I just started learning about Maladaptive Daydreaming. I am concerned I have it or something. I did not even realize until recently that I am doing these things. Like I can control it in public, most of the time. But when I am home and alone I start acting out these day dreams. They have people from my lives, characters from books and shows, and artists I am listening to. I don't understand why I keep doing it. I want to be able to stop doing it, I feel like I am losing it. I have been doing this for years. I do not know how I can keep myself more in control of it. I am scared to talk to my mom about it. Any kind of advice or understanding would be really appreciated.

Here's a link to the diagnostic criteria; Might help you sort of if it's MD. Mindfulness and CBT seem to be what researchers recommend the most. Avoiding triggers and addressing underlying issues are right up there in terms of self-care as well.
