A poem that expresses my desire to be in my second world:
A WorldOf all the places that I could be I lay my feet to thee Creatures small and grand Would travel to thy sea and land But oh what unfortunate traveler I am For thy country I cannot touch But when I sleep during the day And at night, awake I am You exists, I feel, I'd say Thy name be fantasy And such a dream you are to me I'll be thy citizen Forever until I see. Hello!
I am new here, and I just discovered that I'd been Maladaptive Daydreaming for roughly 5 years already. For me, this thing is actually beautiful, I can't imagine my life without it. I don't think I need a therapy but rather this is therapy, I turn my bad days into better ones through this, maybe if without this, I could have gotten into depression of some sort because of my overly overthinking personality. This also had nurture my creativity. So far, this condition had been truly good to me, but I am also aware that this is NOT totally harmless. I know this is something I should take control of, and I am learning and hope to learn more here I have noticed some bad effects of it in my life: I am highly absent-minded, I forget things that happened in the real world easily, and because of how I am so withdrawn into my fantasy world, it's already tough fitting in in the real world. Nevertheless, I truly celebrate my uniqueness, it's actually wonderful that I can like watch an entire movie and at the same time control it, with the power of our limitless minds. I think if I were to write it all, I could have written like more than 15 books already, but I'm not really good at turning it into words, so I think I'm just gonna have it for myself and just enjoy the wonders it'll create.
Also, I wanna know who among you here are daydreamers from the Philippines? ^^
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum!
Do you write poetry often? Your poem is very beautiful!
Its good that you're able to consider your daydreaming to be a good thing. So many of us are completely out of control and have such an unhealthy relationship with daydreaming that its sometimes difficult for us to imagine not hating it.
Recognizing that you do get negative side effects is good. Because you're able to recognize them before they get completely overwhelming, it will likely be much easier for you to keep that balance between daydreaming and real life in a healthy equilibrium.

Thank you! I do write poems very often. I don't consider myself great at it, but I enjoy it anyway. It's one way I can express my thoughts. I am worried, what if maybe in the long run, it would completely take over my life, and I would hate it. I had read people's experiences, and I can see that it had become a curse for some of them. I'm worried but I don't want to lose it, so I'm trying to, just like you said, have a healthy equilibrium.
