Hey, my name’s Katie, I’m 30 years old from the Uk. I can remember daydreaming excessively in my teens to the point where I couldn’t even get ready for school, but it curbed for a while during my late teens/early 20s. For the past 6 years, I’ve been a stay at home Mum and my daydreams are back, and can be so consuming some days, for example, since learning about maladaptive daydreaming, I’ve daydreamed about telling my characters all about it 🙄 My goal for 2019 is to hopefully tame my own mind, as I’m hoping to progress professionally now that my children are in full time education. I feel like this is holding me back and taking up so much of my time, and I sleep so little too, as I like to stay up late for some uninterrupted dream time. I find it difficult not to hate myself for being like this, and feeling that way it’s so conducive as it just makes me fantasise more. So I’m hoping that joining this forum will allow me to get some help in overcoming this, even though part of me would happily live like this forever.

SAHM here too. I see so many people talking about how MD subsides when they start a family or whatnot, dunno what magical curative properties their pregnancies had for them but mine only got worse with kids.

My favourite place to daydream is the car, I like to blast music and just be interrupted. However, as they get older, they have started to question what I’m doing (as I sometimes like to act out scenarios) orcthey interupt me and I find myself getting frustrated with them - this then makes me hate myself, as I’m upset with them over something that’s essentially all my doing.

I feel this in my soul. Not being a snappy douchecanoe to my kid is my main motivation for curbing MD. I fear the day he notices we've listened to the same song for the entire 20 minute drive to school lol.
