Hello,
Thanks for checking out my thread.
A lady living in the USA, I'm thankful for forums that cater to those with MaDD. Can't really say that I knew there was a name for it until a few days ago. Anyways, I was about 5-6 when I think I first started. Living in a broken home was far from what anyone would want. Instead of being aware of everything that was going on, I decided to check out. It was euphoric to put on my headphones, turn on the music, rock back and forth, and daydream about being in a helicopter and flying away.
I would continue this until being influenced by a book I read in elementary school called: "Jane, Wishing By: Tobi Tobias." The images, by: Trina Schart Hyman, would inspire a para into my paracosm. Sailor Moon would be my next inspiration. Eventually, RPGs ( like Final Fantasy, Parasite Eve, and Silent Hill ), in conjunction with those that I met in the walks of life, would inspire even more development of my parame, paras, and the multiple paracosms in my mind. Finally, movies and tv shows, that I'm able to sit through ( and would give me fresh material for my mind to dabble in ), would inspire more paras into my paracosm.
Looking back, I realize how much time I spent in daydream. I could remain in that state for about 1 - 6 hours a day, depending on if I'm stressed or inspired ( aka, triggered. ) Depending on how strong the need to daydream determines my productivity for the day. That's part of the reason I'm here. I have goals I want to accomplish. I don't want to just imagine that person I want to be, I want to live it. I want to graduate from college, get married, have kids, write novels, play an instrument, learn a new language, make new friends, etc., etc.. Pretty much, the reasons for me joining are:
Well, that's about all for my introduction. It's really exciting that there are madders out there. If you read up to this point, I think you're really cool!
Thank You,
Whimsical
