Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Looking for a study/work partner who is in the same boat as I am!

I have been daydreaming ever since I was a kid- different fantacies at different stages in life. Ultimately this impacted my social life, my observation skills, my personality and my studies. I did manage to score good marks, but I alone know how much I struggled to focus. I have discussed this with my family, but no one seemed to take this seriously.

I have often felt alone, felt like I was the only one with this issue. I was surprised to learn that there are so many sailing on this very same boat.

I recently started my masters and it has been around 9 years since I did my undergrad. Given my day dreaming habit, I have been struggling to study/ stay in the present. I really don't know how I studied earlier.

I am trying to find out different ways that can help me stay in the present and avoid wasting time. But daydreaming has become so attractive that sometimes I don't even have the will to try out different strategies.

I might do better if I have a study/work partner who also understands this habit and we can help each other out.

If you think this will help you, please let me know and we can work together... I study during the morning and evening EST hours.

Comment by stardust on March 31, 2021 at 2:55am: Hi Maya, maybe we can do this together but there is one thing. I'm from Turkey. So I don't know if our hours are going to match. These days I am trying to study all the time actually because my midterm exams are coming. What do you think?

Comment by Maya on March 30, 2021 at 5:37am: OH- I might not be able to join at that time, Sakshee...

Comment by Deep blue on March 28, 2021 at 8:44am: But what are we exactly gonna do though : p

Comment by Deep blue on March 28, 2021 at 8:43am: But if you study between morning 8 to 11 then I'll be able to join. I can start studying between evening 5:30 to 8:30.
