Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Things never seem to get better.

I know a lot of people on here hate their MD and want to stop DDing, but that isn't something that I'll ever want (not that there is anything wrong with not wanting it). I just feel like I must missing something because I can't want to live in this world like they do. I just don't really feel like this world is worth it. I can't be happy in this world like I can in mine. I can't feel real in this world or present. I can't be happy with other people because I can't connect with them. I feel like I was born on the wrong planet.

I titled this 'Things never seem to get better' referring to how I'm always depressed in this world, but I don't want to get better. I don't want to be happy in this world. I hate this world and all I want is to be in my own.

Comment by Faye on May 30, 2013 at 12:13pm: MD is most definitely a way to avoid having to deal with the frustrations of actually putting up with real people, and how incredible irritating they are. (at least for me anyway). But it's something that is essentially an addiction I wish, I could be rid of it, I wish I knew how to develop real coping skills.

Comment by Amoka on January 6, 2013 at 4:09am: I used to feel this way a lot, like this world wasn't worth living in, and that I wasn't meant to be born into it. But I decided that this is the world I was born into and I have to just make the most of it and make it better. I can't do that while I'm daydreaming though, so that's why I don't want to have MD.
