Do you daydream?

[KingDanz]

been struggling with a daydreaming disorder since I was kid...developed it as a coping mechanism for abandonment...shyt got so outta control in my 20s I started seeking help and ended up being apart of studies for it

maladaptive daydreaming they call it

im not sure if its an officially recognized disorder yet but researchers have been pushing toward making it one

its really difficult to talk to anyone about because when you tell people you daydream excessively....people be like yeah we all do...but no..for some of us its gets debilitating.

same with me, they more interested in what your daydreaming about. lock me in a room all day with no tv/internet/books, i'd have no issues for entertainment, been doing it since a kid

Eli Somer is pushing for it to get recognized as an actual disorder.

I struggle with maladaptive daydreaming too, op. I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to Cancer when I was young. Maladaptive daydreaming seems kinda common among those of us who have lost a parent because it really is a struggle to live with so much grief. Sometimes grief therapy and counseling helps.

Since my Moms passed earlier this yearI've been daydreaming a lot more. Just curious if other Coli posters find themselves randomly daydreaming about random stuff in they downtime. Examples being daydreaming about being somewhere else, being in a situation that you know would never occur, doing some stupid shyt you know you would never do etc.

Constant daydreaming is worse than a drug addiction. It will ruin your life. I have maladaptive daydreaming disorder (well, I had it). Most people will wonder what the big deal is, but it's a debilitating coping mechanism. Instead of dealing with life. I just check out and stay where I can control the situation. Checking out doesn't make the situation go away. It gets triggered real bad by grief.

It's also a form of OCD.
