Hi my name is Sarah. I am 17 years old and have been daydreaming sense I was 10. I found out about this today and only just found out about MD about a month ago. I never really thought is was a problem till recently. Daydreaming consumes my life up. I never felt like I had a good teenage years because I didn’t want to do anything. I would cancel plans or make up excuses just so I can daydream. I do it for about 4 hours a day. I have to listen to music and be moving or just about to fall asleep. Sometimes I get so involved in them I start talking like I’m in a conversation. It is also the only thing that gets me to sleep. I haven’t ever told anyone not even my parents who I tell everything to because I’m embarrassed. I feel like if I stop my life is going to be boring because in my stories I get to be the hero or the main character. I get to be the person that saves everyone or I get to be the one everyone falls for and loves and is jealous of. I watch a lot of tv so I can get my ideas from them. I feel lonely without them. I feel like this is my life and is my coping mechanism. Part of me wants to stop but the other doesn’t. I don’t know what I would do without it.

Hi, my name is Vitória am I from Brazil and I discovered Malaptive daydreaming about a a month ago, but I just really researched about last night and when a look at the symptoms I have sure that's what I have. I've had this for three years, but it became a problem last year because I can't control it, when I'm studying or cleaning the house I just stop what I'm doing to have these dreams, I can't even have control over my own emotions because when the main character gets or angry I also get, I can't focus anymore and I'm afraid it will continue and that I won't be able to control it anymore, I'm afraid that I won't want to leave these dreams anymore, and I ended up throwing my life away or that I won't be able to complete my goals because of that. I'm glad that found this, because I've always been the stranger in the family who walks around making faces and talking to myself and I can't tell what's going on. I'm happy to have found people who understand me. (sorry for my english, i'm still learning)
