Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Interesting Day

Well, I've started talking to a Counselor at my uni the last few weeks. I'm having some physiological issues that we're trying to figure out the cause of, so she's covering the anxiety aspect of it. Today was the first time I discussed my daydreaming with a counselor/doctor. It was... nerve-wracking, but kind of a relief once I started. She didn't act judgmental or anything, and asked me great questions. We'll probably discuss it more, along with other things. I'm seeing her again on the 1st, as well as a psychiatrist for the health issues. I'm hoping the doctor will be able to refer me to wherever I need to go, to figure the physical stuff out.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. We've been carving stone in my sculpture class, and I pretty much finished the carving on mine. I'm starting the sanding process now, as well as finishing the prior project we had. I might post pics of both up on here and will definitely shove them on my deviantART page and blogger account.

Hope this blog wasn't too jumbled or annoying. I hope everyone is having a brilliant week! The site's really cool so far. :D

Comment by Ashley N. on October 25, 2011 at 7:17pm: Really? Wow! I hadn't heard anything about MD until I started finally looking it up a few days ago. I was always scared of what I would find and just thought it was a quirk/me being weird. ^^;

Comment by Mira on October 25, 2011 at 7:08pm: Ironically enough, I heard about this site via an article in a magazine that I read in my therapist's waiting room.

Comment by Ashley N. on October 25, 2011 at 6:23pm: It was definitely a change of pace. :D I wasn't even entirely decided on discussing it today, but I just felt like I needed to go for it. I ended up showing her this site on my phone, lol!

This site has been really comforting in that respect. Until I joined the other day, I never really knew that a lot of other people were dealing with this. It was such a relief, in some ways. :)

Comment by Mira on October 25, 2011 at 6:06pm: Not at all- it's a comfort to share, and also a comfort to read each other's experiences. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one diving into the whole experience of talking about it to a mental health professional.
