Day 1 quitting MD
Hello, I’ve been maladaptive daydreaming since i was 7-8 years old. I figured out that this was actually harmful for me a few months ago but I continued to day dream anyways out of habit and comfort and now I figured I want to quit. I’ve had enough of wanting to live a life that’s never going to happen unless I take charge. I always tell myself “ I’ll do this soon “ “ I’m excited to have this in the future so I can finally be fulfilled “ but all that does is add onto my emptiness. Instead of working towards my goals and getting that feeling of relief after completing something, I reward myself right away by imagining all the things I’ve ever wanted, relationships, situations ( even if they’re mundane ), certain items and hobbies. Instead of trying to work for those things my daydreams already give them to me and I feel rewarded and complete so I feel no need to work for it. If I stop now maybe I’ll have a chance at obtaining the relationships and life I have craved for years.
I’m sorry if I’m speaking in circles this is the first time I’ve ever talked about this
