Anyone Brave Enough to Post Videos?

[WebbyOne]

Hi!  I'm the webmaster at:  http://daydreamingdisorder.webs.com.  I had posted a comment a few months ago, looking for anyone who was willing to post a video about Maladaptive Daydreaming.  The only one that I've found was this person here:

 If anyone else would be brave enough to make videos about our problem, I would LOVE to post a link to them on my site.  Believe it or not, you would be one of the few (and first) people to speak openly about Maladaptive Daydreaming on camera.  Don't do anything that you will not be comfortable with in case it "goes viral." Hope to hear from someone soon - email me at my site or here to let me know where the video is posted.

Sure. It's going to be different for everyone, but I'll be happy to just give a brief description. Please feel free to suggest anything else. Otherwise I may run out of things to talk about & end up going on & on about my cats..... Lol.

Hi Cordellia,

Well done. I could hear it all well enough. It's really interesting to get more of an insight into your life. You're much braver than me! And i'm even worse with technology - this forum stuff is all new to me.

Do you think your daydreaming takes you away from your anxieties? If you're in a nice daydream while getting ready for bed might you check your locks etc a little less? May be that's for another thread.....

Thinking about videos and educating non daydreamers. I think it would be good to have a video which is really short and just about MD - explaining what it is, what it's like when you can't stop and the good things/bad things about doing it. Would you - or anyone else - be up for doing that?

Did anyone read my article? Does that paint a decent picture?

As for my anxieties......well it depends on if i'm worked up about something real like school troubles or just the ordinary bogey men. If it's ordinary stuff, then yeah, it can help. If it's real things though then I can't daydream very well until it's resolved. I feel guilty for daydreaming & can't concentrate on them & the end up feeling really dazed & half-hearted.

Ah yes - i know that one - i go from a bit of problem solving thinking to daydreaming before i know it, to forcing myself to think again.... Writing it down helps.

How about you show us your cats on video? Just for us.

As a matter fact, Grendel's being kinda silly right now. Lemmie upload.

I'm going to buy a webcam. I'm interested, although a bit nervous as I've never done anything like this before.

Sounds great, but don't do anything that you are not going to be comfortable with. Are you going to be ok about "outing" yourself in this way?
