Going to just apologize in advance for the word vomit; I haven't slept a wink as you'll be able to see.
It's currently 5am where I am and I've only found out what MD is 45 minutes ago. In some strange moment of intense self awareness I did a google search out of curiosity and long story short, here I am. Daydreaming is something that I've been doing since I was a child. I'm only now realizing how much time daydreaming has taken up my life. Which wouldn't be as much of a problem if I didn't have two children. It's taken up more time now that I've moved out on my own and I'm alone (apart from a nonverbal 2 year old and 9 month old) 99% of the time. It's like some addiction, I can't NOT daydream for more then 5 minutes unless I'm with another adult.
Part of me kind of wishes I'd never googled this, because I'm having some sort of crisis and the way I deal with those is by daydreaming- except the crisis is ABOUT daydreaming. I feel like this is a bad thing for me to be doing (the words dissociation and psychosis really jump out at you). Like some secret, like I have to swat myself on the hand when I start doing it.
I've been diagnosed with GED (generalized anxiety disorder) for a few years now and I've got a really good handle on managing it. It might not seem like I'm managing it well at the moment, but I do. I could handle another disorder fine- if it was something that more then a handful of people knew about, especially people in the medical community.
I read somewhere that there are no known treatments for MD, but that Fluvoxamine/Luvox (for treating OCD) may help. Have any of you tried this? What about therapy? I live in a very small, rural town so finding a therapist that has experience with anxiety is hard enough..
