Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

My dding pattern.

I just discovered my pattern for my extreme dding: Always during difficult times when my "real life" is going out of sorts. Especially when I am depressed or hurting. This is the one part of my life that I can control. Today I just spent tody day dreaming. ALL DAY........ It felt good and bad at the same time. Good because I was relaxed. Bad because i just wasted a day I could have been out with my kids. Instead I begged off when a friend offered to take us to the park. I felt I was entitled to since I cooked, fed and entertained people for 2 days. No dding time except right before bed for the last 3 days.
