Hello, friends. Before anything, I would like to apologise for my English if it turns out to be rather unexplainable(?). I found this forum by accident when I was searching about MD and read a few articles and stuffs. First things first, I am a 20-year-old female and I'm if I could call it MD, but I know that I have been daydreaming quite intensely(?) with detailed and developed(?) plot lines and characters and such. I couldn't really remember how long has it been but my earliest memory of daydreaming such things would probably be around 14 years ago. It started fairly mild and then proceeded to develop in a more complex manner. I wasn't and still am not particularly sure if such intense daydreaming is what most people would consider 'normal' in a way. I haven't really shared anything in regards to this with anyone and this is a first. I haven't read much from here, but my daydreams are somewhat diverse(?). There are times where I daydream scenarios I wish would happen and sometimes having debates with myself or a character I made up. Most of the times, I would transport(?) myself to another fantasy-like, complex- built world I created and imagining myself as someone else or more specifically, another version of me. And I'm not certain if this is normal, but I also act out scenarios as if it is real. I'm always secretive about this, and am only daydreaming out loud when I am certain I'm alone. I do not hate daydreaming, instead I look forward to do so everyday when I have some alone time. It is what I would say, a safe place and have pretty much helped me manage my feelings as well as anxiety at some point or another, though that depends. Sometimes, it helps and sometimes it only pushes me more towards overthinking about irrelevant stuffs. Again, I am if it's considered MD and somewhat still confused about myself, as well embarrassed to know that this is not what many would consider normal. And though I have considered talking to a therapist, I am somehow scared to talk about said topic myself. I have also considered on trying to stop daydreaming but at this point, it has been with me for long and I somehow do not wish to stop. But again, I do not want to self- diagnose or anything and am looking forward to learn more about MD and such from this forum. Anyways, thank you for reading and I hope life is treating each one of you nicely. :D Thanks again, Aeth

Welcome to the forum, Aeth!
Daydreaming is generally considered to be maladaptive if it interferes with your real life and/or it causes you significant distress.
