Hey everyone. Hope ya'll are having a good day. Please don't pay attention te the grammar mistakes and stuff(it's midnight and i am soo sleepy). Anyway... I'va seen a post from someone in italy and i am litteraly like ur twin( i'm nighteen, zodiac  virgo, i am planning on being a psychiatrist(yep,it's quite funny...) if ur reeding this it ill be great to chat.. Whatever, i am soo drawning in my daydrdeams. My grades are dropping because of that "shity" daydreaming thing. Iam soo sick of it. Bad grades trigers even more daydreams wich leads to severe depression and the cycle goes again and again. I'm so lost. I cannot help it. It could go over and over again for hours. Everybody notices it from the first contact:they will say something like"you look like ur on another planet" or "are you dizzy" It's very embarassing and i feel so depressed when coming back home. I have seeked traetment... I tried to go to a psychatrist last year.. He didn't even take me seriously. No need to mention that my mom was stressing me out and screaming at my face all the way to the psychiatrist like that was all of my fault.. The MD started when i was 9 i guess. I was severely bullied at school, had no friends,and had family problems. It is only going from worse to worse every year, and the depressing led me to earing disorders and so many crap. I feel like i wrote a looong paragraph. If ur still reading, thank u so much. I just need some advice on what to do next. |

To be frank reading this reply might not ne of much help to you but still if reading... I have gone through an almost similar situation except i was never bullied or family problems. I was someone who always felt she was left out. I just completed high school so i know what all you are going through right now. There are some posts i have made on this. In summary, you have to start again. I know it is frightening but going back to the first square is not such a bad option. Just break everything you have to study to as many parts as possible. Realize how much time you can go without daydreaming- go through that tedious task of putting a timer. Increase by every 5 min the amount which you may concentrate. It can be very frustrating at the start but it'll ease you out after a short time. Thanks for reading |

Hi I just registered myself here. Im a third year laws student. Im really scared and tired with this MD, I want to be cured immediately. I can't control myself when it comes, I spent 12 hours of my day doing this. How I know, is from the tracking record of my phone usage (cause I will imagine things with help of my phone, pinterest, instagram, youtube and google). As im already in my third year, I have a lot of assignments, tasks coming, I am also a scholarship recipient and I have to get 3.5 and above for my CGPA every semester, but I never achieved that ever since I started my Degree, they're being very lenient to me. But I don't know for how long it will stay this way. Everytime I try to study or do my assignment, I will start daydreaming, from my study desk I will suddenly be on my bed, with my earphone, unending scrolling to pinterest/instagram and listening to music. I am also addicted to Kpop. I will imagine im a kpop idol, beautiful, famous, rich comes from noble family. I ended up procrastinate my work, I did not come to class, I do things at very last minute have to stay up the whole night. I did not go out of my room, I enjoy being with myself a lot, this caused me to get bad digestive problem, I dont have boyfriend and I dont really appreciate my friends, I preferred my friends in my imagination more, they suit me more. This is really crazy. Im really tired, I dont want this to bug me anymore. How do I stop this. There are two assignments that I have passed the submission date. I think im ruining my life so badly. I need help. How do I stop this? How to get focus like I used to do it before? I never get focus on anything these days. Even when im driving I sometimes get carried away with my daydream and forgot my direction. I did notice this, at simple things like that also im cant stay focused. Please help me, is there any medication or any way I can get this cured? Cause everytime I sit on my study table, ill start imagine things, daydreaming. I talked to myself of what I imagine (usually dialog from my imagination, smile like crazy, laugh, cry when I feel  , I will imagine things, listen to songs etc. Im legit tired of myself. |

This reply goes for both lola61 and veronica97. Having an interest in your work can help motivate you to stay focused. If you're bored, you're more likely to fall into daydreams. Additionally, you could try to study with other people. A lot of people with MD don't like to daydream around other people, so if you could study with a group, you might be more inclined to actually study. Overall, figuring out your triggers and trying to either avoid them or learn to respond differently to them can be beneficial. I've also seen people who have had success at using mindfulness to train yourself to come back to the present when you drift off. There really is no "cure" for MD. The fix is generally to regain a balance between your daydreams and your real life. |

I agree with sam. I would just add mindfulness is not only useful to come back to the present moment but I also set the mind in a state,in a mood, that prevent daydream.
Some people reported antidepressant helped them, so it may be a good idea to see a psychiatrist and try it.

Some people reported antidepressant helped them, so it may be a good idea to see a psychiatrist and try it. I do think I've seen antidepressants listed as a potential treatment for MD. I would imagine that this is especially true if your daydreaming is triggered or caused by depression. Personally, I've been on an antidepressant for 2 years and haven't noticed much of a connection between taking it and a reduction in my MD, but they work differently for everyone and I'm getting enough of a benefit from it for other reasons that its still worth taking it. Its also worth noting that the one I'm taking (mirtazapine) is not one of the ones I've seen listed as a treatment for MD (I think fluvoxamine was one of them). |

I thought the antidepressants were for the addiction part. Thank you for sharing your experience with antidepressants.
