Okay, I'm actually freaking out. So there's this guy on youtube that I and many others have been arguing with. And he made multiple fake accounts to make it seem like there were a lot of people on his side. And then I commented saying "I guess Multiple personalities wasn't as rare as I thought."   He commented back saying "

"How about sex addiction and MD disorder? How rare are they?

I'll tell you.

Only the truly degenerate or those who have been traumatically…

A little off topic in a way. I was looking thru the latest "W" magazine, I do this for research on trends and such for work. And I was overwhelmed at the utter lack of reality. As someone with Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder I have my own issues with reality but it seems this delusion IS their reality. Looking at the super thin models striking strange poses in bizarre outfits that you most likely couldn't walk in, and the photos of the designers hanging out with celebrities at parties. I…

 It was 10.30 pm in clock and I was in my friends room, which was my x-room and suddenly I decided to shift my 7-8 books, which I never shifted to my room,bcz, there is holiday tomorrow, so I could return them to shopkeeper and borrow new ones for my this semester exam.

Two girls were talking when I was about to carry that pile of books to my room and one of them said-"what a show off!". Well, I really didn't understand her comment. The whole hostel is busy doing their own…

I'm a 46 yo divorced single mom of 2 kids.  My marriage was the first relationship with a man that I ever had.  A year and a half ago, I started dating a guy (again), (long story there), and it was going great!  We get along so well, have so many of the same interests, viewpoints, opinions, etc.  We never fought (though he thought I should lose my love handles...even though I lift and run 5 miles several times/week)...so my boyfriend was the 2nd relationship I ever had.  On Valentines Day,…

Feelings that the lives of everyone around you are progressing/have progressed much faster than yours? While you have been wasting away in you're MD world...

Surprise at how far people your age or younger have come with their life experiences compared to you, in the same amount of time or less?

I feel like this a lot... :C

Things like...

                Welcome to my island. You’re on a beach. The sand is golden, the still sea, rich with light blues, greens and turquoises; it’s shallow enough to walk through. The beach is small, twenty or thirty yards, perhaps. My own private island. Behind the beach is the towering cliff face of a plateau. Atop the plateau is a lush field of soft, springy grass with a few flowers hither and thither. The plateau divides the islands up into sections, each with its own…

Along with MD, I've been noticing other things about me. For example, this has been going on ever since I was young. I would be obsessed with a certain topic for a month or two, and along with wasting my time daydreaming, I would spend hours researching about that topic. This phase will typically last for a month or more and at times my dds might also be based on this theme. The various topics that I've been obsessed with are psychology and different disorders especially MD, the…

Woosh! The room was rather in a puzzling state and I for all I could do was stare in an awe-struck trance at the glowing and shining of the lights. I had just simply pranced in to find a cascade of ruby, turquoise, and gold circles flying around the room. The way the lights circled around the room was in a random non-particular way that just flopped around everywhere. Never once had I…

I do have the symptoms of MDD, but I must admit that I think MDD is a symptom of other mental illnesses like Anxeity, Schziphrenia, ADHD, and possibly aspergers. I think in my case it is anxiety because most of my MDD's are negative thoughts that overcome my mind and my body is overwhelmed and acts out these thoughts. When I was younger I would get caught talking to myself, so as a cure I would only talk to my self when I was walking through the neighborhood thinking no one would notice. Now…

I daydream about real people. Sometimes, I make up a person, but that is usually to enhance my story line. I have been DD about a certain person for some time now, and in the last few days I have found myself changing to another person, but that person is "somewhat"connected to the other person. I know the first person, but haven't seen them in a very long time, but I have only seen pictures of this next person. I swear, I think I am losing my mind. It's almost like I am obsessed with all…

The following was emailed to me from Jayne Bigelsen:

                  NEW STUDY ON MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING





Researchers from Fordham University (Jayne Bigelsen, Jonathan

Lehrfeld) and the University of Haifa (Eli Somer, who coined the term

Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD)) have joined forces to launch a new study on MD.   We are now ready to begin data collection!



This will be the largest study on MD to date. Our goals include

creating a…

I haven't been on this site for very long, but it seems like most people daydream of a better life, or of being better. Some have an idealised version of themselves, a dream crush, or both. I can see why that's addicting, living inside an amazing world with amazing people.

My daydreams aren't like that. I have no idealised version of myself, no better life, and no dream crush. The easiest way to describe my daydreams is dark. Every daydream I have is filled with violence, betrayal,…

I really am surprised to find this site I have suffered from this problem along time as well since childhood, but even worse when I day dreamed my mouth would move in real life when I was talking to someone in my daydream, this was very embrassing because people would notice. I am 25 and I have finally mastered to day dream without my lips moving. recently my day dreams have been evolved around this new job i started in my actual real life its a really good job too.…

Okay......many people on this site have suggested a few things to me to try out myself to stop MD. but its an extremely difficult task. I think a therapy would be much more effective. So here are a few questions, answers to which solve my doubts.

1. Is there a therapy available for MD?
2. MD is not an officially recognized disorder. At least I don't think doctors in India know about it. Will the doctor be able to understand what I'm going through and give me proper treatment?…
