cuz i really want one of them but not sure if i’m gonna trade sweet set for it or not

should i do it?

I am a depressed person (not too many people know this) and I struggle a lot with maladaptive daydreaming and everyone around me thinks I’m dumb, weird, or someone who never pays attention to my surroundings even tho It’s my brain. I also enjoy daydreaming so is there any way someone can help me and tell me how I can stop this?

I’m 12 years old and I’m depressed and having anxiety and I don’t like telling anyone because my feelings don’t really matter I just like talking on it in Reddit because many people also go through the things I go through even tho I always maladaptive daydream 24/7 even tho I know it’s not going to do anything for me I’m always stuck in my mind and overwhelmed and overstimulated especially in school and I know people are going through worse is it ok that I’m feeling this way at just 12 or am i just overreacting?

as a maladaptive daydreamer myself does anyone else struggle to find a hobby they like because i’ve been trying something all the time for years in summers and i still can’t find one and everyone around me has a hobby which makes me embarrassed when someone asks me about my hobby or what I like to do does anyone also have difficulties finding a hobby they like?

maladaptive daydreaming (MDD) is not officially a diagnosis because it’s not included in the DSM-5-TR but why is it not a diagnosis? even tho it’s a kind of common and many people suffer from it.

have you guys ever felt like you were dumb in a situation or just in general because of something?

Has anyone ever thought they were the only ones that have maladaptive daydreaming since they’ve never met anyone with it until they found out what it was? It’s surprisingly common!
