So I came across an article about MD today trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with me. Why do I daydream so much and why do I talk to myself? Guess it's not that uncommon. MD fits me perfectly. I feel I need to stop but I enjoy it! It makes me happy when I'm not. which is a lot. I've been married for 23 year (my husband has no clue I do this) and I have 2 kids 14 and 16. Can't believe I'm doing this but I hope that maybe talking about this to others who have it can help.

Welcome to the forum Z.
Its so common for MDers to know they need to stop the maladaptive side of daydreaming and reduce the amount of time they spend doing it but being unwilling to let their fantasy lives go as they're so enjoyable. Its actually really frustrating for many of us and I know it is for me. Although the forum is a little quiet there will always be someone here willing to offer support and guidance where they can.

Welcome to the forum!
I know from personal experience that understanding you're not alone and being able to talk to others with MD goes a long way to reducing some of the shame that a lot of us feel.
I agree with Alvi, letting go of your maladaptive daydreaming is really hard, no matter how much it holds you back or how much you want to stop.
