Hello everyone, I can't actually believe this exists,my sister told me i have this and i laughed it off, but now I'm certain. I have lost hours upon hours living in a fantasy land. I went through a break up about 18 months ago and I started to recognise something that I hadn't before. I would get up to "go to the toilet" and spend an hour or so in my room daydreaming. I use mine as a way to process my feelings and to not let bad things get on top of me. So it was definitely worse back then. But things have settled to my normality. It's comforting and yes although there have been times where I forget to eat, I feel like my daydreaming has really helped me over the years. The main downside for me is when reality hits. Which I don't allow to happen very often. But when it does, I come crashing down. I have really dark thoughts about not wanting to exist or being worthless or pointless(but I love life and I love being me so i would never do anything to myself). So I just listen to music that encourages scenarios that will make me cry. Then I go to sleep. Cycle over and I'm happy again. I am able to live a relatively normal life and I think of my daydreams as life goals. So they comfort me. Anyway I just wanted to share my little part. Hope you are all staying safe.

Hello Diane, Thank you for sharing a little bit of you’re experience. I often remember the times I’d spend the evening listening to “something in the way” by nirvana and crying myself to sleep. I used to call it my cleanse cycle haha. At this point, I’m indifferent about my MD but I’m happy you enjoy yours. I hope you’re doing well and even in those scenarios, they can feel so real for us Mders. Stay safe and well especially during this time. I wish you well on your journey in this. Hope to see you around the forum.
