I'm curious if anyone else experiences these symptoms.

1. Impatience

(When dealing with people, and the rules of the world. I find myself rushing people to finish what they're saying. I sometimes finish their sentences for them. I just don't feel like waiting for people to talk, take action or whatever it is they're doing)

2. Psychic or 6th Sense. A supreme feeling of being smarter than "normal" people. Premonitions, predictions,…

I applied at the post office a few weeks ago, took the postal exam and passed but I didn't think they would select me. I usually don't get call backs because of poor work history or I get scared and punk out of scheduled interviews. In the past, I always got distracted by daydreams and missed job opportunities. I used to have a major fear that employment would take up too much time. I feared I wouldn't be able to daydream and it would make me miserable and I'd quit. Instead of finding out if…

Transgress |transˈgres; tranz-|

verb [ trans. ]

infringe or go beyond the bounds of (a moral principle or other established standard of behavior) : ex. "she had transgressed an unwritten social law | [ intrans. ] "they must control the impulses that lead them to transgress."

Maybe we're supposed to be talking to actual people and not creating people to act like we're talking to (or thru). If you've read any of my other post you know that I grew up with siblings who…

I noticed there are similarities in both the addictions of daydreaming and playing video games. Just as a kid will whine or even have a tantrum over you walking in front of the tv or, God forbid, BREAK his beloved Xbox, so do I get very annoyed/angry at whoever knocks on my front door and interrupts my daydreaming or building of daydreams. I'm forced to hit pause and I must remember where I left off when I return. 

What's troubling is how sometimes gamers die from playing too much.…

I receive a small sum (less than $1000 a month) from Social Security. Not for MD, they still haven't got the memo on what it is, but I receive social security for being mentally "ill". I want to encourage anyone who thought of applying, but changed their mind. I was awarded benefits long before I even knew MD by name. The Social Security Administration based their decision on how likely I was able to hold a job.  When being evaluated I just told them the truth. I'm a million different people…

I've also been reading works by Osho. "The Book of Secrets" in particular. A lot of it sounds like Buddhism, but I think the principles are universal and can apply to anyone of any religion.

More from "The Power of Now"

"The mind, to ensure that it remains in control, seeks continuously to cover up the present moment with past and future, and so, as the vitality and infinite creative potential of Being, which is inseparable from the Now, becomes covered up by…

When I'm not reading and trying to find answers for this problem, I usually am playing in my thoughts and it leads me to daydreaming. They usually start off very exciting. It's like turning on the tv to an action movie that is already in progress. I just step in the scenario and off we go...

In real life I'm a female, 24, African American. I'm pretty short and petite. The vast majority of my daydreams are in a male perspective and often at an age much younger than I am. Sometimes,…

So, I said I would share parts of The Power Of Now with this community. It's really helping me understand the power of Being and how to guide my own thoughts or be completely free of thinking all together. The reason I feel this is so important is because MD is totally an issue of the mind. For me,  it's a non stop desire to place myself elsewhere, in other peoples shoes, in a more ideal world, in whatever my mind will create. Before going on a mental trip, I have to accept what my mind is…

While on amazon looking through the inspirational books category I stumbled upon a book by Eckhart Tolle called "The Power Of Now". I am telling you all, it's a game changer. I would like to start sharing excerpts from it with you guys. I don't think the author was ever an MD'er, but he experienced a very deep depression which he recovered from at 29 years old. He did it by separating himself from his mind. I know, it…

Goodmorning,

So, I've shared the story about how my MD came about. Now, I feel I can talk about more current events. I've been in an on and off relationship with a guy since my senior year in high school. It started out as a fling. It was strictly sex based. At some point he started to feel deeply for me and over the years he's expressed it more and more. Even after I moved out of California and ventured out into the military, he still called and checked on me. I appreciated having…

I've been really brainstorming on my daydreams. Between occurrences, I stop and ask myself why I'm doing it. It usually leads to beating myself up, which isn't helpful, but sometimes I get revelations. I daydream so much because I don't know how to cope with the evils of the world. The tragedies, the conspiracies, the "gut feelings" that something is wrong with our world, but not believing anything can be done about it. As a means to stay innocent and keep from conforming to the evil I know…

I'm just curious if anyone with MD has ever video taped themselves daydreaming. Periodically I set up a camera on a tripod and record myself for about 30 minutes and watch it back. It's trivial, but I learn a lot about how MD may look to an outsider. Watching playback of my behavior helps me realize what I'm doing, how much time I waste doing it and what I could've been doing instead.

I woke up this morning feeling very positive. Last night I had a conversation with my mother which led to me "coming out" about my addiction to fantasizing. She looked so confused, but was surprisingly supportive. She kept saying that humans have the ability to self heal. My long search for answers has been an attempt to self heal. Joining this networking is also an attempt to self heal. So, I will give myself credit for not just allowing maladaptive daydreaming to overthrow my entire life.…
