Hi. My name is carrie and i believe i have MD. My daydreams are very vivid scenarios from family to people i've seen in shows. I just came across this but don't know much about it. I have been daydreaming like this from a very young age. Around 6 i started and it ended up until 11 then they came back i can't sleep without daydreaming. I thought it was my ADHD but i could be sitting in a restaurant waiting for food and if no ones talking im daydreaming or about it. It almost become an obsession or routine im 15 now and daydream every night, in the shower, sitting waiting for something. Sometimes when im daydreaming i start speaking out loud or when its late at night and im getting a snack and its just me i start speaking out loud but in my day dream if that makes sense. Or make hand movements involuntarily and get kind of shocked because i didn't mean too. I would just like to better understand if i do have MD or something else. And seek out others like me if so.

Welcome to the forum, Carrie!
It honestly sounds like your daydreaming is more immersive than maladaptive. Maladaptive daydreaming is daydreaming that interferes with your ability to function, usually your ability to do stuff efficiently at work or school or maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. A lot of people daydream a significant portion of their day and even if they're vivid, unless it interferes with your ability to function, it's most likely immersive instead of maladaptive.
