How had MD effected your intimate relationships? Does your significant other know? Can you share your struggles with this disorder with your partner?

I always knew that i daydreamed to much, but today I googled it for the first time. What a surprise to see that so many people have the same problem. And even the symptoms are the same. I want to start my blog with an introduction. I want to tell you my story in several parts

part 1 - who am I

part 2- daydreaming as a child

part 3 - what I daydream about now

part 4 - connection with other addictions

So here it goes…

Well, probably not that tiny... I babble a lot.

Hello everyone.

My name is Sabrina, I'm a 24 year old art student in Texas, and I have just discovered... everything in terms of Maladaptive Daydreaming yesterday morning. I don't understand why I didn't search sooner, but now I'm here.

It all started when I was a child, maybe 5 or 6 years old. I had imaginary friends, began making up stories in my head and would…

For as long as I can remember, I have lived (mentally) in some kind of fantasy world that mostly involved characters from anime or cartoons. In recent years it has gotten much more complex, consuming and addictive, developing into full blown MD (I didn't realize that there was a name for this until a few years ago). I fantasize about being an imaginary character who is basically who I wish I was in real life. I fantasize about going on fantasy quests and adventures with friends, achieving a…

What do people think of this idea?  Do you think there are enough of us out there or registered on this website?  Can we  form self help groups of at least 5 or more in our city or local region?  Meetup.com would be a useful website for this.  What are your thoughts?

I've had romantic daydreams about idealized crushes for years. When I'm in an intense romantic DD, it can feel incredibly real. When I'm lounging around or lying in bed I'll imagine cuddling with an imaginary lover, gazing into each others' eyes, kissing or whispering sweet nothings and it's like I can really feel him there. It's like I can almost physically sense his love for me and mine for him. And those types of DDs leave me wondering, is that what love is supposed to feel like in real…

**MAY CAUSE UNWANTED TRIGGERS**

Hi, so I was wondering how many people on here started to daydream or daydream excessively after something tramatic happened to them. I know this can be a rather touchy topic, but I am honestly curious and mean no harm.

I naturally assumed my excessive daydreaming was nothing serious and later on found out it was more of a coping thing for me and my soical anxiety. I…

Some of mine have names, and some don't. It seems completly random. Sometimes when I first start forming a character, I'll come up with a name that seems to fit perfectly, and it will just stick. But other times, I don't even realize that the character has no name, until I'll be imaging a dialog scenerio, and suddenly I'll be like, uh, oops. My main character has no name. I've tried to pin several on her, but they never stick. Somehow I feel like she doesn't need a name. Does anyone else do…

do you base them off celebrities or people?

because i do.........

i find it kind of hard to make up a persons face and what not so i base them off of celebrities and people ive seen

but over time i will kind of forget what the celebrity looks like so my character kind of looks like their own person.



anyway i thought id be interesting and post a picture of a celebrity that one of my charcaters is based off of.…

I have taken time to read a lot of blog posts on this site and read people's stories.

It almost comforts me to know that there are people here that encourage each

other and can relate because we all know what maladaptive daydreaming feels

like. One thing is true, we all daydream because we are missing something in…

          ive heard of drawing you characters but everytime ive tried i felt really uncomfortable drawing them for some reason. i can get them to look the way i want to so i hate the drawing. i have them all in my drawer and im hoping one day my mom isnt like "lol whos this" because that would be awkward.



           but in art we got an assigment to make a sculpture of a person out of clay, and then were going to paint them and stuff, and i was excited because im going to make one…

Small victories can go a long way. Instead of trying to tackle all of my goals, I have started to focus on little things here and there. Slowly, I think they are starting to make a difference.

For a while now I have been interested in cake, cupcake, and cookie decorating and designing. It started when the food network challenges became popular and I was drawn in by the creations each of the chef's did with food. I love food, especially sweets. I have been watching several baking blogs…

Hi there.  I'm Amber and am a mid-30's Mom.   Speaking about this at all is awkward because I don't think I've ever told anyone about this ever.  I'm actually quite sure I haven't. Imagine my surprise when I got the idea to google daydreaming and I came across a site about MD which in turn lead to this site. 

I fit the description of MD quite well.  I remember doing it as a child and its never really stopped.  I am an only child and as a kid I used to pretend to be a teacher…

I'm  Canadian- which I choose to think means I have winter in my veins. The last few months have been kind of lacking the winter chill that I'm used to , but it's back and with a vengence.

A segment from an article on the weather network:

"Cold Arctic air has invaded much of Alberta and will bring temperatures of minus 31 to 39C (-23.8 to -38.2Fahrenheit)  overnight. These temperatures combined with winds of 15 to 20 km/h will give wind chills of minus 40 to 50 (-40 to -58…

    Okay, well, to start off, I don't believe I ever properly introduced myself. I am Jennifer, and I'm 14 years old, and I am kind of a rookie to all of this. To be honest, I am not even sure if I actually have MD, or is it just all in my head? The thing that really throws me off is that I don't exactly "Daydream." I act them out; like, walk around, talk, make gestures, and even laugh and cry as if my fantasies are actually happening in front of my eyes. No one I know knows about this. My…

So, I had this poem that I wrote years ago, and completely forgot about until I was thinking about trying to write again. I searched through my notebooks but couldn't find it and then I remembered that a friend of mine saw it and asked if he could use it for a song/spoken word type thing. I said yes so I thought he might have still had it on his computer and he did!

So he emailed it to me and as I read it, I realized how close it  hit home with my daydreaming (back before I ever knew…
