Cameron,
Daydreaming has really taken a toll on my reality. I feel super out of touch with real world things at times. I don’t even fell comfortable going out places because I’m so awkward and don’t know what to talk about. Being an adult and being a maladaptive daydreamer makes things a lot more difficult. The worst thing about having no support is people not helping you understand how to do certain things. I hate this. I hate how it makes me feel. I’m sorry for ranting there’s just so much I want to get off my chest to a community that finally understands more than any other person has. I feel dumb talking to people because I don’t catch on easily to things and there are certain that I just don’t know. It used to make me think I was possibly on the spectrum. I just couldn’t find any other explanation. Even the way people talk to me makes me feel like I don’t understand adult talk or how to do things. I feel pathetic. I feel like a joke at 21. This is not how I imagined what being an adult was like. I’m sorry again you guys I’m just not ok right now and there’s so much going on that’s super overwhelming and I just don’t know how much more I can take.

We are all here for you and can relate to how you are feeling. I felt like that too a while ago not been able to communicate with people as I didn't know where to start. I think its because we go into our other world so much we miss things that are happening with other people in our lives and get lost when we try to catch up on it. I don't know what is normal for madd but I know that it does interfere with our lives in different ways. Have a look around the form and take you time when you want to post something. You might find someone has a thread already up that you might want to join in in conversation.

Well, I feel like a joke sometimes, too - and I'm more then twice your age... "Out of touch", yeah, I have that since childhood, feels like being an alien on earth sometimes, doesn't it? You are not alone Cameron, katie already said it. We hear you and we can relate to how you feel, no need to apologize. You probably don't believe me right now, but it will get better. Small steps, one at a time.
