Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Had to stop MD

I used to do maladaptive day dreaming, but I think it's done some things to my head. My concentration and awareness to the world isn't the same. I'm not attuned to things and I get so clumsy. My head is tired rather often, I get concerning aches and sprains everywhere. So I quit the compulsive day dreaming. If I still did this, my eyes shut and my head spaces out or fogs. This really freaks people out! It even gets worse as I get older. I'm only 32 years old.

If it wasn't for the internet...and social media...and this website, I would have kept on going. I now wonder what possessed me to even get started in the first place. Maybe, I got too lonely and just wanted a company of friends. I probably didn't feel like the luckiest Syd on the corner. I was probably jealous of other people's lives and successes. Could be, I wasn't so excited by reality, as I used to find it very bland. Many people I grew up with had faces like 'shirts.' Many kids in my school didn't like me and were mean to me. So, if everything made me groan, all I needed to do was use my imagination.
