Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Day 3- Hardwork pays off

Well, I didn't have time to even DD or at least "surface use" with music, cause I was working next to my study buddy all day at Uni for 14 hours! woot, but all I can say is even though I did have a strong urge at school to ask for my friends headphone and go into my world, I just went for a walk and grabbed some coffee, and came back and just got back into it, getting some fresh air can do the trick sometimes guys!, but only day 3, long way to go, but right now I feel good mainly cause of all I accomplished today. Anyways guys, Im out, have a goodnight and I hope you have an amazing day tomorrow!

Comment by Wakethenight on March 31, 2013 at 7:31am: I'm happy for you! I think maybe after 30 days consciously avoiding using your triggers like music to indulge in DD it will become easier. I was able to not DD for a whole summer because I was so super busy and did not use any of my triggers(music and TV) to indulge my DD. Then one day I was like--"I got a handle on this, let me just do it once for fun." I found the first time I did it, I was not submerged into my DD world like I had been in the past..."it didn't feel right." I stupidly kept indulging in my DD until it felt right and, years later, am still DDing. I'm sure I can do it again. It's just hard because I have such a mundane job now.

So I suggest once you have reached a point where you think you have a handle on DD by not "surface using" don't take it as complete progress and don't slip back into doing it for "fun."
