Just a suggestion, an ideal , long shot , whatever you wanna call it But if our younger members who have been fortunate to discover this forum have an upper age limit of say 25 ‘If they haven’t managed to use Md for either giving , or taking,either for say career gain in creativity, or say voluntary work for the sensory deprived, or both , rather than for just escaping, then set about trying to find professionals to help escape it Brave thing I know

I can't quite tell the tone of this post, in part because it is just text on a screen, but I don't think you quite understand how harsh and how impossible it can be to control MDing. Sometimes, yeah, I do use it for school work if I need to practice a presentation or something. Most of the time, however, I use it or it just comes on when I'm dealing with a bad situation at home. I'm sorry I'm not using something that is literally debilitating to better the worlds of others. I'm also sorry I can't afford professional help because a therapy visit can run 100$ an hour on the low end of the scale.
I think just getting by day by day is enough for most of us. So please kindly bug off.

I don't know if this post is trying to say what it sounds like it is or not, regardless, MD isn't exactly recognized as a disorder, getting professional help can be harder than one would think. Personally even if I had access to professional help I can't imagine how I'd explain this or how I'd be interpretated or if I'd be taken seriously. I can't imagine talking to my parents or friends about this, anything beyond is, well. But if one can, sure it could definitely prove to be very helpful.

For me daydreaming is more than an escape. I get fixated on certain ideas, obsess over it for hours. Those ideas feel very important at that time, and I truly start believing in them. This takes months and months. And plots (short stories) are created around it. So it is not exactly like a separate world as other people describe their Md. Sorry I deviated from the thread. What I am trying to say is that apart from escaping, MD is used as a way to explore possibilities. As for being creative, I have never been able turn md into anything productive. Seeking help is something I want to do. Mental health issues are not much recognised in my community. All people understand is depression and madness.

Well I mean no disrespect My tone is that of a middle aged man who began Md like many as a result of early trauma , who genuinely thought I was the only one doing this ( nothing on this earth such as this forum even remotely existed in the mid 80s)and I have managed to usefully use Md for absolutely precisely nothing And I wish I had And I wish a way others could And I wish I’d known to trust someone with my secret world Because I’ve found too late in life That it’s more “ normal “ than I thought I’ll bug off now Not cool enough for school

Just some miscommunication. It does scare me sometimes to think about this remaining with me well into my life, I hope we all find a way to use/control MD.
