I talked about how I am getting help for my addictive behavior side of things it runs in my family so I have to be careful. Lately my life has been good well like everyone there is up and down but not a thing like I went through a few years back with my mental health and my daydreaming saved me in ways. I talked to my mental health consultant about it before and the way she describes is like a child with their comfort blanket which I did not like but in ways I get it even doe its more complicated than that and she doesn't get it as much I am always needing the comfort of my daydreaming no matter how I feel its just to get me through the day.
Now that my life is busy and I am making the effort to go out each day and be with people that I am comfortable around its like I want to let go of madd but it doesn't want to leave me and its hard when I know I am going to go through a tough patch and need it there for me.
The addictive side to madd is much stronger than I can imagine and letting go of my other bad habits is what I aim for so now that I have a support team madd seems to just want to follow me around the place waiting for me to go into my world when I need it or not.
gradually replacing my bad habit with good ones and focusing on the people that are there for me and building back up my friendships is given me the support I need when I am down but in ways madd is there for me and all of us when we can not express how we are feeling or if we just want to keep things to ourselves as long as it not interfering with our well being or mental health.
Just wanted to share a bit of an insight of what my mind does be thinking about with this disorder from time to time.

the main reason for I finally joined this forum is a kind of similar. I've spared much energy and time to lead and improve my real life, and my efforts had results. I go out more, I've reunited with my ex univ year-mates, who I have common things to talk about with online, regarding that we studied the same, and I also joined their theater goer group (another question is that when the performance is not good enough, you know, what I do for 3 hours). In work, I won my own project as leader, I want to do it well. Also I went to bed in the nights tired as hell. I had neither time nor will to mdd. And what happened? Mdd totally stayed, but it was like a very bad broken record. It was far far worse, then when a silly song is stuck in mind. It was neither entertaining to any degree, like before, nor creative any longer. My brain repeated hundred times heard lines that could not change or improve or anyting. My storyline was like a starving animal, hungry for continuation, and killed me with this boring, non-creative repetition. I have never been in such bad condition in my life in context with my mdd. It was the time when I googled and found this forum. I do not know what I have learnt from this. Im afraid, that it is the fact, that it remains. No matter what efforts I do IRL, it stays, and embracing, accepting it and using it is still far better than this plight I described.

You seem to be on the right track and your daydreams don't want to let go and I know that we can learn whats in our mind from them but to focus on way the trigger is there before we give in might give you some insight to what is going on plus if it lingers then I recommend a app I am using to let the urge pass Stop,Breathe, and Think I have recommended it before and the person thanked me so see if it works. Any personal issues talk them out with someone you trust we are always here if you need is and sorry again it took so long to reply still learning about its disorder as I go. Thanks for sharing. Hope this helps. X
