Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Well hello! :D
My name is Petra and I live in a beatiful country Croatia. To help prevent any confusion Canon is'nt my real last name. Its just the word I saw on my printer and, in lack of any other ideas, wrote down as my last name. I know I'm stupid hahaha. Well, as I mentioned earlier I'm from Croatia and my native language is croatian , so I must warn you on many gramatical errors you will see and you have probably seen. Don't be harsh on me :) I'm only 15 years old and I'm freshman in high school (actually, I just finished being one haha):D
Lets begin :D
I have my daydreaming issues from my childhood. It has probably started when I was about 5. I don't remember things I daydreamed about but my parents and school classmates told me that I was pressing my hands really hard. They thought I was usually doing it when I was really excited but only I know that that is my daydreaming movement. My parents took me to see the doctor ( I know that because I found a paper that hospital gave to them. It said that they don't know whats wrong with me, and that I' don' have any psychological problems). I wasn't really popular in class, and many kids laughed at me because of my problem. Then, during the 3rd grade, I started to hang out with one of my colleagues. I was excepted and people didn't laughed at me any more. I think that was the time i stopped with the daydreaming thing. At least I stopped with fist pressing. Now, it came back. Truthfully, I don't think that i ever stopped daydreaming but I could control myself. I didn't do that in front of my friends or anyone. So I made people believe i stopped. Even now I can control myself while I'm with other people. But when I'm alone, it feels like an addiction. It's summer time and in place where I live there isn't many people to hang out. So I spend most of the time on facebook and of course - daydreaming. I know thats bad for me, but it's so hard to stop. I have a boyfriend ( we're together about 10 months now ) and I would simply die if he would find out about my daydreming problem. I don't have any brothers or sisters but I spend my shool year at the dorm. I'm both happy and sad because I can't daydream there. My daydreams are nothing to talk about because I usually daydream about random things, events and people. I turn my music on and start dancing (running, jumping) around my room and daydream.
My goal is to stop until the end of the summer because I don't want my life flies by me.
I hope someone could help me and I'm really willing to help anyone who will accept my help. This sentence sounds stupid but i don't know the other way of saying this :)
Hear ya :*

Thank you! :)
Hey Petra :) lol i cant stress how good it is to know there are others out there with this kind of problem... Im also new to the site and I started the whole day dreaming thing when i was around 10 or 11 , I mostly think i was suffering with depression but no one noticed and i didnt want to ask for help ... im almost 19 now and i still cant stop... when i day dream i pace around a lot , and i find myself wasting all my free time :( lol I'd also die if my friends found out about this kind of problem.... You're so not alone :)
