Hey, my name is Franco, 20 years old, I’m from Argentina so sorry if I make any mistakes here, english is not my first language. I found this blog while researching about MD and I thought maybe sharing my experience would help so here I go.
I found out about it not long ago, through a tiktok
. I didn’t think it happened to that much people, and honestly I never thought of it as something I wanted to stop doing until a couple weeks ago. I think I started MD when I was 5 maybe, I remember it very vividly, sitting in my bed and talking to cartoon characters I liked. I don’t know how I got here, now I daydream about anyone and anything. Sometimes it’s just me talking with my irl friends while drawing or exercising, sometimes I’m someone else, a famous person I like for example, so sometimes I’m me and sometimes I’m not.
I read someone here that said activities like reading or drawing helped them distract themselves from daydreaming (that’s really cool btw), but even when I’m doing little tasks like those I feel like I’m being watched by whatever character or person I’m
of at the moment. I can read in silence, draw in silence, craft something in silence, but in my mind there’s still someone sitting right beside me, so I’m not actually distracted from MD. It’s like I’m always “performing” even when I’m not talking to myself at all. I’ll still try this tip though.
The last time I fell in love I completely screwed up and I didn’t even confess to him, I just daydreamed about him for so long and so many times that actually dating him seemed unreal. I crushed on him for about 5 years while being only friends. I remember this one specific MD in which I’d go to his house whenever I was feeling
and his mom would let me in and talk to me until I felt better (I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE). It actually made me feel better in real life, and still nothing about having MD made me feel as bad as that.
I like someone now too, and I really really like her. I just don’t want this to happen again. I already told her about this, not as in “I think i have some kind of disorder”, I just told her I’ve been daydreaming like I’m acting in a movie since I was a child, and that sometimes when I’m playing piano I imagine she’s sitting there and watching me. I wanna stop doing it, and it’s even worse because we’re in a very strict quarantine here in Buenos Aires, so I can’t see her.
This all sounds just pessimistic but I promise I’m actually happy that I found this blog, I’m very positive about it actually, and I hope we can help each other
I don’t know how to finish this in english so i’m gonna go with
xoxo
