Hello everyone :D

I'd like to tell you about myself, but its hard to know where to start, and maybe I'll get into too much detail... I'll just start. Also, please look for any "clues" or "hints" that make me sound like a Maladaptive Daydreamer to you, I'm not sure if I show consider myself one yet or not.

Ever since I can remember, I've always felt different from everyone I knew, especially most other kids my age. I'm not just a kid anymore, I'll be turning 23…

 As a MDer I have a few techniques - I would like to share with those who are in uni.

 - never study in your room

- group study if you get along with a few folks in your class

- exercise ,it clears your mind

- talk MD breaks after you have finished your study quota

-sleep on campus or in the library - try to avoid going to your room (then all bets are off)

-stay away from alarmists -they feed off fear

-believe that you  are going to…

For as long as I can remember I've lived in my head , making story's up mostly that revolve around tv shows,movies, and books but I will take there story line and go another way with it. It was never a problem to me I just never told anyone , I will normally put head phones in and blare music while I rock my body back and forth or go for long walks while I listen to music. But as I got older and married and had children, I took a break from it for about a year still doing it but no…

So, my MD has recently gotten worse. I'm almost constantly daydreaming, even if there are other people around me. It's like I can't stop. I live in a dorm now, and I always feel relieved when my roommates leave just so I can daydream. When I'm alone, no matter where I am, I always will imagine people or a person around me and talk to them, carrying out whole conversations and imagining what they'll say back to me as if they're actually there. I feel crazy, because sometimes the conversations…

The last time i was on here i was in a very bad place, I believed that things would never change, that i was crazy and i would never be able to feel anything, all i wanted was to fall asleep and dream and never wake up. It has been a few months now and a lot has changed, I wanted to give a brief update on my progress as i think it will be helpful to you all. 

I started councelling, from my first session i became suddenly aware of my issues, as the weeks passed i came…

What is it about the third week of April and some kind of tragedy? 
April 19th 1993 - Waco siege
April 19th 1995 - Oklahoma City bombing
April 20th 1999 - Columbine Massacre
April 16th 2007 - Virginia Tech massacre
April 15th 2013 - Boston Marathon bombing
Even if you go back further,the Titanic sank on April 15th 1912 and Lincoln was assassinated on April 14th 1865.

When I MD, there seems to be two kind of 'types' happening in my head. One is the long, continuous stories that pop us again and again. This mainly happens when I am alone, either listening to music and/or walking/pacing. However, when I am other people and they say something/hint at something, I often start MDing in different little scenarios, interpretating the thing they just said. These are quick little daydreams, coming one after the after. These effect me the same way my normal,…

Hyper-empathetic people feel what they see happen to others. This may explain my negative daydreams. I have noticed if I look at the story line or theme of them, I can usually go back to a news story or book or something invovling the mistreatment of women that lines up with it. I try to avoid these news stories but they are everywhere. People post photos of battered women on facebook, stories in national geo about forced marriages, rapes, women losing rights all over the world.…

Hi everyone, I have had maladaptive daydreaming since I was about 13, but I have always had fantasy worlds since I was very little. I am now 22 and I decided to try and stop this. I also have social anxiety, which is probably the main reason this has become an addiction for me. In the past I used to feel extremely empty inside when I tried to stop, but luckily I don't feel that way anymore. However, I still find virtually impossible to stop having conversations with people in my head. I know…

Hey, guys, I just found out a new way of stopping my daydreams. I used to walk fast and daydream a lot while walking, now I try to walk slowly and pay attention to the things around me intead of those in my head. My daydreams are significantly less. Can anybody also try this method and tell me if it works for them?

This week has been hectic, i mean 12 hours of work a day, Im actually pretty sad today cause as a huge Lakers fan my biggest idol Kobe Bryant took a season ending injury. He has stood as the epitomie of ambition, strength and I idolize him , just through watching him too never let your past ruin your present. So for the next week Im going to go even harder at the books to ace those finals and go hard at the gym. This year is going to be my time, at this point I feel incredible confident as I…

I've posted warnings before, but eventually they get buried, so I'm posting a reminder.  If/when you EVER get a message from someone asking you to email them at a private email, that's spam.  DO NOT EMAIL THEM, or you'll get on a spam list, and report them directly to me.  Let me know who it is and what they said.  Usually, it's something along the lines of "Hi. I really like your profile.  I have an urgent message for you.  Please email me at (insert email)."  Unfortunately, spammers are a…

I'm a completely different person in real life than I am in my daydreams. I do things I want to do but would absolutely never do in real life. I imagine my life turn out to be something that'll not only make me upset if my life turned out this way, but also my mom and my friends. I dream about partying, smoking, stealing, being with bad guys, and just being wild and having fun. In real  life, I would never do the things I daydream about. But when I grow up, have more control over my life,…

Check out this article that someone showed me.  It states that daydreaming while driving is more dangerous than texting.  Scary!  I know many of you have mentioned that you do this, so beware.  I don't want anyone on here getting into any accidents.  …
