Day 12:
Please be patient with us.
Please remind us of appointments, dates, stuff we need for a certain event/class. We will forget a lot so please don’t get mad when we do.
Please don’t make fun of us for verbal or facial expressions or repetitive movements we may make while daydreaming.
Please sit us down and have a talk with us about MADD. Each person with the disorder is different and may need different types of care. Also make sure to discuss what to do if you see us in a daydream.
Please respect our triggers. I don’t like to play music while I’m driving and that goes for everyone that’s with me while I’m driving.
Talk to us or give us a task to keep us busy and focused.
Lastly, please know that we are trying our best.
1, 8, 20, 23 :)
1) My daydreams are mostly about my parame and my friends paras. Basically I just created modified versions of us and made me seem more popular than I am and closer with certain people then I really am in real life. I also daydream about living with a different family. Sometimes my daydreams can be intrusive and involve me being in accidents or abusive situations. These are the ones I don’t have control over.8) Sometimes I write down certain daydreams but I don’t do it a lot.20) I don’t go to therapy for MADD but I wish I was able to.23) I have control over certain daydreams but some are intrusive and I don’t have control over them.
What is a para?
A para is a character you create in your daydreams to put it simply. You’re paras can be fictional or modified versions of you and/or your real life friends (such as you could have a friend you’re not close with in real life and be super close with them in your daydreams).

Gaining weight does not make you a worse person, and losing weight doesn’t make you a better one. Your weight is not a reflection of your worth.
Day 11:
Stay strong.
If you’re trying to quit or you aren’t in an appropriate place for a daydream, try sending your paras all on vacation. Make your daydreams super boring if you have that capability. This works for me for certain periods of time.
Keep a fidgit cube/spinner, clay, slime, or stress ball with you if you can. It’ll keep your mind focused so you don’t drift.
Write down your daydreams. I don’t know why but this helps me. It makes me feel calmer.
Practice meditating. This will help keep your mind clear and focused and may help reduce your daydreams.
Reduce the time your around your triggers if you can. (such as listen to music less, watch movies less, etc.) Put aside a certain time for this stuff to allow you to daydream a little each day. This will reduce your daydream time little by little.
Try to keep yourself busy and focused.

Day 10:
My favorite healthy coping mechanisms for maladaptive daydreaming is anything that keeps me focused and/or busy. This includes:
Making/playing with slime
Playing with Play-Dough/clay
Coloring and drawing
Playing guitar
Journaling
Playing a game/social media on my phone (I try to stay away from this one but if I am in public with nothing to do then it’s the only thing I have)
Day 9: So you can’t be really diagnosed with maladaptive daydreaming yet since it’s so new. However I will tell you about when I discovered the term and realized that it fit me.
So ever since I can remember I’ve done this thing were I got lost in imaginary worlds. Everyone thought I just had a wild imagination because I was so young. I remember I would take a book and go sit at the table and just stare at the pictures (I could read but I perferred the pictures at that point). While I would look at the pictures I would move my fingers in a rapid way really close to my face and make clicking nosies with my tounge and pace. No one said anything about it because it was just my thing. At school kids would ask me what I was doing and I just said that I didn’t really know I just liked to do it. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized how strange it was and no one else did it. Then about last year I was scrolling through the internet when I came across the term “maladaptive daydreaming.” I did research and upon my research I discovered that I was not the only one out there who did this. It made me feel better to know that this was a real thing. My dad had died when I was two from a sudden heart attack and I was reading about how many maladaptive daydreamers use it as a coping mechanism so it makes me wonder since I’ve done it since I can remember if it was something I picked up to try to get away from the sad world my early childhood had turned out to be. My earliest memories of my mom was her lying in bed in her room with the lights off watching Law&Order reruns while me and my sister came up with our own fun. Maybe my young self was only trying to escape all of this and it just stuck.
“I’ve never been to war. I can’t have PTSD.” Yes, you can.
“I’m not suicidal. I can’t have depression.” Yes, you can.
“He’s never hit me. It can’t be abuse.” Yes, it can.
Suffering is not a contest. Your experiences are valid. Seek out the help you need.

Day 8:
I am not lazy. Maladaptive daydreaming takes a lot of energy out of me.
I swear I’m trying pay as much attention as I can.
It’s hard for me to remember things. Please remind me and be paitent.
Sometimes I might make weird expressions, sounds, or movements. I can’t help it. Please don’t make fun of me for it.
I may pace. A lot. Do not be alarmed by it. This is normal for me.
I’m trying my hardest.
Day 7:
I constantly forget things! (Like dates, appointments, things that were told to me literally 5 minuets ago) I also feel bad sometimes because I feel like I’m not giving other people my undivided attention even though I’m trying really hard and I want to hear everything they have to say. It’s hard for me to keep up with people and most of my friendships kind of fade because I forget to text/call even though I keep meaning to. Itoalso hard for me to keep conversations going and typically a quiet person. Maladaptive daydreaming really does affect my relationships and I hate it. I’m thankful though to have a very forgiving boyfriend and paitent friends.
Day 6:
Maladaptive daydreamers are not lazy.
We do not have ADHD/ADD (well some might depending on any other mental illnesses they may have).
We do not have schizophrenia (again, some might because of other disorders).
We are trying are hardest.
Do not make fun of us for the movements, sounds, or facial expressions we might make. We can not help this.
Our disorder is REAL!
