Hello Everyone!
I have recently looked for help and answers to why I do certain things everyday so on and so forth. I have never told anyone about it or anything as I thought it was normal or just a thing I do. As a child I was diagnosed with ADHD and I was on medication through Elementary School for it. I stopped taking it in middle school as I felt like a zombie all the time.
This part have never told a soul. Ever since I was a kid I would act out fantasies, for example like wrestling, a made up world of different countries, the world's of shows and comics, and etc... As a kid I thought it was just me being a kid... As I got older these urges to do these things never stopped. I am 27 and these urges to act out these fantasies are worse than ever. When I am unable to act these out or whatever, I feel frustrated and irritable. I start to think about it a lot and it is just distracting and frustrating. I literally have deleted and retype this multiple times as I do not even know how to explain it without sounding stupid. These fantasies are all based on fictional worlds and made up characters... I obviously place myself in the stories and it grows from there.
Actually typing that out makes me think I am crazy... I hope there are others that understand or know how to help. I have reached out to a Therapist and I have a appointment on the 30th. I am scared and I do not know why.

Welcome to the forum!
Your experiences are pretty common. As far as I can tell, maladaptive daydreamers usually just don’t grow out of that “preferring fantasy to reality” stage that all kids have and generally grow out of as they get older.
