Hi,
I ended up here from reddit. I had no idea that there's a forum for MD!
About my MD: I have been doing this since childhood- as early as 8 years old or probably even before that. Some of my worlds are as old as me and some are new. There are many recurring characters. I have struggled all my life to get rid of my worlds and focus on reality. But I always end up dreaming again and again. At this point, I believe that my brain's auto pilot game is way too strong to be defeated. My worlds are it's default circuits.
I would love to hear from anyone who made it out of MD or who have improved over time.

 It’s very nice to meet you here. My story is kinda similar to yours - daydreaming since I remember myself and very many daydreams are romance-oriented. If you ever wish to discuss it, I’m here. I kinda managed to make mine less intensive than it was before but it took months and years and I was mostly working with the real life issues. Do you want to get rid of yours at all or just to reduce it? |

Thank you, Alison.
Get rid of them totally! They are stopping me from living my life. But losing them is losing myself. Even then, I just want them out of my mind.

I feel the same way. Triggers? WTF is a trigger? I am ALWAYS on. I don't know that I'll ever actually defeat it, like you said, but I have gotten better over the past few years. Cut out music, put a lot of effort into getting out of the house; no more turning down invitations or blowing things off. I told my SO who has been supportive and helpful, and I've found a kind of "hobby" keeping up with the various MD communities, WHICH! weirdly doubles as a kind of 'journal' therapy for me. Still a long way to go but I'm pretty pleased with the progress, and, to be honest, if it moved much faster I think I would panic and pull myself back. |

Hello Welcome to Daydream in Blue. I guess with overcoming MD we have to retrain the brain to break the MD default settings. I've no idea how though! Hopefully here we can all find ways to as least gain a little control. |
