Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

I Now Look Like My Ideal Me!

Hi, MDers.

I'm Jennifer, and I'm 16 years old. I've been struggling with MD for years.

I've had this idealized version of myself since I came up with my whole elaborate daydreaming scenario 9 years ago, and I've always wanted to be her. I've always wanted to have her personality, wanted to act like her, be seen in the real world like she's seen in my imaginary world, I've wanted to have the same great reputation, I've wanted to be just as fabulous as a singer, and, most of all, I've wanted to look like her. I named her Elizabeth. (or Lizzie). I found this stock photo online one day, and thought the girl in it was absolutely gorgeous. I decided right then and there that that is what I wanted Lizzie (or "me," if you want to say) to look like. She is absolutely beautiful.

When I show people her picture, and they say she's ugly, I get really offended. I guess because they don't know how I feel about this girl. How I feel about this imaginary, pretend person, and how much of a connection I have with this "girl" based off of this stupid photo.

A few days ago, I cut my hair to look like her, (from what I can see in the photo) and edited a photo of myself to try to get it looking like Lizzie. Look how close it is! I cannot believe I've pulled this off!!
