I'm reserching for the MD radio show and want to do a show on characters. I would love to have some input from you all on what to discuss about our characters. This is what I have so far as an outline,

Are you in your Daydreams?

Where do your characters come from? TV, movies, books, real life, made up?

Do you think all the characters are some part of your own subconscious?

Has your…

After learning about MD I really started wondering about him having it. He seems to have all the signs. He has never had close friends, all thru school. He is 23 now. Introverted, stays to himself. We talked about it last night and I told him about MD and the symptoms. He says he has always been that way. But it doesn't seem to interfer with his life so much. So maybe his is not as bad. But he has epilepsy and is on meds, so it may help control his MD as well. I wish he had talked to me…

I listen to blogtalk radio allot. So I searched there for shows talking about MD. None. So I wondered about making one. So the next person who went there would find something. Kind of like Cordella's YouTube videos but no video. It would also be kind of like therapy for me. Because I have no one I can talk to about it. I think I will prerecord it but I would run the chat room live while it played. You can do 30 min slots. Just thinking out loud here. :)

Hello, everyone. I’m very happy to find this site. My MD has turned me into a bit of a hermit, so I need to interact with people who understand exactly what this is like.



I’m in my mid-40s, and I have avoidant personality disorder as well as the MD, and I’m starting to see how those two issues are linked.



I have an administrative job that pays the bills. I don’t want to risk losing my job or facing other repercussions, so I’m going by an anonymous name (no, I didn’t…

So...My Ipod was on Shuffle today, and this song came on. I was half-singing along, and then something hit me; that I could relate to the lyrics when it comes to my daydreams. Maybe this song isn't actually about MD, but that was definitely the meaning I got from it.

 

Here's the song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caENELmIXvE

 

Here are the lyrics: (I bolded the lines that stood out the most to…

    Recently my MD has been letting up. I'm able to actually go through out my school and focus on my work instead of  when i could get home to start MDing. Everything has gotten better, including my relationships with friends and family etc. Then when i think everything is starting to balance out it comes back harder that ever!…

I am blown away to find this community and other sites on MD.  I never thought that anyone else would share this most secret of things.

 

A little about me. I am in my early 40's.  I first started daydreaming as a small child - I remember being at nursery and being as happy to play by myself in my own little world as I was to play with other children in shared imaginative worlds. I don't think that was particularly maladaptive - I am an introvert so it was probably normal and…

Maladaptive Daydreaming had once been the greatest concern of my life, especially after I suddenly discovered myself addicted to this strange phenomenon(I prefer not to say disorder). All MDers are quite aware that the world hardly knows about this, and proper treatment or cure, to my knowledge is yet to come. In a personal battle with this curse, I have spent almost two years trying to rediscover myself, re-figure out what I really was. And in doing so, I confess, I couldn't overthrow the…

I have been dreaming about my own worlds and coming up with characters and plots for as long as I can remember. When I was in primary school I loved engaging in role play and fantasy with other kids. We all had our own imaginary worlds and would freely share our stories with each other. Most of them grew out of it, but I remember one friend who still worked on her world when she was a teenager. She also wrote short stories. I don´t know if her world is still "active". Although we are very…

Like all of you, I love daydreaming when I'm bored. The only time it distracts me is when I'm studying and I space out after reading 10 pages (I'm a slow reader too). Well, I'm 17 and since I was born I've always loved watching cartoons, listening to music, movies, ect. I'm an only child and for most of my childhood I watched probably about 6 if not more hours of cartoons a day. I love the colors, the stories, everything. Even to this day I love watching cartoons more than live action stuff.…

I've had MD since I can remember and never saw it as a torment, just something that made me different. Of course for many of those years I believed I had ADHD. . . I only started seeing (and accepting) the negative effects MD has in my life after seeing forums and learning what MD was (and that I had it).

 

It always came to be as a sort of  'blessing' to have the capability to imagine such vivid things. It's so much fun! I'm never bored and - wow - I can see so much! I love to…

Im Jurelle Eve 18. Hails from Cebu Philippines. I think I should be open since we all share a similar gift and do something that scares me. Just like this. Well its where a wild mind could rest right?

 

When I was young I have a lot of friends outside from school usually boys. I was the type of girl who likes to play basketball, riding my bmx with a bunch of boys, and any other rough activities for boys than playing barbie…

This is what I have been looking for, forever! I have been to 2 or 3 therapist for my depressions and been on maybe atleast 5 antidepressants. I firmly believe I should be on some meds but which one is what I don't know. I never really told anyone this but I think this and depression and anxiety has effected me for what has happened in my childhood. I clearly remember being in my room that I shared with sis, my… Continue

It's that time of year again! Cold, dreary, and dark. My mood becomes exceptionally low during these months which triggers my episodes and makes them much darker. I recall a previous post in which someone related their SAD to MD. I can see the connection. I'm personally off my anti-depressant medication right now but I'm afraid to say that I might be back on it soon. :( Can anyone else relate? God, I can't wait for spring.
