I'm creating this thread for those who are so deep in their other realities that they don't know what positive experiences await them when they leave.
Today I was walking outside, I resisted my MD and forced myself to focus on my surroundings. After some minutes, I was observing the garish autumn leaves and I began to get some productive ideas; "I should've brought my art supplies". I decided I would always bring them with me.
What about you?

Oh, great idea for a thread EGV! Yesterday I got a phone-call from a friend and instead of just answering her question and end the call I told her about this forum. We talked for over an hour and it was a real connection. We decided to talk more often. |

My positive benefits from resisting my MD for the last while is that I get on better with people now because I am getting to know them more rather than filling that emptiness with my daydreaming plus you get a better fulfillment out of it.
The other thing is that I am been more ambitious in my life and seeking more things to do. i.e. Want to get back swimming.
Thanks its a good way to look at things.

Today I have made some soup. It's with carrots and potatoes and it took me some time to prepare all the ingredients.
That was a good distraction from everything.

I'm on my second day of not listening to music for seven days, because music is my main trigger I have noticed that:
Like you have mentioned all of you, you keep more attention of the people, and ideas can flow easily. Also there is a thing that never happend to me, I'm having MDD of my self in scenarios. And for now, on my second day, it's working, I'm having less MDD, I could say a 50% - 60% less than before.
But... Not listening music at all it's more painfull than I tought, It's the most boring feeling that I have gotten so far. Having restrictions of something you like it's not easy, Also I'm playing less video games. Later I'm going to stop listening to music and playing video games in another seven days if all goes good. I'm going to make a post for every seven days of self-maratons. And share what happens.

When I want to listen to music I do so when I am busy cleaning my room I will keep my mind doing something productive it works sometimes say its something that I will gradually not have to worry about my daydreams kicking in. The thing to remember with us daydreamers is music is one of our biggest triggers so it something that will take time. Yeah do let us know how you are getting on. :) |

Today I went to a science museum. It wasn't as interesting as I hoped it would be, but it was enough distraction again.
Of course it would have been much better to go with someone else but I try to convince myself that it's still better to go alone than to stay at home with my imaginary friends.

Like 1 hour of music but only when you are being productive with an activity like housework? |

I guess the only positive thing I'm managing to do when not daydreaming is do the housework and list some things to sell on ebay but even that is making me depressed and anxious as people buy things and then mess around with payment and collection. I just want something enjoyable to happen in the real world that makes it worth being in!

Today I wrote a long mail in English. That certainly stopped me from dreaming.
Benefits? Well, exchanging thoughts with an actual person, I guess. And focusing my own thoughts to actually write them down.
