Hi!!! I'm mils :)
I've had MD since I was 7, and I thought I was crazy and I felt alone.
I only learnt that it had a name a couple years ago. since then, I was able to find more people that have it.
Then I found this website, and I'm so happy there's a community out there with other people who struggle with it!! :)
I hope to talk to you all, and that we can all work on our MD and support each other through it <3

I could've been someone

hiiii it's been a while
so lately I've been struggling with a lot of things, and then something hit me. If I didn't have MD for the majority of my life, I might've been able to achieve what I have dreamt of. Maybe if I didn't lose all those hours to it, I could've developed the social skills and intelligence to get what I wanted by now. I always dreamy of revenge of people who've hurt me, but I can't execute those plans now, I don't know I'm just writing stuff. It just hurts me to…
ContinueMD set me back years - figuring out who I am

Reading some blog posts on here made me realise something - my MD has set me back years. I had a distorted view of who I wanted to be through my daydreams - a violent person surrounded by drama and boys. And I realized, this is what I wanted when I was in primary school. I didn't want this to be my life when I'm out in the real world. But I was still clinging to this version of me, one with anger issues who can do whatever she wanted.
A few months ago, I had some time without my…
ContinueSocial interaction as a trigger

I just had my longest streak of not doing it - 3 days!
I've managed to not let my usual triggers get to me, by either avoiding them or by throwing myself into another thing altogether to distract me. The trigger I'm struggling with is socialising - hanging out with friends and talking seems to have the biggest impact on me. I don't know how to keep it under control, I keep caving. I understand it's triggered because I want to be seen as cool or normal, but I already have friends who…

Hi, so lately I've been doing a lot of self-improvement and working on myself, and I realised that finally, I am happy with my life. I feel at ease, and I always thought that would stop my want to MD. It hasn't though. And when I did indulge, I realise that my daydreams wanted a different life than the one normal-me wanted. A life filled with adventure and danger, but I don't want that, not right now and not as I spend the rest of my life.
I still want to MD now, but I do it much…
