Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Newbie

Hey Everyone,

I’m glad to know I’m not the only person with this maladaptive daydreaming problem. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember. I’m 35 now. They’re too embarrassing to share. Recently I’ve gotten down to about an hour of MD a day, which is a big improvement, but I feel so empty. I also feel guilt and shame for having this problem. I know I need to find healthier ways to relax, which is what I’ve been doing, but some days are like pushing through concrete to get through. I hope this place can offer some advice and comfort.

I also felt relieved to meet here. I'm 19 years old and even when I'm not daydreaming I feel my mind drowning and I never really get into reality, but being here (and talking about it) helps a lot. I hope it helps you too!
