Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Peace

Hi. Im Suprajaa. Im a General surgeon. I have been having MD all my life. I have my exams in 24 days and i spent 2 hours daydreaming today. Im so happy that this disorder is finally recognised because I spent my childhood looking for answers I could not find.
I just cant express how much this disorder has affected me. I mean I could have achieved so much more if it weren’t for this. I feel like the only thing that helps me stay in reality is meditating and reading books. Also Im so happy to be here.

I wish i had better advice, but I never encountered a problem with my Daydreaming interfering with my studies, job or socializing. I guess everyone is different. I’m sad to see how MDD negatively impacts some people. We all deserve peace and happiness.

Comment by Dee Wards on July 11, 2023 at 3:50pm: When I was in graduate school, I treated my studies like a full time job. I got up early and went for a run, got a shower, had breakfast, then sat at a desk and studied all day into the evening. I didn't take a break, except for meals and bathroom. My roommates did the same thing. Later, we’d quiz each other. We did this 7 days a week until exams started. My daydreams were incorporated, but in a reasonable way. For me, it was easier to focus with the structure setup that way everyday. The important thing is that I tried by best.
