Poem about MD

[Jenna]

                                                                                          Dreams

                                                          A dream is an escape from reality.

      Reality can be boring sometimes

In a dream I could be a superhero saving lives.

In a dream I could be a superstar.

In a dream I could be find true love.

However a dream is all pretend.

The sad truth is that it will probable never happen

You can spend your whole life dreaming,

but why waste your life on playing pretend.

        Hi, I'm new to this website. I now have MD for about 2 years. I know it isn't very long, but I think I might have also suffered with it when I was younger. I remember  specially making up a girl named Tigergirl ( I was 5 and tigers were my favorite animal.) One time my mom brought up how when I was little I would call my self Tigergirl and I "saved the world" (She doesn't know about my MD .) Though eventually I forgot all about her.  However when I started daydreaming the first character that popped in my head was Tigergirl. It's odd really I didn't plan it. I just started daydreaming, and the characters called her Tigergirl. Is that odd? I'm still not sure why. I try to call her something else( give her a new name), but my mind doesn't want to.  Anyways I've been trying to limit my daydreaming to about 5 to 10 minutes a day, but my still wanders. It's quite frustrating at times. Well anyways I'm glad I'm not the only one out there, and I hope we can be friends.

@ Sandy I frequently dd sad stories. Like my character was once feared by everyone, but brought to the light of a friend. A friend who didn't everything for her even thought she was a jerk. Though her past caught up to her and that one best friend she could never repay was murdered in front of her.

@ roxanne Nice to meet you and thanks.

I've had one character in almost all my DDs, and she's changed a bit over time, but at the start I didn't know what to call her, so I just called her Girlie, and now, even though, to make it a little more realistic, I've given her a name, Karla, I still always call her Girlie, except on the off-chance that I introduce her to someone, then I often have to correct myself haha

And Jenna, I do the sad parts of the DD too, otherwise it gets boring (all though, this morning, I did something VERY unlike me. I DD that I got frigging married.) I've had things like getting nearly killed a few times, have one best friend murdered and the other really hurt. Variety must be the reason I do that, I guess.

Welcome, I'm sure you will be finding a lot of friends & support here.  I've been DD'ing all my life and I'm sure I will continue to do so.  Hopefully. anyway.

Really? I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't change the way their dd is sometimes.Well I try sometimes my minds drifts some, but I try to chase it off. I set a timer and I only dd I feel REALLY tempted or need a break. It doesn't always work, but I try my best.  I usually dd in the morning a little bit after waking up and at about bed time. Although I'm getting better I still feel really tempted a lot to constantly daydream.  My outside life is boring too. I'm basically a loner due to my shyness. I do have friends, but I feel like they don't really care about me. I think I have like two friends that really care about me. My dd life is amazing also it's like nonstop thrill, and angst ( I like to daydream negatively sometimes to make things interesting.)  Thank you for welcoming me. I'm glad to finally have acutal people I can talk to about MD and not be judged badly.

Hi Tiger...errr I mean Jenna. There are certain things that I can't change in my dds too. It's almost like a higher part of my brain has final approval and there's no convincing it otherwise. I'm so relieved to know that there are other people like me too! Do you really only give yourself 10-15 minutes a day? That's very good will power. Several other members are going to want you to spill your time management secrets. I've been an mder since I was little, I'm 38 now and I can schedule my dd time instead of being a slave to it. But I don't have much of a life outside of work....well my dd life is pretty exciting but not the real life. So I have lots of time to dd if I want to. I don't dd as much as I could, some days I don't do it at all. Maybe a few little convos here and there but no intense full on dds with music blaring and drapes closed up tight. It's always nice to welcome a new member! I hope to see you here having fun! JeN
