I totally relate to your point about daydreaming real life goals,and the daydreaming almost prevents us from achieving those goals in reality.
If anyone ever says 'just stop daydreaming'. They obviously don't have MD.
Alyssa Marie yeah agree
Quarantine has made my maladaptive daydreaming worse. I used to be able to function normally (only daydreaming every now and then) because I was extremely busy. But now that I’m not busy with activities such as simply going to school, participating in sports, and generally being around others. I have become extremely lazy and unproductive in my studies. I’m trying so hard to control it but I keep getting bored and prioritizing it, instead of taking care of myself. I also didn’t even know I had M.A.D before quarantine. I always just thought I daydreamed a little and it was normal. Until it began disrupting my life and consuming so much of my time.
Anyways, thank you for posting videos like this. It has been very informative for me and helped me out a lot. I wish you well.
You're venting --it's okay to vent. The timing of your video is interesting for me. I just woke up to start my day but only slept 3 hours. The last week my MaDD was super under control, then last night, I had a daydreaming marathon, just could not stop. I could literally see my hours to sleep ticking away, but I couldn't stop. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I know how difficult that gets.
im struggling at the moment as well, I’m in a cycle of stress -> daydream -> more stress -> daydreaming and it sucks
I sometimes feel like this disorder has completely destroyed my life. My brain is clouded with things which don't exist when actually my life has gone down the road to hell.
dont be afraid to reach out for help! you can do this💓
So glad I found your channel. Had this all my life thought it was just me. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone.
I’ve explained maladaptive daydreams to people.... in a maladaptive daydream. That’s where I’m at
I’ve talked about all my problems, including MaDD to my psychiatrist, in my daydream of course.
Same. I'm actually on a mission to help other M.D in my daydreams. 🙂
I struggle with anorexia on top of madd. If I'm not daydreaming I'm obsessing over food and my body. My brain is constantly clouded with useless thoughts and I haven't done anything productive in a month and my uni classes are starting again tomorrow 😣. It's exhausting. It seems like you daydream even more often than I do so I can't imagine how hard it must be for you. I'm sending you virtual hugs and hoping you'll get better 💕
Aw thanks for posting Evie 💗 showing all sides of MaDD is just as important if not more important than just trying to “focus on the positive.” Lots of love to y’all 💗
Emma Wyss ❤️❤️❤️
I can actually relate to the things you're mentioning in this vid a lot. People don't understand how difficult it is to deal with MaDD. Yes, it has great traits, but it weighs heavily on overall mental health. Recently, my MaDD has been giving me a really hard time, and it seems that others are also dealing with some increased level of stress due to MaDD right now. Sorry that you've been dealing with this. It'll pass and things will get better in the future, just focus on yourself - your own health and happiness for now. Others watching your vids will understand.
If you can’t tell I (Eleven) edited the video, normally fifteen and/or Six does, that’s why it’s not as great hehe.
Nuu it’s not awful! ❤︎
I learned to control mines by turning it on or off manually and can go for a long time without it. But triggers are what I can't escape from. Sometimes it just randomly pops up in my thoughts or runs in the back of my subconscious especially when watching something. It drained me so much to the point my body learned how to reduce it and ever since I function normally but still go into that world a little bit every day. I had it as bad as you when I was younger. Maybe if you give it time you will reach the point I have without getting help. Maybe it is just not your time yet to have total control over it. It could be the DID that makes it harder and slower to get to the point I am at. Just have faith in yourself and get help if it is too much. We are here as a community for you I do not know you but I love you and take care of yourself. For people saying to turn it off, she was not lying. I bet you are going to say but you said earlier that you can turn it off. Yes, yes I did but I said for a long time but it is always there and it always pops back up no matter what. That isn't turning it off. To turn off something you are stopping its functions but my daydreams are always there so say it sleeps for a time then gets backs up.
Hey! I'm a teenage daydreamer just found that I also suffer from MaDD through your videos and I seriously feel awful! I've seen people saying(on social media) that it takes a lifetime to recover from it and I got really scared bcz I had expected so much from my life. I had a lot of confidence on myself which I'm losing after I got to know this! Trust me I'm trying hard to conquer it and get rid of it! I know it's not a one day tast but it needs patience still I'm just trying to live in the present moment! But I just think I'm losing faith within myself which I don't want to! I need help but I can't ask anyone about it in my real life bcz I don't live in a society where people would even listen to me about it or maybe it's just me who is afraid of telling but it really sucks! I just want to leave this habbit no matter what it costs! But at the same time when this very feeling of daydreaming will come, I won't be able to control myself! Although I've been practicing mindfulness since some days but I need more help!
Not the “I do way too many steps in a day” 😅😩 That really hit me. I would literall just check sometimes to see how many steps I did at 12-3 in the morning.
The struggle is so very real. Balancing life’s responsibilities can be hard enough but MaDD makes it all the more difficult
Hope it gets better soon ✌️
Alexis is MaDD hehe
most of the daydreams are about the things we crave for like compassion,love,fun,excellence
try to find what's the emotion that u crave for.
Try to get it in real life.It may help.(Hope it does🤞🏻)
This was so important. I can't thank you enough for posting this.
Struggling a lot too at the moment. My real life has been on pause for so long. Daydreaming, going to work and connecting with my boyfriend are the only things I have been doing and daydreaming is the chunkiest bit time wise.
I hate it when I have dreams about my real life. Like I'll have a dream about something I've daydreamed about. So when I wake up, I instantly have the urge to daydream..... I don't think anyone should have to be using daydream/dream THAT much in a sentence.
I can completely relate, I daydream about things I would love to achieve in reality but I end up too exhausted to actually make those daydreams true and honestly it’s quite upsetting. The things I daydream about achieving are perfectly realistic and plausible however my daydreaming simply leaves me too slumped to achieve these dreams, it’s a vicious cycle.
Maladaptive daydreaming is a monster 💔💔💔💔💔.
I feel, I know and I experienced every word you say. I can't stop it or deal with it cuz I've been going through many difficulties in my life, family issues and my own insecurities and many many stuff, and I just keep escaping from reality all the time. I try many times to stop it or control it, but I fail. All the times I try to suicide is because of it. I spend all the time inside my head dreaming, I can't focus or achieve any things, it also increase my anxiety and not comforting me any more 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Ugh, I get it.....MD takes a lot out of you, especially when you're a pacer like me! I wear myself out and can't get anything done
it takes time and some days i find myself daydreaming actively while doing stuff like talk outside daydream cleaning but in a different world
i hope u find a way to help it
Do you pace while dreaming?
I finally found out why I have maladaptive daydreaming and catatonic behaviors… it was all C-PTSD.
I just found your channel and I love it! Keep up the good work!!!
Daydreaming affected my exam. Me and my friends all studied together but I open book and lost in dream.
Because of that my all friend pass the exam and I failed.
In second attempt of exam I tried to control the exam so atleast 15 days I control daydreaming and Also studied hard.
But after exam I started dreaming again..This time also I failed. Since exam It’s been 20day I daydreaming but today I start control again . Today is 21 day after exam and exam held on 4th of December.
So please pray for me so I control daydreaming ,studied hard and pass exam.
May God help you and bless you
I can imagine it's not easy
Keep strong🌟🌟
Does this make sense? I feel like even though my daydreaming and "addiction" to it is affecting my life (skipping school, ignoring messages from friends, not doing my hobbies, barely sleeping, etc.) I still feel like i probably dont have MaDD. I still feel like im faking it. I still feel like im not valid. And that means that i feel like im not valid enough to ask for help with it, i feel like im not broken enough to need fixing. And that means that i just let myself get worse.
Well i daydream mostly bout my life and the only way to stop it is to try to fix those parts of my life that iam unhappy. It may be hard but its the only way
I've always saluted you for being as consistent with making videos as you have been. I know it must be maddening at times with what to talk about, what to say etc, and trying to organize this while daydreaming 99% of the time. I'm sure we all (your subscribers) understand, and we appreciate your voice on the matter. Be well Evie, and be safe!
dont stop posting🤗😛😇
That's the first video that i've watched from your chanel ...i guess that i'm feeling the same way as you about my maladaptative :( i want to stop it :(
i had and still have maladaptive day dreaming for the past 1 and half a year , like it suddenly appear out of nowhere but i guess the reason why is i read too much manga . but the thing is my family don't have a problem with it like i will sit with my leg crossed listen to music and like rock my upper body from side to side ( if you understand what im saying xD ) and like they find it funny and that's all but for me like if i see them watching me i feel super embarrassed and will refuse to say what i am daydreaming about . somedays i find it SOOO tiring i want it to stop but most of the times i can't or just stop for like 30 min and then continue again ..... and it got like really bad with quarantine.
**not me maladaptive daydreaming that I'm the one talking and doing random hand gestures**
