesn't respect me because I'm different.  We're watching feminist porn.  He says what's the difference between that and regular porn.  I try to explain to him that for one thing with feminist porn the women are the producers and more importantly they have orgasms whereas in regular porn the women are faking it.…

The Melancholy of Literati Boy

It is a shame now, to think of hate sadness or pain,

To think of killing or beating or being beat or to maim,

Yet with all stories comes confliction and hate,

With all dreams comes evil we have to face,

Even if these things are not appearant,

They still exist even in the translucency of this fake world's farceness,

Because our worlds are like books and movies,

Who is to say the greatest writers were not to burdened as we are now,

Because our worlds can be… Continue

New here

I'm not sure if I actually have this. Most of you seem to be a lot more severe than me.



This is my story and it's quite personal: I've been daydreaming for a long time. Probably since elementary school. My parents told me I was in "left field" back then. It never impacted my studies I just wasn't focused. When young, my daydreams were short and not that intense.



I was diagnosed with ADD in 7th grade after having a bad second half of that year. The medication I was on… Continue

Using Bitstrips to Create Cartoon Versions of Characters and Scenes of my Daydreams

Hi everyone,

   I am Jennifer and I am 16 years old. I have been part of this site for two years now, and I thought I would share with you something I thought was really cool: I use Bitstrips to create cartoonized versions of my characters and to create important scenes of my daydreams. I cartoonized all of my characters as I imagined them, and they turned out…
