I found out that MD Is an actual thing today I hate it, but it’s like a drug I can’t stop I don’t want it to stop because it feels like it’s my only friend But I need it to stop because it doesn’t feel healthy.... It interferes with my life Causes short attention span Even sometimes makes me lie about reality It’s like theses dreams are the new reality Even now I’m daydreaming about daydreaming I’m 18 years old and for the longest time I’ve had this illness It’s spoilt lots of relationship I used to think it helped with my anxiety and depression Truly it just made me comfortable haven’t anxiety and being depressed.

Welcome to the forum!
Daydreaming itself is normal and necessary, but daydreaming to the point where it interferes with your life is when it becomes maladaptive. You don't necessarily have to stop daydreaming altogether (and its honestly not possible to completely stop), but regaining a balance between daydreams and real life is a good goal to have.
Many of us do use it as a coping mechanism for other mental illnesses, so cultivating other, healthier coping skills could have a beneficial effect on your daydreaming as well.
