One of the worst things about DD for me is not only my inability to stop (and the effects that has on my life and relationships), but my lack of desire to do so! For example, when one of my fantasies starts to become boring, I get restless. A few days will go by where I'm like desperately searching for something new to daydream about like a drug addict searching for some dope! And that instead of using that opportunity, that clarity in my head to focus on something real in the real world.
Can anyone relate to this?

I get like this from time to time but then I go back on my old stories and change them a bit or I start watching movies and new ideas for a story will come to me . Think this happens to us all from time to time.

It does happen to me from time to time. During those periods I feel kinda depressed because of the lack of stimulation. So I'll watch a shit load of movies, Tv shows, read books and spend hours on pinterest to find new ideas (kinda like you do I guess)and most of the time it works. And when it doesn't it just means I need a rest. Even in my daydreams I will have to just imagine my character doing little everyday things that make me happy until my mind is less agitated and then the story ideas start coming back.
But you're right, isn't it weird that instead of enjoying our minds being quiet for a while, we just get obsessed until we get our fix?

I know its the problem with MDD we are always looking for a fix when we can't daydream. Haha!

I have many story lines developed over many years. If I get bored with one then I switch to a different story line or, every now and then, start a completely new one. But I think that the days of the long story arcs and hours spent per day in an alternate world are behind me. Today it is more short sprints than the marathons of days past.

I rarely look for new themes - they usually come by themselves. New themes are actually a rare thing for me - I usually use the ones I’ve developed with years over and over.
However, now I am really looking for a new one, because somehow this time the old ones really stopped triggering me hard enough.

I'm not really into new themes too much. Usually new inspiration comes by themselves when doing character development. Like creating newer and newer branch of stories

I’ve had times where I need to find something to keep the daydreams going, and when I do, it’s either overwhelming or underwhelming. It’s almost like an addiction, as in you want it to stop but you feel you need it. |
