Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Binge

I am coming off of a daydream binge. I had a fight with my husband the other day and it sent me into a binge. Sometimes he can say some real hurtful things. I am trying to come out if the binge. MD can be like a black hole that keeps sucking me in. I feel safe in the black hole. I can easily go to MD and feel better and comforted.

When I was married, my husband never knew about my MD. He just thought I was depressed & nuts. In hurtful situations, I think it's OK to use MD to self-soothe ourselves. It keeps us going. Good luck.

Comment by Water Lily on August 17, 2013 at 1:20pm: What did you fight about? Does he know that you have MD? I am always worried my husband will find out about my MD, but then feel guilty about not telling him. Hope it gets better!
