Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

My biggest fear

My biggest fear? Well it's not spiders, clowns, or those types of things. Rather my biggest fear is losing my MD. my daydreams have been there for me throughout my entire life, and often when I feel like I don't have a friend in the world, my fantasy world is there to convince me that maybe I matter even if I only matter to fantasy characters.
Recently I've been daydreaming less and that's beginning to scare me a lot. I don't know how to live my life without daydreams and I don't WANT to live my life without them. MD is and always will be my best friend...

I get so excited about my "life" (in a DD) sometimes that it's hard for me not to tell everyone about it. I have a good friend who is gay who experienced the same thing before he came out. Because we can't share this excitement/fear/hope whatever with others, it turns us back more on ourselves. Thank goodness for Cordellia.

Comment by Angel on July 4, 2011 at 12:37pm: Its pretty common to get an attachment to our fantasy characters. I have feelings for mine and would be very sad to lose them. It would hurt along the same lines as losing a real friend.
