hey fellow dreamers

[Daniel]

Hey, My name is Daniel I've been dealing with my compulsive daydreaming since I was about 5 years old. I’ve always created these large imaginary worlds to escape things that have happened to me. When I was a child my mother was domestically abused violence with my father so I learnt to create large places to escape.

I spend most of my day between my daydreams and real life. I'm day dreaming now and i can honestly say i spend 90% of the time I'm conscience with a day dream going so much so I'm quite indifferent about nearly everything. After I day dream for long periods of time it takes me a long time recuperate back to normal. It seems after I day dream I don’t function properly I can’t think clearly and reading my own emotions is just near impossible because I guess I’m so used to invoking some in the daydream that when It comes to dealing with real ones they just too used to taking a back seat role.

But the thing is I've really had enough of this again and just want to break out of it, I just want to hang out in the real world again with my friends and see my ex-girlfriend again even though i doubt we'll get back together. The effects of slipping back into MD is what made us break up.

 

hahah and i just realized the start of this sounded like an alcoholics anonymous introduction speech... i'll write something more entertaining next time  :P

Hello Daniel, thanks for speaking up and introducing yourself. I hope you find some good ideas to help you here and also share things that you've found helpful so we all learn from each other. I'm a long time dder that just wants to keep the dds under control so I can enjoy real life. I can realte to what you said about it being hard to readjust to real life after a big dd binge. Someone here added a post called "Crashing" and coined the perfect phrase of how it feels when real life hits you.
