I can understand both sides to this and agree with several points made here, but i do say i agree with @reality-sucks-dream-instead in the sense that I cant imagine how boring and empty my brain would be without MaDD. It has also helped me mentally in ways that nothing else can, and maybe this last bit could be a problem but honestly i feel like i would be more depressed without it.
As also mentioned, it has significantly helped with my creativity, taught me what works and what doesnt in storytelling, what types of characters and personalities make for an intriguing character that im willing to stick with long term and what doesnt, etc; and it has even inspired a comic that I’m trying to write (and comic writing is kinda my dream career).
I agree the tinnitus sucks and my feet hurting sucks and feeling like ive distanced myself from real life people sucks (and im sorry if this is basically repeating what has already been said) but i dont know who i would be, or what i would even do with my spare time, or how i would get myself to sleep, or how i would try out new storylines to see if they work before writing or drawing them…if i didnt have MaDD i dont know what i would do with myself
And maybe it is a disorder, but disorders arent necessarily a part of yourself that you have to shun or get rid of or hate. Most disorders you just have to live with, and find ways to make them manageable. If you can live your life the way you want to even with your disorders, thats a good thing.
And most disorders also have plenty of pros to go with the cons, and i feel like loving your disorder because of all the good the pros bring you, regardless of the cons, especially if the pros outweigh the cons.
I dont think loving your MaDD is a bad thing. You can love the benefits you get from daydreaming even if some days you feel down because you feel like youre wasting your life away daydreaming, or because it hurts you physically or hurts your social life. And yes, it is important to talk with a therapist on how to not alloe you MaDD to control your life, but that doesnt mean the daydreaming itself is something you should hate.
Sorry for ranting here, and as usual feel free to debate anything ive said or add on your two cents, im always open to any counterarguments or alternate points of view as long as you are respectful about it.
