Ever since I could remember myself, I've been dreaming and creating fake scenarios. I used to play these scenarios with my friends, and even my sister's friends for quite sometime after my ties with most of my friends were severed. We even considered ourselves as babies with my sister until my teenage years (which, probably is eerie), and I'm afraid we still act child-like around one another. During my high-school years, my daydreaming spiralled out of control and, while I'm perfectly aware of what's going on around me and my sense of reality, I've started to devote ENORMOUS times to my daydreaming wherever I am (mostly in lectures and my 'down' periods). I've always thought there was something wrong with me; something I couldn't share with anyone. Purely by luck I managed to find 'maladaptive daydreaming' disorder (I'm not so sure if it is considered a disorder in psychollogy, or just a state of mentality), and most importnatly, I found this forum (and Wild Minds Network) which is DEVOTED to what we're experiencing. I'll probably write a lot more in-depth posts here, but it's incredibly relieving that there are people that experinence what I do and share them here. Whoever had the idea for such a place deserves eternal thanks, tbh. Thank you all for being so brave and expressive of yourselves, and I believe we're all a lot more than what we make of in our dreams. It feels great to find this community!
