Dreamy

[Candi Alexanderia]

Here ye, hear ye. I just thought of a random idea. My idea was to write a tell-all book about my MDD experiences. Maybe i'll inspire someone to actually speak up and be bold and frank with their therapist or psychologist. I'd like to let my experiences be known so that if your therapists look at you funny you can write down a link and send him/her my e-book and say ''You think my story is crazy? Wait till you read this chick's book. We've heard worse." I'll let you in on the start of my embarrassing secret: I've hung out with Michael Jackson countless number of times. Well, in my head of course. He's still alive. The thing is after he died I got obsessed with him and became a rabbid MJ fan. I kept thinking what if I got to meet this guy before he died, I was like this guy was awesome, cute too (before and after surgeries), and I just became crazed. 

Anyways, back to the topic, I am going to write a book, under the pseudonym Dreamie Alexanderia, about experiences and I want to give the readers an in depth overview of what Maladaptive Daydreaming is and give them an exclusive look into my most embarrassing daydreaming journal entries and I want to make it a fun experience. I could maybe have fun facts, interviews with therapist/psychiatrist/and others with MDD so now that you hear a few embarrassing stories and maybe you can open up to your therapist about everything that's up or maybe I just give some of you the feelings of comfort in the fact that you aren't alone and maybe you don't want to share your stories or tell your parents just yet (I didn't). Maybe if the book gets in the right hands maybe people will realize this thing is real and needs to be taken seriously. So far this diagnosis seems like something you'd find on Web MD.  I am now in the phase of the book where I want to interview some therapist and psychiatrists but I have to think of more questions to ask them (maybe they can do a skype chat with me). I'm not sure. That's all the planning for now when I get home I will surely start writing and say to myself don't pace don't pace even though that's how I get my writing ideas. I will keep you updated on my progress :)

I wish that I had kept up with a journal all these years on this. REALLY wish. I feel like in the years I've lost some "people" and stories from my head from just eventually forgetting about them or outgrowing them. I don't know...But to look back - especially if I could look back to my pre-teen years when it was getting super serious.

I guess I could always start now. I don't see this MDD stopping in my lifetime. I'm glad you are writing a book. That is awesome.

i'm happy to hear someone on here is writing a book about this!

I find it interesting that you have journal. I thought it would only be me who felt the need to write things down or do things that I would do if I were the person in my imagination. I guess it makes things seem more real.

Let us know when the book is available to read, I would love to read it.

That is amazing! And, so very brave of you. I applaud you on this. You really have guts! I am also writing a book, but on my MD plot, rather than an informational book on MD. Have you ever studied/are you studying psychology? And know enough about what MD is to write a book on it?
