Daydreaming hardcore for 4 hours because 1 inconvenience

MaDD, the non-romanticized version, part 1.

when your brain is so burnt out that your daydreams stop and you suddenly are taken back to reality and feel completely empty and unfulfilled.

madd culture is your personality being so inconsistent that you kin both the kind and gentle character that helps the protagonist and the cutesy, hyper character that tries to kill the protagonist

When you’re forced to come out of a daydream because you actually have to live ur normal life

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

Just a quick reminder for some people.

Maladaptive daydreaming isn’t quirky or a “cute trend”. Maladaptive daydreaming has fucked my life over and over again, whether that be turning in schoolwork late/not at all, not hanging out with real people, or literally almost getting hit by a car while I’m zoned out, daydreaming on a walk.

Today, I spent 2 hours staring at my wall, just daydreaming. Two hours. And thats considered good for someone like me. And I still have late homework to do right now. But am I gonna do it? No. I’m gonna daydream instead, because it’s addictive.

It starts out as a coping mechanism, but it can quickly turn into an unhealthy way to escape life. I’ve been maladaptive daydreaming since grade five, almost 4 years. My memories from then to now are fuzzy. I can barely remember grade 7.

And maladaptive daydreaming doesn’t come on it’s own. It’s linked to trauma and other mental conditions like ADHD, depression, anxiety, etc. It’s scary to think one of my main sources of joy has nothing to do with my real life.

So before anyone goes “omg I’m a maladaptive daydreamer, I daydream for like 30 minutes total everyday uwu.” Don’t. Rant over.

"my child is fine" your child spends hours per day pacing around their room and imagining themselves in a made-up world to escape reality

Me starting over a daydream scene because I thought about it for too long

[neuroces]

do u ever fantasize so hard about a situation or scenario u really want to happen that ur heart starts racing and it’s like ur life is finally ok, good even, and u can feel the sensations as it’s coming to life then BAM! reality sinks in that u have been laying in ur bed for 2 hours
