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?
