Hello everyone, My name is David. So this is all new to me, I've never thought another human being would know about this side of me, much less me writing this down at a forum but here's my quick story:
I think all my daydreaming ventures started when I was about 7 or 8 when I got my first stick: a blue lightsaber from star wars. Now Star Wars being my favorite franchise my mind would go wild recreating my favorite moments. Time went on and my depression got worse, so I ran away to these worlds more and more. I started growing these worlds adding elements from different fantasy worlds. It got to a point where my fantasy grew into the life I always wanted. The setting varied but the theme was always the same I start from nothing where I grew to grab the life I wanted. A life where I got the girl, where I was powerful and could change the world, a place where adversity grew me stronger to where I was loved, respected and feared by those who'd bring me down. Now here I am 21, still have my trusty old stick, still going to those amazing beautiful worlds where all seems right. I always knew it wasn't quite right, like kids had long put away there toys but here I am playing with a stick. Its something I'm deeply ashamed about. No one knows except my parents cause I feel like the world would see me as a freak. Now it affects my life where I spend most of my time there whenever I had the chance. When I'm alone in my room, when I'm driving, or simply when I just have time with myself. I thought it was something that was different with me, something no one in the world went through so I kept it to myself. Funny enough I was scrolling through instagram today and found this meme about maladaptive daydreaming read more about it and it led me here. I'm really relieved to know I'm not the only one and honestly glad I found this forum.
