Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
A mental battle
Well so far I have stopped MD for about a week now, and now the urge to do it is crazy lol. I think it is crazy how you are in a sense a slave to a world that YOU made. I think the thing that makes it so good is that you can have or be anything you want, and free of stress. I don't like this comparison, but to me it is an addiction, but and invisible one. It feels as if its some pretty girl trying to pull me into the room with her lol. That to me is how it feels. Hopefully I have stopped for good, and I go on to week 2.

It is a addiction to me too. To live in a fantasy world where anything you want can happen. To get away from this harsh reality and live in a stress free world. It sounds so amazing but can take control of your real life. How are you stopping yourself? I want to try and stop. Now that my headphones finally broke maybe I can slowly pull myself away from the urge to enhance my daydreams with music or something. I hope it goes well for you.

When I made my characters and my world, I didn't know it, but I was imprisoning myself. Now I know and regret what I did. But I'm not sure if I SHOULD regret it, because I would be a totally different person without my maladaptive daydreaming, and I'm not sure if said person would be better or worse than the person I am right now. And I don't REALLY want to be free just yet...

Well for me I have just been using my willpower to completely stop it. I have also force myself to not even use my headphones indefinitely, because I can only daydream with my headphones. Another thing is that I don't like the depressing feeling of creating alternate world and realizing that They. Never. Will. Exist. Im sure you can overcome this, we all can.
