New and scared

[Sara]

I realised just a few hours ago that I have maladaptive daydreaming. I am scared. I have very important exams in a week and I often find myself daydreaming yet again. I fantasise about incidents in the past, incidents in the future (that will never happen) and I fantasise about myself being interviewed it having a argument and since I want to be a singer I sometimes imagine myself on a stage and totally start rocking out. I lose attention from my books every so often and lose myself in a fantastical situation. When I Googled my daydreaming addiction and realised I have MD I weeped for hours on end because I want to be like normal people. I want to be able to study just as much as then and have the same capability to focus. Please help me. I am so scared!

Everyone daydream's, we just daydream more than other people and we have more of an imagination. Look up some of the things you can do to keep focus, but that's just half the battle. You have to actually put forth the effort and DO those things to keep focus. Good luck!
