Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Been a while since I've been here. Felt like sharing recent events.

Hey, everyone. It's been a while since I was active here. So I wanted to share what's going on, and also to know what's new with you guys too. I got work as a Marketing/Business Development Associate for this educational company named CareerLabs. And the work is hectic. I'm out in the field from anywhere between 2 hours to almost 8 hours, connecting with officials in colleges to get events organized for the company. So my work is hectic and I barely have any time to relax, unlike before. I'm wondering, how do you guys who work right now, handle work stress and have a good work life balance? (I really could use some advice on how to handle work life, coming from comfortable college life). What little time I have, mostly goes into gaming and daydreaming. And gaming, well, lately it gave me more stress than fun, so I'm taking a break from that for the time being. And daydreaming, well, lately the plots have been about redemption and just basic fun and frolic. I'd love to know what y'all are daydreaming about, those who still do. And if you have beat it, let me know about that as well

I'll be as active here as I can. What's new with some of you guys? Do let me know in the comments. I'd love to conversate with you.

And yeah, time does fly by, and the rest of the world are moving in sync, whereas I'm stuck not knowing what to do, and like you said, paralyzed in despair. I hope that I have some stability by the time I'm 30.

Comment by Yelena Cheeli on April 12, 2022 at 9:16am: this 30's thing... I think about it a lot.
sometimes I think that the years go by at a completely different speed than mine, and that while the rest of the world can keep up I am paralyzed in despair. I think I understand you on some level.

And it's a pleasure to chat with you! Let me update you if you're okay

Comment by Kiruba Victor on April 11, 2022 at 3:11am: I know the feeling, Yelena. I feel as if I can't do the work sometimes and that I'm not set for it, and honestly, sometimes I think it's true. And there's also the thoughts of what would happen in the future too, especially before 30. My work is heavily dependent on talking to people, so I don't feel too awkward, although sometimes I do feel anxious.

Nice to meet you, by the way, Yelena.

Comment by Yelena Cheeli on April 11, 2022 at 2:51am: I am going through something similar here. I also came out of a comfortable time after high school online and now I got a job and am starting university. I work 8 hours a day and go straight to university classes, not finishing until midnight. Everyone I talk to handles it well but I am on the verge of going crazy. I am doing better at work, but I constantly feel an imposter syndrome taking over when I start to do a new task. And university I've been trying to balance with everything as I'm relearning to live with other people even though I feel EXTREMELY awkward talking to anyone.
And as for my daydreams, usually on Saturday morning I have a burst of daydreaming, of needing to be there for a few hours until I calm down. And I'm usually recycling the scenes, because I think my brain is too tired to come up with new things.
So I'm a little desperate because I don't like having so many things to do like that, but at the same time I think it might be good in the long run.
