For 2019 I really wanted to stop my MD. I's my senior year and it's time to stop. I'm done with it. It was nice in the beginning, but now even tho i feel relaxed when in on a daydream i feel SO BAD.
I am so done please someone help me with tips or something like that, i have stopped for a couple of days but i am already going insane, my body craving a new imaginary reality.
Does someone else feel like that as well?

I understand how you're feeling. However, its important for you to know that its not realistic to expect yourself to stop completely. Everyone daydreams. In fact, daydreaming can be really important for creativity and goal-setting. Perhaps the better way would be to cultivate a different relationship with your daydreaming. I highly recommend the daydream less December challenge thing from @beyonddaydreaming on Instagram. It has you do one challenge a day, with the goal of changing your relationship with daydreaming and understanding things about it better.

I gave up music (for the most part, I still listen in my car). Put myself on a sleep schedule, didn't help at first because I take hours to fall asleep, brain doesn't care if I'm in bed or not, it won't sleep on a schedule, but I started taking pills, melatonin supplements, and they have helped with that a lot. I also go out a lot more. At least one place every day, friends, family, or if there is nothing else I run errands... even if I don't need to, can never have too much butter!

Does someone else feel like that as well? I do feel like that from time to time. What I do now is not try and stop them all together. I try finding a balance. For instance I use mindfulness to practice getting out of the daydream in a gentle way, through awareness of my breath, and I talk to my family about it so they know what is going on and can give me a gentle push instead of being angry with me for zoning out. I tried stopping completely once and that isn't possible for me. |

I keep forgetting to mention something that has really helped.
I have left some very dysfunctional relationships behind. That has helped in the sense that I don't need daydreaming quite as much. Certain personality types really triggers my daydreaming.

MD has been linked in the past to AD / ADHD. I have been referred to a clinical psychiatrist since I have all the hallmarks of ADD, and in a very life-destroying way too. So perhaps look into that and see if you have any of the following:
fails to pay close attention to details
has trouble holding attention on tasks
has trouble organizing tasks and activities
loses things necessary for tasks
appears forgetful in daily activities
has a short attention span and is easily distracted
makes careless mistakes – for example, in schoolwork
is unable to stick at tasks that are tedious or time-consuming
appears unable to listen to or carry out instructions
I think MD, and whatever is behind it, be it ADD or something else, has stolen hours of every day of my life. Like I said before, it's not something that makes me unique, and I hate it and I want rid. I hope Ritalin kicks its arse.
