Hi everyone , i have registered here nearly three years ago yet i only have one post and i rarely log in here i have had MDD for as long as i can remember and i kinda gotten used to it until this last 2 months .

Growing up my childhood was filled with abuses and traumas daydreaming was my only escape since i was 8 or 9 i remember my parents would catch me in my room pacing and making wired faces but they didn't make anything of it now it only happens in my head and i learned to cope with this wild imagination of mine .

The reason that made me write this post is that these last couple of months have been very hard on me because i find myself not being able to focus on real time and i would just live in my daydreams , even when i wake up i stay in bed for about 2 hours just day dreaming and that have affected my academic and social life in the worse way and i don't know what to do,  when i first found this site most people here where complaining about MDD which i found at the time wired because for me it was fun and i didn't like people any way but now it has been the most difficult thing just to keep my mind focus on the simplest of tasks and i became anxious to the point that if i had a test i cant study a single word , Iam currently considering seeing a doctor and trying medication .


I have a lot on my mind and i will try to write sooner next time , excuse my poor writing skills its a second language :) .

There's a book called "The Untethered Soul"  (by Michael Singer) that might help you. It helped me. If you want to lessen your daydreaming, the only person who can do it is you. You have the power to not do it, just like you have the power to do it. The problem is, as soon as you stop dreaming, you immediately confront the reasons you daydream. For me, it's horrible memories that pop up uncontrollably. For you, it might be something else. Also, meditating regularly will help you concentrate.

Try distracting yourself as much as you can. Where MD can actually feel good, I know it can become a pain in the neck. But, well... good luck.

Hi. You kind of sound like me, haha. I registered a few months ago but still haven't been on this website more than a handful of times. Plus, I can totally relate to you. I pace for hours in my room, just daydreaming. It's fun but it gets on my nerves sometimes, especially when i have other stuff to do. Now that my summer break is ending, I will have to stop daydreaming as much as I have been because it really makes it hard for me to concentrate on my school work. I hope you find a way to limit your daydreaming too. :)
