Hi,

     I am 22 and I am a student. I have been suffering from this problem for years and I have tried several things to get rid of this. I had been taking prescription drugs for 3 years, but it didn't help much. I was not aware of the problem back then. I thought I had ADD/ADHD back then. The pyschiatrist told me that I had OCD. Then, I was taking Fluvoxamine,Lonazep, etc. for 3 years.  Only now, I came across this website and this condition online. I hope they do find a sloution for this problem soon.

 

Actually, I feel this dreaming really does affect studies. I also need a lot of time grasping things and it is also very difficult to remember things. 

 

Someone, please ,please read this and reply.

I would be happy to get in touch with someone and get in touch with them.

I'm so sorry...I can hear your frustration through your words, and I can relate, trust.

Funny, I was able to stop daydreaming for years, simply because I was so damn busy, I couldn't, really, and then the desire slowly declined...thing is, well, the problem came back.

The only thing that helped me was keeping busy....so busy I didn't have time to daydream. I had to go to bed pretty much exhausted, so I wouldn't daydream (I do most of it in bed, sometimes I will daydream when I am doing something mindless, like swimming, walking, etc....but 95% of the time, I daydream in my bedroom).

Perhaps that could help? If you tried that, I mean. Don't know.

At the moment it's not helping me. Pfft.

I do hope you can find an answer...now antidepressants help me, doesn't completely take the desire away, but....hum, it helps.

SO, I'm not sure if it's linked to depression as my therapists believed in the past....or not. Do with that what you will.

Hi there, Sudharshan.  I know how hard this is to live with, but we can figure it out together.  It comes with a lot of strengths and struggles.  On one hand, our minds are so divided that it's hard to focus on anything.  It's like having an exciting TV show on in your head all the time.  On the other hand, it takes a lot of strength to live in 2 worlds at once, and it comes with enormous creativity.  You're not alone.  There are many, many people going through this right along with you.  We can figure out how to live with this together.  I'm not always online, but I check my email many times a day.  Feel free to message me any time.
