So, currently i am a 12th pass student. College awaits me and i am, i guess in no position to study really. It is currently my vacation and i have been chosen for a university in urban designing. I want to be selected for architecture but results are yet to come around. Regarding the uni i am applying, it is a crazy space where people work their brains out. I mean it is a place for those people who are total opposite of me. It is making me anxious. My MDD doesn't let me do anything in my entire day. I wonder how i am going to be able to put up with college. Every time i read about a post here, it is always how studies were affected becz of daydreaming and running away from reality. Next to this is hostel problem. Uni is 1 And half hour away from home. I'll have too many model making things going on and working over there. Moreover i am physically too lean to be able to do anything. ME and my parents have decided for hostel facility over there-in sharing with another unknown mate. Can u believe I'll be living alone(not technically but still). I were so openly daydreaming with my parents around (they took care that i don't follow the wrong way). What the heck am i gonna do without them for 5 years? What take do you have for this? It doesn't matter whether i'll be home or in hostel- the thing about getting away from reality and giving up on everything is a trigger to daydreaming, binge watching and eating. Its just that if i live in hostel i'll have more ways to get out of my life- i might ruin my life with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. I MIGHT. I MEAN BUT I CAN BE EASILY INFLUENCED. To me daydreaming is a regret. Watching movies and dramas seems wrong. If i do those things it is so regretful that i want to daydream more. The more i think, i just don't think I'll fit in this college life at all. I'll be ruining life to such a great extent that it will be hard to get out. I really don't know what to do. Can anyone tell me what i can do or just share something similar that you have gone through? Thanks for reading

It's hard, diminished motivation is a real thing MDers go through. MD is the type of thing that really makes you love it and fear what you'll be without it. Have you ever heard of Motivational Interviewing? It might be helpful. And look into your uni's student services, often times counseling/therapy is free through their on campus staff. They want a high grad rate, so they'll do things to help students through it.

I just graduated HS and am starting college very soon, so I feel you. It’s so nerve wracking, I don’t blame you for panicking a little about how your MD can and will affect the rest of your life, ‘cause that’s the crisis I’m having. What I’ve been doing about it is trying to do my best to understand and overcome my MD, because frankly I’ve just about had it with it interfering with my life! These articles were the most helpful for me: maladaptivedaydreamingguide.wordpress.com/guide/I wish you luck with college and moving out.
