Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Hey guys
I was just wondering how Md affects you when you drink alcohol. When i started to drink i found it fun and it let me rid all the the thoughts in my head and be in the moment with my friends but lately it brings me more into the world of my head and i find it harder to have fun especially when eveyone around me is dacning and laughing. Does anyone else feel this way when they drink?

Alcohol is not a depressant for me, around other people or not, unless I'm just tipsy. Having a buzz can bring me down, but once I get past that, I definitely get happy. Typically, when I'm around other people, even drinking, I don't daydream. Sometimes, I do, but as long as I'm engaged in conversation it's fine. When I go to bed though or go outside for a cigarette, the daydreaming comes drunk or not. And when I'm drunk, the main person I'm daydreaming of is drunk as well, and sometimes everyone in the daydream is. I find it sort of fun.
I've never had the problem of going into my head when I'm drunk and around other people because I'm too busy laughing at/with others or stumbling on my feet.
Once when I was ... not drunk, but otherwise intoxicated, I was totally daydreaming with a friend of mine in the room. I didn't even realize it. Until I stood up without realizing and then she was like, "Were you daydreaming?" I was like, "No." And she was like, "Yeah, you were. You rocking pretty hard core in that chair over there." And I was just like, "Oh, I guess I was then." Then we just both broke into giggles. That's about it.
When I'm drunk, I tend to be the same as normal, if friends are over and I can't control the need to daydream, I just pop upstairs to my bedroom, get a little of it out so I can function properly again and then go back downstairs and just deal and enjoy the time I have with them until they leave. Then the fun in my head begins. ;)
Alcohol is a definite depressant for me when I'm around other people as I tend to totally withdraw into my head (not into daydreams) and over think everything. But if I drink a bit when alone (not in a lonerish way :P) I definately feel more creative, dreaming-wise!
A glass of wine helps me get more into whatever I'm doing - whether it's out with a bunch of friends or DD'ing. It always adds a spark of fun. For me. But 2 glasses of wine is my limit. O r 1 drink. After that, it's all downhill.
