notice to followers

i just want to establish that i do not appreciate people outside the maladaptive/immersive daydreaming community reblogging my posts. i feel like it trivialises the mental illness i’ve struggled with for years to nothing more than a ‘relatable’ post.

if other daydreamers want to reblog this to clarify that their posts are not for neurotypicals, feel free.

When the song playing triggers an emotional daydream but its a bop so you jam to it anyway

[maddhorror]

creating paras of people you dislike and making your other paras roast them is the best way to cope and you CANT change my mind about that

[maddbians]

someone: wow having madd must be so fun! you can create universes inside your head haha it’s like you’re more creative

me, jumping around my room daydreaming about my paras embarking on terrifying and horrific adventures while i have an essay due tomorrow:

[para-para-paracosm]

[maddhorror]

go for it dude! id love to read it

[a-madd-world]

Isnt it so weird how so many of us madders have super super cringy characters and storylines? Like when I make a normal OC I make sure to carefully vet out the cringy (in my opinion, at least) stuff but my paras are all mary sue-ish. In that regard, im sure that most madders understand that feeling. Idk this could have been put in better words.

i know!! all my paras are cringey mary-sue inserts and it sucks cause i wanna share them but it’s so embarrassing :/

MaDD is not just daydreaming

MADD is not like normal daydreaming, everyone daydreams, but MADD is a disorder.

MADD is harmful, disturbing, disrupting and a shitty thing that hurts and destroys your life. People daydream, it’s a normal thing. But people with MADD, daydream to a point it becomes excessive and does disturb their daily life. Usually as a coping strategy.

Pease do read up on it before you claim to have MADD, as it’s not just normal daydreaming.

🌈 quick question, who’s lgbt+?

Was wondering just how many people in the MaDD community are queer, because it seems like a lot! Bonus question: Are your paras LGBT+ as well?

[maddhorror]

im trans and about 80% of my paras are lgbt lmao

[lgbtmadd]

In this house we don’t parashame anyone. What’s parashaming? It’s basically judging other people para’s, criticize their universe, laughing about their dreams, etc.

In this house we appreciate EVERYONE. I think you and your universe are amazing. Let’s be more madd positive.

[maddpurgatory-deactivated201901]

Anyone else with Madd get this feeling like you’re running out of time? Like, you need to hurry up and make something out of yourself before your prime is over. I guess it’s just because Madd has taken up so much of my life that I feel this way.
