Me, explaining very vaguely that I daydream a lot: It's a disorder called Maladaptive Daydreaming and it really sucks sometimes.

My friends: WAIT WHAT THE FUCK ME TOO HOLY SHIT I THINK I HAVE THAT DISORDER

This is exactly why I put my do not interact on almost every post. There's a difference between daydreaming sometimes, normally, and then daydreaming excessively.

Non MaDDers/immersive daydreamers please don’t interact

My most hypocritical trait is I complain about people ditching their friends for their significant other when I have literally cancelled plans to hang out with imaginary people

[yrningdohwa]

when you’re thinking about a fictonal character and have to take a step back and remind yourself they aren’t real

[lucineanyway]

Sometimes I'll go out to hang with people or go out in the city to people watch just so I can have new scenes and ideas for my daydreams .

Cons of this is having extreme difficulty with enjoying and being in the moment

It becomes hard to snap out of it when you're with other people

Didn't need to be attacked so early within the day but alright

Pros of daydreaming in bed, right before going to sleep: can finally daydream in peace, without being interupted or having other obligations

Cons of daydreaming in bed, right before going to sleep: can’t pace, staying up until 3 AM and feeling like shit in the morning, having an angsty daydream/realizing your daydreams will never be real and quietly crying yourself to sleep

anyone else ever daydream for 6 hours straight and then after ur just like nah let’s scrap that and do it all again but slightly to the left

[astudyingreer]

my brain: *out of breath* Was that good?!

Me in a beret, taking a long draft from a cigarette and leaning back in my director’s chair: once again, from the top, this time with feeling

[rae-redacted]

My brain: we literally have 19 tabs open of the same daydream but flavored a bit differently. I’m pretty sure we have an appointment to be at. Or some work to focus on. Could you maybe devote a little cpu to—

Me: *opens new brain tab*

My brain: you’re the worst

[stubborndodecahedron]

brain tab. I love it.

Me, finally getting to crawl into bed at the end of the day: Alright! Where was I? Ah yes, it was the night of the ball on Asgard. I was currently outside the ballroom in a dark corridor with Prince Loki, the ballroom music muffled and distant over the sound of our kisses… 😴

What's annoying with MDD is that the name sounds so "poetic" that people who don't have it will rarely take it seriously without doing research

And this is why whenever anybody opens up to you about a condition instead of assuming you get it; inform yourself , research it, ask questions without judgement, don't assume information and conditions

[maladaptive-dreamer]

Some of y’all haven’t become so disillusioned with your own reality that you spend years of your life daydreaming about entirely made up worlds and people and it shows

[theduchessofhearts]

Calling all Maladaptive daydreamers!!!

I’m currently writing a story about maladaptive daydreaming and while I, too, have MADD I would like to hear other’s experiences so this doesn’t turn into a story about my self. Message me or reblog with any experience you have with MADD or if you know somebody with MADD that would be helpful as well.

Coming home from studies , embracing being alone and feeling a need to daydream ( I pace when I daydream ) even if I'm mentally / physically exhausted I somewhat trick myself into thinking this is sooo much better or else I'll get bored . problem is finishing homework and tasks and then sleeping a lot because your body is too exhausted from all the strain you put on it , especially my legs and feet . not being able/struggling to explain why you didn't come to your school , explain why you go to sleep so late and wake up so early , I end up seeming a little off for people but better that then trying to explain madd

[lucineanyway]

Is madd considered a mental illness ??

If anybody sees this Im very curious as to if you consider it to be at the same level as anxiety and depression ? Like its not something you can help it just is and it's hard to control depending on the days and your mental state , man I wish there was more research on this
