Hello. I'm Sibylle. I live in Ottawa, Canada. I'm 40 years old, married and mother of two (4 and 6 years old). I have been daydreaming my whole life, but only recently figured out that this was a disorder (which makes SO much sense). For me daydreaming is maladaptive in the sense that I find that it affects my way of interacting with people in real life, and has therefore negative consequences on my relationships. This unfortunately includes my children as well. When taken with a particularly pleasant daydream, I can spend several days in a row where my interactions with my children are practical and minimal (and I'm not even mentioning my husband here!), and this is not the person I want to be. I think I have a pretty good life, and wish I could find a way to have that be enough, to find a way to not constantly look for something even better in my head!

Hi and welcome to Daydream In Blue. I'm sure there will be so many people that can relate to how our MD has had negative consequences on our relationships and day to day lives. x

Welcome to the Forum, Sibylle! Hope you’ll like it here. I can relate to the problems with interactions - when DD takes over, my interest to all people, even the dearest ones, really drops down :/ I see that you have it this way too - I hope this place will help you.
