Wildminds is BACK

[Valeria Franco]

Hello daydreamers!

Wildminds is back.

When I heard Cordellia was about to close it, I felt so sorry that I reached out for her and we agreed on transferring the ownership. It took a while to settle everything but now we are here.

About me: my name is Valeria, I'm 35 and I'm a counselor. I was a maladaptive daydreamer. This is the first place where I found answers to what I was experiencing for all my life. 

I'm Italian and at that time (2015-2016) I could not find any search result in Italian about compulsive fantasy on Google. I decided to create the first Italian website and Facebook group for Italian people (now with more of 1000 members). I have also created a non-profit association to give help and talk to people and psycholosists about maladaptive daydreaming (www.maladaptivedaydreamingitalia.com).

I'm glad to see the community around the globe growing and sharing stories.

This is an amazing virtual place to start to feel better and take back your life. To me, it was the beginning to get rid of dreams and start living again. 

I want to thank Cordellia for everything she has done, but she has decided to quit and I wish her all the best. There will be some changes, stay tuned. 

Wildminds is alive. Feel free to make suggestions and to express yourselves.

Hi Kayla, I don't see any issue uploading images, let me know if you still have the problem in a few days.

Hello! Thanks for bringing the site back. However, I noticed most pictures in the website aren't loading properly. Can you address this issue? Thanks ^__^

[Valeria Franco]

Thank you everyone for your support!

I think we should work together to keep the site alive and clean.

Let me know if you find something wrong around or fake profiles.

I never thought I'd see the day when that army of bots would be finally cleaned off this site. If the proliferation of fake profiles wasn't directly responsible for forcing Cordellia to shut it down, it certainly had a hand in it.

I'm really glad this site is not closing :)

You have no idea how wide I smiled when I saw this email in my inbox – I hadn't realized how much I missed this site until I logged back in just now. Hello Valeria, and thank you!!

Hello Valeria,

i want to thank you that you are continuing with this site because I just found out that I’m not alone with this, a little while ago. It feels great not to be alone anymore. It’s so nice that other people really understand what I’m going through.

Hi D Holden,

don't worry about your italian, the official language of this site is English, please feel free to switch back to that.

Thanks for joining!  :)

Ciao, Valeria. Sono appena salito a bordo. Grazie per aver salvato questo sito. Il mio italiano fa schifo. Ma la mia mente fa schifo l'universo come se niente fosse. Ciao, signorina.
