Hello, I'm new to this forum. I didn't realize that Maladaptive Daydreaming was a thing until I tried to find out what is wrong with me. I've been a daydreamer since I was a very young child, so young I don't even remember when it started - it's just always been how I am. I'm 27 now and I feel as though I have wasted my life daydreaming instead of making something real of my life. I want to be able to stop and not get overwhelmed by the feeling that my real life is so 
and underwhelming. The irony is my real life is and underwhelming because I spend my time imagining something better. I've been treated for both anxiety and depression in recent years. I thought I'd beaten it until I tried to give up this last safety net and realized just how much I need it to even feel like myself. I really don't know how to even start breaking free of this. I want so badly to be able to be happy in my real life. How do I start?
