Hello, I am 23, its finally reliving to know that i am not alone into this. i have been daydreaming as a kid everyone would say i was lost in my own world but i was happy then as a kid negativity didn't got to me. Growing up it has been an on and off issue according to my subconscious pleasure i guess. It's like and escape world where i myself would direct act and review my own movie. its lately in a journey of self discovery I have realized that its taking toll on me negatively. Its been more then a year that I have broken up with my longtime boyfriend and its like ad obsessive thought of him running in back of my mind . it feels as a slime that i am trying to remove off but it still sticks to me. This has paused my life and i am trying hard to get pass through it .I am trying alot of things medication recently started journalling to get rid of this habit as its only consumes energy of mind and doesn't let me live my present at the fullest and I dont wanna do that i don't want to cry over my past or be anxious about my future . I want to live my present at the fullest not in an alternate daydream of my head. I am an introvert but i am trying to get out of comfort zone and be social but this habbit seems to be an obstacle everywhere bcoz it is with overthinking . I hope i make sense . The worst part is this anxiety has taken toll on my health but i am trying to work on myself trying to be positive . Writing this in another hope of seeking help on how to deal with it . Thankyou for creating this community.

Welcome to the forum!
Since MD is frequently used as a coping mechanism, developing healthy coping skills should be beneficial. Mindfulness, a healthy coping skill, can also teach you how to nonjudgmentally come back to the present--a useful thing for MDers, who drift off regularly and often beat themselves up about it. Exercise, another healthy coping skill, can relieve anxiety and the tension that comes with the urge to daydream.
