My name is Drakey. I've had maladaptive daydreaming for twenty to twenty-five years. I haven't had the best relationship with it, and about two and a half years ago, I stopped actively using it.
Since then, I have experienced a lot of trouble with finding a coping mechanism for stress, and I've reached a roadblock in my own personal growth that I think can only be passed by picking up daydreaming as a coping skill again.
Specifically, I have found myself dissociating without being in the specific state that MD created. This uncontrolled dissociation prevents me from progressing in my thoughts while leaving me unaware of how much time has passed. I believe that I need to learn to access daydreaming again so that I can use it consciously and appropriately, but I am afraid that I have, for lack of a better word, killed it in myself. I don't know what to do next, and I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
