Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

When I found out about my MD

Hi, I found out I have MD last year. I have been daydreaming for as long as I can remember, but I always thought it was normal and that everyone did it. Until one day I talked to my sister about one of my daydreams and she was surprised. It's funny, I had never talked to anyone about it before. Even after talking to my sister and searching on Google, I told her I was joking because I was embarrassed.
It's hard to describe how I felt when I found out about MD, the feeling of strangeness, loneliness, pain and feeling like I was cheated. I cried for hours. These fantasies are so ingrained in my life that sometimes I think they will never end. It's still hard for me to talk about it and this is the first time I've ever talked about it.
I hope I can talk more about it here. By the way, if there are any mistakes in my words, I apologize because I don't speak English and I used Google Translate to help me.

Actually, I really enjoy the way you are describing your MD discover: strangeness, loneliness, pain and feeling like I was cheated.

You are very aware of your emotion and internal world.

It is like being cheated, isn't it? 🥲 Like "Oh the world works differently and nobody told me".
