Daydreaming even when everything goes right ...

[Elīna]

I have tried to stop this for years. I can't take it anymore. Sometimes I do good for a few days, in very good cases for weeks, but then I just snap in one moment, I let myself to do it for just few minutes, it feels so good after a break, but then the  minutes become hours and so on ... The worst thing is that a few years back the only reason why I did this was to escape my miserable life, but now a lot has changed. The worst thing now is that when something really good happens in my life I rush home to daydream about something similar happening more and more. When things are bad - I imagine to make myself feel better and I loose time, don't do my study work and so on, so it's terrible, but the worst really is the fact that I DD even more when everything seems to be going great, I keep making similar memories up to the originals, DD about great upcoming events in my real life and how they could play out, it's terrible, I need to do so much stuff that I have put away ;( If I go out I don't DD of course, but right now I'm at the point where I can't go out with my friends anymore, because I get none studying done, but when I stay home to study I just fall back into DD, or if I keep myself away from DD, I just can crawl in bed feeling like dying. I need to stop this, right now, I just have had enough, my life keeps getting better, but the better it gets, the more I want to DD, because I have so much good "material" if I could call it that  way. I'm just desperate, I don't know what to do anymore, I have so many scenarios I want to DD about right now, I could do it all night, it's crazy. I even wish to finish this post faster to rush to DD. I wish I was a drug addict, for those they at least have rehabilitation ...

Thank you for your advice, the main problem is that everytime when I bring DD while doing chores or whatsoever it gets really wild in my emotions, so I just run to finish my work and go dancing with my DD. Sometimes I just quit cooking or cleaning or whatever I'm doing and just run to daydreaming. It just gets so wild, I can just snap so easily :(

Hi Elina. What I am trying to do is to DD while being productive. It is not easy because I am a pacer and it's just easier to get into it and feel totally immersed while doing nothing other than pacing. But now I am trying to have my DD WHILE I am cleaning or cooking. I started this because I realize that I DD anyway when doing those things. It take practice and I can't honestly call myself successful at this point but it's a start. Good luck and best wishes.
