Hello! Female 23. I’ve had MD since about junior year of high school I believe. It started with me just staying in my room for hours on end daydreaming about TV shows, anime, and movies. I’d imagine myself, an original character, or the canon characters in new situations. I always listen to music while doing this and walk around the room endlessly.
I’ve noticed that I’ve been able to stop MDing for a few months at a time, but once I get the opportunity it starts right back up. COVID and quarantine certainly didn’t help. Now that I’m on a break, I spend most of my time MDing (outside of getting basic chores and responsibilities done).
My MD habits sometimes interfere with schoolwork and house chores, but not to the degree that things don’t get done. I’m actually quite happy with where I’m at in life right now, but I’m embarrassed that I can spend 3-4 hours a day just daydreaming while listening to music. I know I need to get outside more, but I feel like I NEED to daydream. Like these ideas in my head HAVE to be thought out. I’ve tried writing as a way to healthily deal with MD, but I get so distracted.
I can’t tell if this is a problem, or if it’s just a weird quirk that I don’t need to worry about. I know what my triggers are, but I absolutely don’t want to sacrifice EVERY show and movie I find interesting just to stop the MD. I can’t imagine giving all of that up. It’s a long introduction, but I just wanted to get that all off my chest.
