Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
i think about lots of things , being a hero or motivational speaker, or my life being more interesting than it is.
I day dream while I drive and this scares my husband because of the kids. My son knows when I day dream because he see's my lips move and tells me to stop. Pretty sad huh?

Does anyone remember the Disney channel movie "Genius"? well neither do I, but for some reason there was a line in that movie that hit me like a ton of bricks. That I have never forgotten, and has become sort of a way of life. And that is "Don't think, just do". It is both positive and negative , depending on how I use it. Weather real or fantasy, sometimes memories come back and I am overcome by the exact feelings I had at that particular moment, and it seems as if im back there again, and…

I now a lot of us feel disappointed when we fail to force our daydreams to stop, but the truth they can't be stopped that way. (If you don' t believe me, check out this article http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~wegner/pdfs/Wegner,Schneider,Carter,&White%201987.pdf.). We must find other ways to…

my bf was really depressed the other day. I dont really want to say why but he kept saying "i wish i was more like you. you're so normal."
HA.
so i decided to tell him about my md to show him how not normal I am. He was actually really interested and wanted to know more about it and my daydream and characters. He said it wasnt weird at all, and he thinks its cool that i have an escape from reality like that. I went through my sketchbook with him (hes seen it before but now…

After joining this site and knowing that there're people like me,I relaxed.I also got motivated to stop my MD,so for two days I seriously tried to control my MD,I kept myself busy with studying and had long chats with my friends but at some point it stopped being beneficial and I found myself in a suffocating routine,so I escaped to my daydreams.
How'd my life be if I stopped daydreaming?it's going to be a suffocating routine.I tried to stop because I wanted to be normal but then it…

I have seen a few times on the site that there are people who have never suffered from childhood traumas or abuse of any kind and yet are severe daydreamers. According to Dr. Eli Somer's research on MD, people who suffer from it most likely have suffered through traumatic childhood experiences and/or abuse. What are reasons for someone with a "normal" childhood to begin MDing?

A little while ago, a video popped up on my dash on Tumblr. I watched it and at first found it amusing- I had never considered the idea of someone belly dancing to techno. But I watched it. And later, I watched it again. And I saw another by the same girl, and then watched all the videos from another girl too.
And I think I've discovered my new favourite thing, and will (hopefully!) be soon learning to belly dance. And the dancing has basically taken over my daydreams (which is kind…

Hey Everyone, I haven't been on here for a long time but I've been having some deep thoughts so I was just wondering if many of you feel the same way. Do you guys ever feel as if your entire life is fake? I feel like the only place of comfort is in my own room. I go to the grocery store, I feel insecure. I feel like everyone's watching me but somehow I pull myself out of that feeling of insecurity. I feel like I can't be my true self with anybody. Nobody truly knows me. They only know the a…

right now i did not felt like studying and i was daydreaming again so that is the reason i am on this site right now writing this blog ,,,,,,,,,,coming to this site motivates me to stop daydreaming,,,,,but right now i think it is more of a excuse not to study thats it,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,
I haven't been very active on the site, even though I wanted to be. I've been really occupied with school and trying very hard to keep interest in... Well, anything. From my last blog entry, a lot has changed.
I've been diagnosed with severe General and Social Anxiety, Depressive Disorder and Panic Attack disorder. When the new Diagnosis information/book comes out on ADHD my psychiatrist and therapist would also like to discuss that possibility, since the majority of symptoms…

So yea, I think the last time I was here blogging was about 8 months ago.... It sounds like a long time but really it hasn't felt very long. Recently my days have felt like seconds and my weeks like minutes. Months have passed by and I feel like it was only just yesterday that I was here, pouring my mind out on the internet for other people to read..... So for all of those who still remember me, HI! It's been a…
ContinueI'm not sure what the generational breakdown of the members on this site are. But I'm sure that many of you share experiences of vivid fantasy role play as a child. I remember distinctly that when I was little I used to wonder if playing pretend with invisible things was a strange and abnormal thing, I also recall watching episode upon episode of Barney the purple dinosaur...remember how he encouraged kids (almost compulsively and subliminally) to use their imagination? "Barney is a purple…

okay, so I don't know how much you guys know about fandom/fanfiction terms, but I'll stick definitions in at the end. And I'll also be using them a lot, sorry.
Anyway, I realised something- My story in my head is like a book series or whatever, but most people have said that. But sometimes I have a thing where, usually when I'm reading/very recently read a book, I'll sort of integrate myself into that book in my DD, not permanently, but just do some scenes for a while and that's…

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, since most people here have MD, but I was just wondering, what do people without MD think about when they are alone, like when they are walking by themselves or driving? I have been trying to stop daydreaming in those situations but I just don't understand what else to think about. I guess in those situations it is normal to daydream?
I read something on another site where someone said they don't know how to watch…

I got a very disturbing report that some men are propositioning women for sex on here. This is completely inappropriate and will not be tolerated. This is not a porn site, and I don't want anyone (male or female) to feel sexually harassed on here. If this has happened to you, please message me immediately, and tell me who it was and what they said. You can remain anonymous. If you have done this, please stop IMMEDIATELY. Anyone sexually propositioning another member risks suspension.…
