So every professional I worked with knows about my daydreaming so much so would say they check up on me from time to time and have some questions no and again well can only count them off of one hand.
I have started my new therapy and my therapist told me that daydreaming is mainly based on rumination. my feelings towards that where she doesn't know much about it but then I ruminated over it in my mind for a few weeks so yeah that happened. For me I am back into I can't control it again things in my family has happened changes that really have my mind in a panic and not liking that I am starting to loss control again and people having an input on how I should be when I spent 3 years losing my reality in ways that still hunt me.
For my its like my life line when I am so unwell and needing just to have a space for my mind to get away from my symptoms weighing me down for hours on end each day. I use to think I could find the way to let go of it after these few years I feel like I am holding onto it again I did this though my teens before I know what I was doing. Now I am doing it again and its like I am sticking up to the choice that it saved me again even doe it over most of my days. It could have been a symptom itself that I was slipping hard for a few years as well but I made it though and I am relaxed that I am starting to feel much better each day.
What are your thoughts do you think I mind is where we ruminate or is there some reason like mine that you might not give yourself a difficult time for it too take up so many hours a day and its not something you minded when you need it.

Just like most of us MD was and is your safe space. Other can't tell you how you should be only you can. They don't know what you feel, how much you actually struggle, so don't worry about what others say. I know what it feels like as I just crossed a similar situation. Just know its alright to DD. Just reduce it slowly. You don't have to feel guilty about DDing it not your fault. Your past trauma and negligence by your family caused it not you. Its not easy to let go of something you've been doing almost all your life. Its like a toxic relationship you know its bad but you can't let go. Its just a coping mechanism you just have to find another one which is healthier. I know its not easy and it will take time but you can start by not beating yourself up, it helps trust me. DM me if wanna talk I would love to help
