i’ve recently just found info about MD and very shocked that the symptoms/signs are hitting everything i have. i didn’t know this is an actual mental disorder. i’m confused and i don’t know if i really have MD, i don’t want to self diagnose or whatever. i want to seek help to a professional but i don’t have the time or money for that, is there someone i can talk to online about this?

I might be too quick to speak, but last I knew MD is not an officially recognized disorder. It is still being researched and not very many psychologists (or whatever the term for the researchers in the field) are looking into this. So it hasn't been officially added to the DSM (book psychologists use to diagnose), but it's also not just made up. There is real science going into this. For now, only we can determine if we got MD or not. Nobody here or on any site has an official diagnosis, but we suffer from this nonetheless and online groups like these allow us to try to get through this together. In addition, we often can choose to participate in research for MD while on this site. However, that is optional, and those opportunities also are not constant.
And if you still aren't sure, there are other people here who aren't either. Nobody would chase you away because you aren't sure. This community is welcoming and supportive.

As someone said, no one here has an official diagnosis because this condition is so newly recognized that not many medical professionals know about it. Talking here on the forum is a safe bet. It's free, you're talking with other people who understand what you're going through, and there are a lot of good tips scattered throughout the forum on dealing with MD. |

hi in also new here... when I was younger daydreaming was an escape for me but I never thought much about it, just thought I'd eventually grow out of it or something but it turns out I was really wrong. Here I am at 17 and the moment I listen to any form of music I go into this intense mode of daydreaming. although I am aware that these arent realty I've begun to lose self control where I allow there daydreams to continue for hours and not realise how much time has past... I feel so afraid and confused and I had no idea that this was considered a mental disorder. Is something really wrong with me? What should I do? Please help...

Talking with people here on the forum can really help alleviate the fear and confusion. I don't think there's "something really wrong with you." MD is somewhat of a cross between and unhealthy coping mechanism and a compulsive behavioral disorder. Figuring out your triggers and the core reason why your daydreams have become maladaptive can be very helpful. |

I tried not to listen to music because it was triggering my day dreaming but now I'm doing it without listening to music. I blocked music apps so I go on YouTube to listen. I need YouTube for classes but I cheat on myself. I don't know what to do. Maybe I do. It's just I have so many regrets. I'm in university and at this rate I'm going to fail classes.

ivdy I totally feel you. I have the same problem. I daydream when listening to music every single day for about 4 hours. I tried to cut off listening to music, but it only lasted for 2 days. Then I got back into the same rhytem. I usually fantasize about certain events and people all over again and again. I just cant control my mind. Have you found out any new solutions to this yet?
