<p>Wow I am glad some of you have drawn inspiration from this and that it has started a discussion :) From my perspective it has certainly helped me get to where I am today. MD has given my mind depth and creativity most determinately. I can think outside the box and be imaginative in a practical way which will certainly benefit me in psychology. I think It can be a gift if its harnessed most definitely :)</p>

And no, I'm not saying Maladaptive Daydreaming doesn't have any negative effects. I also became confused a lot during my childhood because I was constantly pretending to be someone else or a completely different version of myself. I'm 14, so I guess it's normal for me to still struggle with finding my identity, but I still feel awkward and behind because I don't seem to know myself as well as my peers know themselves. When I was younger and was suddenly put in school after being homeschooled…

When I was younger and was suddenly put in school after being homeschooled for 3 years, I would always embarrass myself because I overestimated/ underestimated my abilities (I was used to living my life as a daydream character that had an entirely different set of talents than I did). So I get what you mean. In my last comment I was just trying to say that you should look on the bright side and not feel bad about creating a fantasy world.

Daydreaming keeps you from ever being bored. And I've noticed it helps me make decisions. Whenever I'm about to make a major decision, I daydream about what will happen depending on which choice I make. I've kept myself from doing a lot of stupid stuff that way.

@Rosethewolf, Maladaptive Daydreaming isn't ALL bad. It just sounds like that because it has "disorder" at the end. MD can actually be an advantage if you keep it under control. If it doesn't affect your life too much now, don't worry about it.

My life so far has been pretty bad. But now that I'm in high school everything is so much better. Everyone thinks I'm kind of weird because whenever I have a day that would seem just okay to most people I'm like "OH MY GOODNESS EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT!!! MY LIFE IS SO AWESOME RIGHT NOW!!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!" because every day is like heaven compared to my life before high school. I don't want this school year to end. It almost seems too good to be true.

<p>what a fantastic story! Bravo Aaron. More power to you.</p>
<p>I think that fact that you visualizing a better version of yourself helped you through that rough phase is very encouraging. You know that saying 'if you dream it you can do it'? It should now be 'if you can daydream it, you can do it'.</p>
