Hello all! I looked up my symptoms into the all-mighty google and realized that I had all the symptoms associated with MD. It then had a link to this forum where there are other people with this condition. I am so happy to have found it as I know I am not alone. I've had MD probably since forever, but my first memories of it were when I was 10. It has been up and down over the years and was really prevalent in high school as I had a lot of free time. I'd catch myself doing it while in university, but not as often. But now, I'm on summer break with not a lot to do BUT dream. Im nervous I will fall back into my high school days haha. One way I used to 'cope' with it, would be to write out fanfics that were my actual MDs. The real big issue with my MDs is that they all involve me and a romantic interest(s) of sorts. So it becomes hard to stay happy in relationships when I am always going to be satisfied with my MD ones. I am scared to tell my friends and family as I do not think they would understand. My family for sure won't and my friends would probably just tell me to 'focus' or 'just stop'. But they don't realize how difficult that can be. It really is like a drug as I get happy when doing it and when it's over. But yeah, all in all, I'm glad I found this site and that there are others who also have romantically driven MDs and I'm not just some weirdo romantic. I've felt weird and crazy all my life so this is a big comfort.

I've felt weird and crazy all my life so this is a big comfort. yeah i view mdd as an addictions. and it probably is , something you just cant stop (or at least thats how it feels). and about the "better relations in daydream" topic, i want to say i have heard this quite a lot actually and i kinda understand. i have that struggle with family. i have so much "cooler" and "better" family in my daydreams that i keep isolating myself from the real ones (even tho the real ones are a little less traumatic . i even have a cyborg/government test cousin in my dreams). and to be honest i dont really know how to deal with it. just keep in mind its "unrealistic" and "fake" i think. but welkom to the forum and glad you found us . and let me now if you want to ask somethin about my experience

It's hard to NOT isolate yourself from the real world when the world we've created is just so damn good . That sounds so cool! None of mine have really been syfy related. Yup, just trying to rein in the fact it's not real and the only reason why its so fantastic is because we make it to be. Thank you and same to you!
