So I came across the idea of MD in an article on Yahoo by Penny White. After Googling it reading half a dozen articles and checking the symptoms I’m pretty sure I have it. I’m not too good at writing online or typing things up in general. I went to the cyber café twice but deflected from doing anything. I don’t have access to the net on my laptop which I just started using so I am not able to type online but it forces me to start typing so it was a boon in guise I guess.

I realized I…

Hey there

I was just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with headaches? Not migraine level headaches, just kind of normal, achy ones. I've gotten them for a long time, and I've never had any health or eyesight troubles. I just wondered if this could be an effect from the almost constant daydreaming?    

hi! sorry for the absence and lack of replies to comments (I'll get on it soon)-- I've moved over a thousand miles away to college and settled into my dorm.

it's weird, since I came here I haven't had more than a passing urge to daydream. maybe it's because I've been busy (moving in, six hour figure drawing workshops, dorm shopping, etc) or maybe it's because I've already accepted that my means of daydreaming is shot. everything here is super social. I have three roommates in a full…

Hi there.

    I just thought it was about time for me to finally let it out. After all, I did come onto this site to find support, and I guess I need to tell you guys about myself for that to work. I know this post is kinda long but... please bear with me. This is kinda scary cause I've never ever ever told ANYONE about any of this stuff. Like a lot of people on this site, I thought i was the only one to experience the way more than normal daydreaming. It really does make me feel…

Hey guys! Been awhile since I've been on here. Well, last night while at the movies I saw this trailer about this guy who spends most of his time daydreaming. I think i was the only person in the theatre who was all syked out about the trailer. =P

Anyways, Its called the "Secret Life of Walter Mitty." Im actaully looking foward to seeing it. I just wanted you guys to know about it. =)…

In other words, if see you movement "strange" or "anxious".

My trigger is the music and the video games (but the second is less important) but read a book... really get me anxious.

I've noticed I’ve had more anxiety than my peers for most of my life.

I've have these speech problems and I believe it has something to do with how inflamed or swollen my tongue is.  I take pills with magnesium and vitamins C-D to relieve the inflammation and it usually helps a lot.  I think the cause is do too stress being caused by  my MD.

This is another non-MD story, so forgive me.  It's just on my mind.

I just looked over my budget, and while things are tight, it looks like I'm still on track to be able to afford Grendel's surgery within a couple of months, if the vet will still let me do a payment plan, and I think they will.  I'm saving slowly.  They gave me 2 amounts, a minimum and a maximum.  I'm saving up for the minimum amount, and then I'm going to ask them to do the maximum on a payment plan.…

i have had BAD social anxiety for almost two years, after finding out that my group of friends secretly hated me because i was annoying. (i'm in high school.)  i only leave the house when i absolutely have to (in the summer, it was only about once a week). when i do leave the house, i don't like to talk because i'm afraid of annoying people, and i can't stop thinking "don't look at me don't look at me" because i hate the way i look. i try my best to avoid social situations, and i have almost…

I’m sorry I haven’t posted or done a radio show, or youtube video for weeks. I am not functioning well right now. I’m in one of those phases where I am so desperate for an answer, for help, for escape from this curse in my mind. That I get depressed and hopeless. Unable to do little more then put one foot in front of the other…

This blog has nothing to do with Maladaptive Daydreaming, but I want it to be out there in case anyone Googles it, like I did, and wants to know about the procedures.  

As many of you on here know, I've been suffering from GERD for many years, and it has gotten to the point where it has become unbearable, and simple over-the-counter Prilosec wasn't working anymore.  I went to the doctor and was prescribed a double dose of Prilosec.  This helped somewhat, but I still had a lot…

A year ago I left my husband after only 3 years of being together (dating + marriage) because he was abusive. Before this relationship, I had always thought of myself as a strong and intelligent woman who would have never allowed a man to treat me bad. Ever since, I have been on an inward journey determined to make the most of and learn as much as possible from my experience.

Recently, I've been working through a book, Is It Love Or Is It Addiction?, that has provided much…

Hello all,

I know that childhood trauma is highly correlated with incidence of MD. What is your personal experience? Do you think your MD was more-so encouraged by events that took place in your life, or do you feel that you were born with a predisposition to daydream?

My parents fought a lot as I was growing up, but I have other family members who did not turn out like me... so it is a confusing pile to sort!  Thanks!

I have DD about a story line for almost a year. I was completely obsessed with it. The characters are real people, but I do not live near the people anymore and never see them and no chance of seeing them ever again. 

Now I have a new story line coming on and it also involves a real person. It's CRAZY or I am one. I find myself not only DD about this person and making up this elaborate story line involving them, but I also find myself being obsessed with this person. I also see this…

Hello, friends. 

Ever since I was young, two activities became my daily "bread and butter", so to speak; walking and daydreaming. Granted, I can walk without daydreaming, and I can certainly daydream without walking. But only when I combine the two does the experience become truly satisfying.

In my mind's eye, I'm strong. I'm proud. I'm clever. And most importantly, I never lose. Everything is always under control. One would probably be right to say that my idealized version is…
