Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Relief!

I can' t begin to express how glad I am that I found an answer for what has been going on for about 26 years. I am 34 and have been searching for answers on psychiatric web sites and medical articles and feeling frustrated at not falling into any category or under any diagnosis code. Then it hit me...search for what I am doing, excessive daydreaming, instead of searching for a diagnosis. It all fit...pacing, music, characters, facial expressions, and of course the paranoia over being found out. I am very thankful to have found this group. I have worked very hard at masking this part of my life.
