Is there a way to quit maladaptive daydreaming?

Hi so I’m new here on this community and I’ve finally found my people because I can’t go one day without daydreaming. I’m 16 and have been doing this since I was very young so like probably around the age of 7 but I only learned that there was a name for this condition probably around 13 or 14.

It has ruined my life. I can’t go a day without making up fake scenarios that will keep me entertained. I would say that music is the biggest trigger and that’s why I’m on my AirPods all the time.

I feel like I’m missing out on experiencing real life and just watching time pass me by because I’m too busy making a fake life in my head, and I feel like I can’t get anything done because of it.

I feel like my life in my head is wayy more entertaining so when I come out of that zone, doing simple tasks without doing it is slightly harder

Is there a way to stop it?

Ever since I turned 16, 15 year olds seem like babies to me

Ever since I turned 16 which was in January idk I just see 15 yr olds as babies even some of my friends who are still 15 (I’m a sophomore) maybe it’s because I was absolutely depressed at 15 I don’t even wanna associate myself with that age anymore but It’s funny how life works anyways cya

Did Ariana put something in the new single “hate that I made you love me”?

I’ve never been so drawn to a song this much before I’ve listened to this for 3 days straight and nothing else. And it’s not like it’s a song that’s any different from her other ones like when eternal sunshine came out I wasn’t even that drawn to it, definitely not as much as this. but still wtf I just cannot stop listening to it she has to have put a spell in it or something. Idk if it’s the haunting vibe or the change from her using high note belting in songs to a more lower monotone voice. But anyways what are your thoughts on it?

I mean this in the most respectful way I’m not trying to be rude either if it comes across that way. If u want to, by all means post about it but personally I would just block them and move on
