Hello, my name is Lucas, and I am a 20 year old college student from Brazil. As far as I remember, i've always been a daydreamer, I love imagining things, and I consider myself to be a very creative person. One of my hobbies is playing tabletop RPGs, and I'm usually the dungeon master, so I'm the one who imagines the setting and create the situations for the other players to play in. Ever since i took up that hobby, I became very interested in worldbuilding, so I have an entire fantasy world inside my head that I've been "working on" or a few years now.
However, there is bad side to all of this: I spend a lot of time just daydreaming, and it gets in the way of me doing my chores and college assignments, therefore my academic performance has been suffering because of this. I take several hours to do a simple task because I get distracted all the time, and I keep walking in circles in my room, fantasizing about random stuff. To make matters worse, now I'm stuck at home because of the pandemic, being forced to take online classes and having to manage my own time.
I've been going to a therapist for almost a year now, and she thinks I have ADHD, but none of the medications make any difference in me. A couple weeks ago I found out about Maladaptive Daydreaming, and I think I'm going to ask her if she knows about this disorder. Did any of you had an success with treating it?
TL;DR: I'm very unproductive and my therapist thinks I have ADHD, but none of the medications work. I think I might have Maladaptive Daydreaming, and I'm curious if any of you had any sucess with treating this disorder.
