Hi everyone, I'm new to this group, but I've had MD for years. The strength of the "need" to daydream has gone in and out over the past few years, but recently it has gotten so strong that it is taking up so many hours of my day (I pace and listen to music). I thought that I had finally gotten better and it had been a few months since I last paced and even then it was only 30 minutes at the most. Does anyone else experience this wavering in strength of the "urge"? Also any tips on how to wait out these "urges"? I also have been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and an anxiety disorder with some OCD. I would appreciate any tips and I am also so happy to see that there are others out there with this I thought I was all alone. Sincerely, Maggie

The strength of the urges is most likely related to how much you're experiencing your triggers. If you want to wait out the urges, you could try being mindful of the sensations caused by the urges. Pay attention to the sensations the same way that you would pay attention to the breath while meditating.
It's nice to meet someone else who has type 2 bipolar disorder, anxiety, and OCD :)
