I dont know where to start honestly, i had no idea a thing like this even existed, i came to know about it from a youtube recommendation. The thing about my daydreams are that my mind is a maze and its not a place that i would like to dwell in but i also cannot do without it. I dont hate myself but theres this voice and my daydreams correspond with that voice, it makes me think stuff i dont want to. I try to drown it out whenever I can but it doesnt go, I have hour long conversations with myself that prevents me from studying and i just want to stop. I am mostly alone with myself I love it but I just cannot tolerate my daydreams when im trying to do my work. My mind forces me to be socially detached but on the other hand i need a real person to talk to. My daydreams range from socio-cultural debates to me trying to violently attack someone and when im at my worst, daydreams about hurting myself. I would absolutely appreciate some help. Cheerio

Welcome to the forum!
There are a number of things you can do to try to reduce the amount of time you spend daydreaming, but the thing that's likely to help most in the long term is figuring out why your daydreaming became/is maladaptive and processing or treating the cause. Frequently, daydreaming becomes maladaptive as a coping mechanism for things like trauma, mental illness, or social isolation. Because it's used as a coping mechanism, finding and using other coping skills like exercise, journaling, or meditation can be helpful in reducing your time daydreaming as well.
