A couple weeks ago my daydreaming was pretty bad... I was daydreaming around 6 hours a day, to more. I am much much much better now, thanks to university and the new friends I made. I am daydreaming less than a hour a day, fellas! Sometimes I don't even have time to go into my deep daydreaming and I stay just fine without it. I am very proud of myself for overcoming it like that.
I noticed that one of my biggest triggers wasn't movies or shows... It was people. People I wish had said something, done something, that I wish I was with... Remembering their existence was very painful and still is. Social media stalking some of them most definitely didn't help. There is a guy in particular who I used to daydream a lot about, someone that hurted me like hell. I am finally leaving him and my daydream version of him behind.
I am glad to say I am much better, and watching certain shows and movies I know won't trigger much and not stalking on socials is what is helping the most, beyong all the stuyding and the new social life I started to have.
It gets better, and then it gets worse and then it gets better again and then it's awful and then it's great again, maladaptive daydreaming is something really hard to have and overcome, but let's keep trying.
Hope yall get better and the ones who have already gotten better, I hope you guys get full on cured and start to daydream like a normal non-sick individual! We all deserve to be ok.
