Hi everyone. I’m new to this group, but not new to MD. I’ve always enjoyed long car rides so that I can listen to music and daydream. Ive found myself daydreaming during conversations and planning to have time by myself so that I can daydream.
I’ve always thought of it as me having an active imagination and I thought it was special that I could daydream so vividly. I came across the term MD today actually, and it’s explained so much about my life. Firstly, I’m glad that I’m not the only one who experiences this because I could not, even if I tried, explain this to anyone in my life.
I never thought MD was a problem until I realized that it was the source of my insomnia. My brain does not shut up at night and I find myself daydreaming without planing/wanting to do so. I want to sleep, but I can’t because all of these daydreams take over that I can’t control. I’ve had an issue falling asleep since I was very young and I’m still having trouble with it to this day.
I barely get any sleep and it’s extremely frustrating....any tips? Also, is MD something I should really be concern about?

The problem is when it's affecting your life in a negative way because it's addictive and constant, and involuntary/compulsive, and you'd rather daydream than achieve things that improve your situation. That's when it becomes "maladaptive."
