I read all of your blog entries and I thought I must have written all of these and didn't know about it. You sound like me, are you me? I suffer from the same things you do, Maladaptive Daydreaming, social anxiety, mood swings, etc. One time I drifted off into fantasy land and the next thing I know I had been pacing back and forth in my room daydreaming from 7pm to 3am the next day.

Whenever I am in class, I daydream the whole time. Whenever I am anywhere in public, I daydream the entire time. Whenever I am by myself, I daydream the whole time.

Recently, I have started to improve. I have been taking multivitamins, eating healthy and working out. I noticed it's improved my mental health, not by much, but its a start.

hi

i know how maladaptive daydreaming feels...i "used" to suffer from this...it makes you a slave of your own self..you want to break out but you cant...its just too much compulsive..it makes you mad...and yes also suicidal....when you see a bird flying in the sky so free!!! so beautiful!!!..you do smile for a second but the very next minute your smile is gone..you are scared..what if it takes you again..what if it attacks you again....no...after years suffering from this thing...i finally decided to face it...come hit me if you can...break me if you can....i wont bow down...you cant hit me...you cant break me....becoz from the inside i am made up of infinite strenngth ...and months and years of fighting these feelings, i did overcome it.....i never ever took medication.today i lead a normal life....a beautiful one...and yes, i do see the sky and the birds ...my smile doesnt vanish...its perpetual....to be a role model for others, you must show the world that you are strongly built....and yes i have suffered from it since i was 4 or 5,after sufferening for more than 11 yrs today i am 18...i am right now....perfectly right and i want to do something for all those who are suffering from this diesease...today i am a brilliant computer sceice and physics student.....currently i am researching in computer science and brain models and cognitive systems...i have myself devised out certain therapies for mal. daydreaming.it worked for me..these therapies need no medication but yes these need meditation and will power...via computers, i am trying to model md (maladaptive daydreaming) mathematically and to give relief to all those affected by it...some very top men in the industry are also willing to participate with me....such systems could be very useful in solving problems of maladaptive daydreaming, ocd etc.....i will keep reading your blog keep it up....writing makes your heart lighter...if you have a message or any question...just post it as a comment on this blog..i will see it regularly.....lastly be brave!!!!!and be a role model for others...remember that life is a fight, a battle and sometimes this battle is fought with the self...do not retract...fight and know that you will win....and you will win.....

Codie, maybe I am you. Maybe I also have multiple personality disorder :-0

Anonymous,
I am soooooo glad that you are trying to spread around the good cheer.
That is what I *truly* want to do, how do not get trapped by melencholy "oh my suffering!" thoughts? Traps me everytime.

hello,
im the anonymous guy who posted the previous post on 5th feb...your question "how do not get trapped by melencholy "oh my suffering!" thoughts?" ..and there is a simple answer....remember that medication for md has not been developed yet...there is a lot to do in this field...and i do know that counseling is extremely costly...and for many it is unaffordable.... remember you can fight your melancholy....be bold...get up and fight...something about my self.....my early years were never pleasant....you know why? becoz i thought this world is made up of bricks of sorrow....always remember....the life around you is beautiful and very very beautiful...sorrow and worry are voluntary forms of suffering...remember that you dont take sorrow...you dont be sad..simple to understand???yes ofcourse, simple to apply??well thats a question i leave it to you.....and when you realise that the answer to this question is yes...its an indication that you have become strong.....remember life is made up of bricks of joy and ofcourse love...love for your family or freinds....remember everybody loves you....and u love them all.......please never get disheartened remember that people like me are always your good friends....people who have suffered through similar incidents but have broken through this phase, who have fought this phase....let me tell you an incident which changed my life....im in that phase where i have to study a lot...every time due
to md ...i lost myself and transferred myself into this dreamworld...i felt angry...but that night i dcided to FIGHT...i converted my anger into the courage to fight...that day...i decided to fight....i fought....i had the will power..so i fought alot......kept fighting..and i won...and i am sure you will win too.....and be happy.......very very happy....see the life around you...its beautiful....remember that every single feeling in your brain is nothing but a electrical signal in your
brain...you dont need to be afraid of an electrical signal right????so be very very happy....keep smiling ...enjoy life...its short....ok...and remember that if u need a friend im always there as i have faced for 13 to 14 years what you are facing right now....one question to ask what is your ambition in life, if you dont have one..build one today... that helps you going in life...best of luck

the real challenge comes not from the external but from the internal, a winner in life is he who beats the internal...external victory is then spontaneous and auomatic...so fight your internal temptations, resist them with might.... win them over...feel free to reply back and ask further..bye
