An example of what others see when we MD

https://youtu.be/XUEfIP4wwMs

This video shows exactly what we do when we MD. Lot of times, my mum and brother have caught me in this stage. Lot of other videos too in this channel about MD. Worth checking it out, y'all.

I'm struggling to process but happy to be here! (UK)

[Trigger warning: mentions sexual abuse].

Hello lovely people! It's so great to meet you all.

I found out I had MD last night, despite having it all my life. I had a very intense reaction as so many things made sense suddenly, but it is also validating because now I know for sure that I'm not making up any of my problems, going "crazy" etc. And I am so grateful to know that I am not alone anymore. 

But I am finding it very difficult dealing with the knowledge that MD is…

Slipping back ... ?

Lately I've been falling back into my old habits with MD... I thought I had gotten over it, but the way school has going and the fact that I recently made some OCs that are always on my mind isn't exactly helping... I can't say for sure if it will be as bad as it as before (I can't remember large swathes of the period of time when my MD was at its worst) but I'd rather not return to it at all. I find myself zoning out in class into the new universe in my head, and my grades are suffering…

My experience so far with MD

For me, it's mostly focused on better versions of me with input taken from real life as well as parts of who I actually am.



Eg: 2 to 3 years ago, My daydreams were focused on a version of me who's a successful E-sports player and lives independent, very physically fit and good at dating. Now it's more focused on dream scenarios involving a certain lady I've had feelings for. And real life incidents have added to the daydreams. Eg: a friend's marriage in real life led me to imagine… Continue

In a Maze

When I was doing MD, I thought it was awesome. It lulled me into complacency and I'd spend hours staring away into a fuge, with glowing hopes things will eventually go my way. Unfortunately, it dug me into a deeper hole. Nobody knew my satisfaction as I have, but they didn't understand why my eyes had a distant stare, why I moved funny, didn't talk much and why I almost wasn't ever listening. It clearly proved to them that I was in another world. To myself, I believed I can do…

Putting myself in one's shoes

I tend to be inspired by people from movies and TV series, and often wish I had their lives and personas. I know  for sure that I'm not those characters. I don't have their skill sets, minds, looks and their coolness. I work remotely at home, and it can be very boring, so sometimes I imagine myself as a doctor or computer programmer in a science fiction action film. 



Sometimes when I get out there and do what I like, it's still a challenge, because I'm an extremely quiet…

daydreaming block?

I wonder if anyone else with MD struggles with this, too, but sometimes I have trouble finding something to think about. Like how an artist has an art block. Majority of the time I can easily find a story to entertain me, and when I do I'll often spend hours daydreaming just about it, and sometimes I'll even continue it for days or even weeks afterwards. But every now and again I just feel kind of drained where I can't think of anything. I still have this, kinda like an intense urge, to go…

Why I stopped

I used to think MD was cool. Kind of like when someone smokes. I was a young kid, and didn't know what harm MD can actually do. I did believe that MD was assuring me that life will get better and adventurous, at that. So I looked forward to experiencing an amazing life. What I didn't realize is that MD was lying to me the whole time. It didn't promise anything of the sort. It was just a sequence of entertaining stories in my head that kept me going. I have noticed while I was doing…

Looking for a study/work partner who is in the same boat as I am!

I have been daydreaming ever since I was a kid- different fantacies at different stages in life. Ultimately this impacted my social life, my observation skills, my personality and my studies. I did manage to score good marks, but I alone know how much I struggled to focus. I have discussed this with my family, but no one seemed to take this seriously.

I have often felt alone, felt like I was the only one with this issue. I was surprised to learn that there are so many sailing on this…

Does you feel like you're not maturing correctly because of MD?

Hi everyone, how are you all doing ??

Today I was thinking about how my MD condition interrupts me strongly in my "maturing". I feel like it blocks me from doing work and other "real life" responsabilities. Almost as if it'll keep me in an infantile behavior for so long and I just cant break free from this...

I dont trust myself anymore because all my doings are interrupted by Daydream, out of my control...

And I feel so bad to be like this, I dont produce, I'm a adult and I wish… Continue

What do "normal" people think about?

Hey all, like so many of you, I've been working on stopping daydreaming. But one obstacle I've found is I don't know what thoughts are considered "normal".
Like, when I'm busy it's not always easy, but its easier, to not daydream. But what do people who don't daydream do when they have nothing to do?
What happens in their head while they are waiting in a queue or stuck in traffic?

How do I stop that

Hii
im Daydreaming between 3 up to 6 hours a day. I dont even know when this all started. I always did that and thought it would be normal and now I realised that it isn't. I cant have a normal conversation, without asking twice what they saying. I am struggling to learn for exams or even my final exam in a month and a half.I always get distracted by my own world and I dont know how to escape.

Meus devaneios

Quando era criança eu sofria Bullying e exclusão social por causa da minha aparência e eu sempre ficava sozinha e ficava devaneando a outra vida com muitos amigos que me ama e gostam de mim, hoje meus devaneios aumentaram e os devaneios me ajudam no dia dia ( me ajuda á pensar melhor e resolver os meus problemas ) e até hoje eu sofro bullying e exclusão social , nada mudou.

Anxiety Attack During Daydream

Hi, this is my first blog post. I joined a while ago but I've been too nervous to use the website.

I wanted to share an experience that I had a couple nights ago that kind of scared me.  I normally listen to music while daydreaming at night, typically very late into the morning (sometimes up until after 6 am). Sometimes I think about very sad things that cause me to stay awake.

I was having one of those *moments*- if that's what I should call it- when I was daydreaming about…

Can't fix my sleep cycle due to daydreams

I have problem getting up before completing my sleep, whenever I stay up late and then try to get up from sleep with a help of an alarm, i first get into consciousness and then tell myself how am going to get up from my bed after I have this daydream session only to find myself fall unconscious due to sleep again. Then even If I don't sleep during the daydream session I can't get off the bed and do my 'really mandatory work' in real life before spending the time on my bed enslaved to these… Continue
