Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Roughly when did your MD start?

For me, I think it was when I was 7, because I was bullied, so I would walk round the playground at school daydreaming. I wouldn't even play with other kids, I prefered to stay in the world of my daydreams. When abouts did your MD start?

It's been here for my entire life. Then elementary school started and people picked on me and that escalated in middle school. That made for a very miserable childhood, but I always could hide in my fantasy world. Then came high school when I actually gained some "respect" and friends and I've found my niche, yet I still daydream out of sheer boredom.

I was around 4 years old. I was living with my grandmother, father, uncle, aunt, and sister. My father was overbearing and unrealistic in his statements to us and my uncle had started molesting me. My sister and I had just recently left off living with mom because of her severe depression and struggle to support us resulted in her having a breakdown.
