Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

People Aware Of My Issue:

Even though MDD has always affected me negatively, to where I can barely function. NOBODY knows what I've been going through or what I have. I have told my best friend & my fiance a couple little things about me(the MDD side of me), but I've never implied anything or went further. I've never told a soul about any of my MDD cause of fear. When I was little, I used to think I was either straight jacket-crazy, or that I was mentally challenged.... sad.

My mother was going through it really bad alone, the rest of the family thought she was crazy, until they shed light on it over a decade ago & she found out she wasn't crazy nor the only one. .... Feels like I'm going through the same thing.
Nobody understood her, everybody just though she was an extreme perfectionist, was extremely paranoid, & was making up some things. Now I know how she feels. Everybody tried relating to her, trying to tell her it wasn't as big of a deal as she thought, well guess what, they had no clue. There also different degrees & forms of OCD. Now it's a popular disorder & over 4 million ppl in the world have some form or degree of it.

Comment by Destiny Lund on September 12, 2011 at 10:23pm: Sounds like a great way to spend some time TJ. I comprehend what you mean. I have high expectations of people also, but only when it comes to morals. I have strict morals. So, when I expect others to have some decency, I'm let down. No, "let down" sounds like someone set me down as a fragile piece, more like slammed down on concrete. I have a love/hate relationship with people, humanity. I expect the best from people, but I also expect the worst from them simultaneously. I WISH greatly people would have decency, but I KNOW too many don't. I feel like I give up on people, but I still have a wandering hopeful eye averting behind me.
Gotta love the moon. ^_^

I analyze things/ppl in their free-form, I don't strictly expect them to be a certain way or act a certain way. I analyze them & leave them to their true self, & then I analyze how they use their free true self. People in general just intrigue me. I want to know what makes them tick. I enjoy others' opinions, culture, actions, persona, etc. This is why I subconsciously analyze. :-)

Comment by Destiny Lund on September 12, 2011 at 9:56pm: LOL, no, it's just that English is what I'm great at. I was top of my class in Advanced English, it's my favorite subject. Though, frequently I use txt talk just to type quicker. I usually only use proper English when I'm actually speaking, writing something important, or writing to someone important(sometimes it seeps through elsewhere though). Otherwise, I see no necessity for using proper English when I can type quicker. :-)
Great observation though, I'm 1 to analyze things & ppl myself.
