<p> I feel like our stories are one in the same. How I found out about maladaptive daydreaming is basically the same way that you found out. I am not as good with my journal keeping as you, but I write about the same thing. But there is one thing that really stands out that I agree with "The thing is, maladaptive daydreaming isn't all bad. It's gotten me through some really hard times.

<p> I feel like our stories are one in the same. How I found out about maladaptive daydreaming is basically the same way that you found out. I am not as good with my journal keeping as you, but I write about the same thing. But there is one thing that really stands out that I agree with "The thing is, maladaptive daydreaming isn't all bad. It's gotten me through some really hard times. I'm not sure if I really want to cut it out of my life entirely. But one thing is sure: I want to get control of it, instead of letting it control me. I'm fairly in control right now." That is how I feel most of the time. Sure there are time where I want to reject that part of me, but it still is a viable coping mechanism to get through some tough times.</p>
<p> I hope you find what you are looking for on this site. And I have to tell you that this site is probably the tightest-knit but yet the most accepting community I've ever seen. I wish I could meet everyone in real life. Everyone is so understanding and kind, so never be afraid to ask for help from anyone. I hope you are blessed on your journey that is life with Maladaptive Daydreaming.</p> Welcome to WM!

<p>Welcome to WM! I, too, would rather manage MD than get rid of it completely. I've been doing this all my life. What was a childhood distraction became a life-long bad habit. It gets the better of me more times than not, unfortunately. Like you, I've tried to overcome it on my own many times, but it's so compulsive. Once it starts, it's so difficult to let go, and then hours of my life are wasted. I hope you manage to finish school. I dropped out over a decade ago. It still kinda haunts me…</p>
<p>Welcome to WM! I, too, would rather manage MD than get rid of it completely. I've been doing this all my life. What was a childhood distraction became a life-long bad habit. It gets the better of me more times than not, unfortunately. Like you, I've tried to overcome it on my own many times, but it's so compulsive. Once it starts, it's so difficult to let go, and then hours of my life are wasted. I hope you manage to finish school. I dropped out over a decade ago. It still kinda haunts me that i spent so much time in my head instead of living my life and applying myself. I hope you can avoid the same fate. Good luck to you, and welcome again!</p>
