Hi I'm from the UK and in my early 30's
I have been maladaptive daydreaming since I can remember possibly 13 years old but I have started before then.
I have the same world, characters and plot going ever since then.
I think I developed this as an alternative to living an emotionally abusive life as a child and bullying at school. I tend to delve in deeper and deeper becoming distracted from well everything.
Music is a big influencer too.
More and more this is becoming recognised which is amazing because 10 years ago it was pretty much unknown even though I knew what I had wasn't normal.
I don't know if I will ever be able to stop even though it does interfere with my own life. Essentially I have two lives. Luckily I'm on anti anxiety meds which make me feel better but do not nessicarly do anything for it.
I have a slight nervous twitch which is a stretch in my hand but no-one has ever really noticed it which is weird.
Recently I have become really good at pretending to be normal and greeting people with a smile, small talk, e.c.t no-one knows not even my married partner.
