Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

who is unfortunate?

An unlucky person is not the one who has MD and who daydreams. Rather it is the one who has MD and cant daydream. You feel like ur day is incomplete. Ur life is incomplete. Not being able to daydream freely since past 6months, i dont feel like doing anything else. I just feel like dying. It has affected my studies really badly. My mom has started staying at home. I dont get to daydream. Neither can i study. Ppl have a lot of expectations from me. But they dont know that things in my house have changed. And they wont even understand how such small things affect my life. I tried talking to my frnds abt this. They say that the one who wants to study will study in every damn situation in life. And they also think my mom being at home is beneficial for me as she can look after me. And i know that i wont b able to perform well now. Its a sin knowing how much potential uve got and u cant use it!

Is it possible for you to daydream in your own bedroom with the door shut so that your mom can't see you? When my family is home I would go jogging to daydream away from them. Maybe you can try that.

You said that you had friends that you talk to. Why don't you try going out with them and doing stuff. I find that doing something fun really helps quell my urge to daydream. Although that probably wont help your studying.

Comment by Hünd on October 20, 2014 at 3:07am: Maybe your potential is not to daydream? Its hard to do something if there is no way of doing it. Its also hard to find new potential if you are stuck trying to do something you are not able to. Just because you are not able to do something, doesn't mean you give up. The fun is to find more things to do. Humans have an ability to always want something, and when we don't get it we move on. That is the grand scheme of how we get through idling. Don't just give up because you cannot do one thing. You don't live your life for one thing. It is a combination of multiple things. Hope this helped.
