So now when I don't know what future is waiting for me so I just created lots of problems in future and also solve them and feel sad for those problems and also cry and fell happy when they sorted everything is in my head my body is just laying on bed and thinking it's really frustrated for me to accept i daydreaming and waste too much in it and think about useless waste think when I came back from mdd and i m helpless I cant do anything just feel regret

I want to know how can I stop this because while doing mdd not only mind but my body getting tried I fell pain in body my arms and feet have ache after mdd special shoulder get tried and painful is same thing happened to someone else how you deal with this situation?

MD made me believe that one day a miracle would happen and suddenly everything in my life would be fixed.

In my daydreams, I am settled, healthy, beautiful, stress free, successful and finally living the life I always wanted. Every problem is solved there. Everything feels perfect there.

But when I come back to reality, everything is still the same.

That’s the hardest part.

Instead of facing problems slowly in real life, I kept waiting for the “perfect moment” that MD showed me again and again. I thought one day everything would magically change. While people around me were moving forward in life, I stayed stuck inside my head.

MD gave me comfort, but it also made my expectations so unrealistically high that real life started feeling boring, empty and meaningless in comparison.

Even when life is going okay, one unresolved problem becomes huge in my mind because in MD I already imagined it solved a million times.

And that loop is exhausting.

I control MD for some days, then suddenly fall back into it again. It feels like a loophole I can’t escape from. But I still don’t want to give up on myself.

I know healing is not a miracle. It’s probably going to be small boring steps repeated again and again in real life — not in my imagination.

And maybe that’s what I need to learn now: to stop waiting for a Disney life and start building a real one, even if it’s imperfect.

I still want to fight for my life back.

I got almost control on it but it coming back bc i again triggered by song , celebrities personal life story, and some more things triggered me again I did not realise that I am watching triggered again so it getting High and also i stop doing exercises in early morning and not drinking water properly which are helpful for me I forgot those things also

I started watching useless reel and short too i feel that they are biggest triggered in my life main culprit of mdd now I am losing control on it

Is anybody have any solution plz give me i will be thankful

My chennal going wrong audience even I am adding correct tags title description # related to my short still algorithm sending to wrong feed I have highlighted engaging video so people giving me like but after some times my views getting stuck so I checked and audience is wrong

Whenever I face problems in real life that I can’t solve on my own, I feel stuck and overwhelmed. I don’t have the support or environment I need, and sometimes I can’t fight back or change the situation because it feels like it’s out of my control.

In those moments, I automatically start maladaptive daydreaming to escape. In my head, I solve all my problems perfectly—over and over again. Everything feels better there. But in real life, nothing changes. The problems are still there, sometimes even worse.

So I end up going back into MD again, avoiding reality instead of facing it. It feels like a loop I can’t break.

Recently, I was actually doing better. For about a week, my MD reduced a lot and my focus improved. But then something personal happened, and it triggered everything again.

I also feel very alone in this. I can’t talk to anyone about my MD, so it stays inside me, and that makes it worse.

Another issue is that because I already “achieve” things in my MD, real-life progress feels slow, boring, and meaningless—even when I’m trying.

Has anyone else gone through this cycle? How do you deal with MD when it’s your main coping mechanism for things you can’t control in real life?

Only The creator of all creation will saved me from this situation

There was a song I used to love so much… but I stopped listening to it a long time ago because it triggered my maladaptive daydreaming.

But the weird part is… even now, that song keeps playing in my head again and again. I haven’t listened to it in so long, yet it feels like I’m hearing it right now.

It’s like my mind refuses to let it go. The moment it starts playing in my head, I get pulled back into daydreaming without even trying.

It’s scary how something I don’t even listen to anymore can still have this much control over me.

When I maladaptive daydream, it feels really good… like everything in my life is finally sorted and perfect. In my mind, my future turns out exactly the way I imagine it. I keep telling myself that one day, when all of this actually happens, that’s when I’ll truly start living my real life and enjoying it.

But right now, it feels like I’m just waiting… waiting for those dreams to come true.

The hardest part is when I come back to reality and realize that nothing is actually happening the way I imagined. And maybe it never will. I’ve been dreaming about the same things for years—more than 10 years—and still nothing has changed.

It makes me feel really sad and depressed sometimes. I start questioning everything… like will my life ever get better? What if things never turn out the way I see them in my head?

And that feeling hurts so much that it pulls me back into daydreaming again… because that’s the only place where everything feels right.

I had been controlling my maladaptive daydreaming really well for the past few days. My mind was calm, and I wasn’t creating stories like before.

But today something happened at home that caused me emotional stress, and I couldn’t avoid it or react to it. After that, my MD suddenly came back. My mind started creating stories again and repeating them, almost like a coping mechanism. I always feel that my family didn't care about even now one in world has value me

I even caught myself wishing things would happen in real life, and my mind started imagining different ways those wishes could come true.

It feels like I lost the control I had, even though I was doing so well before.

Has anyone else experienced MD coming back like this after emotional stress? How do you handle it without falling back into old pattern

I’ve managed to control my maladaptive daydreaming by more than 50%. I’ve removed most of my external triggers, but I still feel cravings.

Now something new is happening. Instead of creating fantasy worlds, I’ve started turning my real life into MD. For example, I imagine myself following a healthy diet, exercising, becoming successful, improving my skin, and building my career.

Earlier, I used to daydream only about the end results (like already being successful or perfect), but now I’m daydreaming about the process—like actually doing the steps in real life.

I also notice that I sometimes turn real people into “characters” in my mind.

I am actually trying to follow these habits in real life too (exercise, diet, self-improvement), but I’m confused:

Is this a healthy shift, or am I still stuck in MD in a different form?

Has anyone experienced this stage?

I’ve been trying to control my maladaptive daydreaming, and I’ve made some progress, but I still struggle with it.

If anyone has found something that really helped them—any methods, habits, or techniques—please share. I would really appreciate any advice or experience.

I had almost gained control over my daydreaming, but recently I had a dream at night that was exactly like my old MD storyline, as if it was continuing or getting fulfilled.

After waking up, I found myself going back into that same daydream again.

It feels like my progress got disturbed because of that dream. Has anyone else experienced something like this? How do you deal with it?

I’ve been working on controlling my daydreaming, and I’m making some progress. But the main thing holding me back is my old MD stories and characters.

They keep coming back, and I feel attached to them. I really want to forget them completely—like remove them from my mind and make them vanish.

Has anyone else experienced this? How do you let go of old daydream stories and characters?

When I was exercising regularly and drinking enough water, my MD was less. I also noticed that when I wasn’t constipated, it helped. Staying away from music—no matter what type—also made a difference, because every kind of music triggers me.

Today, I didn’t exercise much and didn’t drink enough water, so I’m experiencing more MD compared to the past few days when I was doing everything right. My sleep was also disturbed today, and I watched reels, which triggered me too.

So I feel that not only the environment, but also diet and routine are triggers for me. The good thing is that I’m learning to control my MD, and maybe one day I’ll forget about it completely, like it’s nothing.

When I was a child i felt only I am the one who dream . after that I came across its called md & lots of people have it but I don't know who they are so I feel like little amount of do it not soo much so sometimes feel I am dum and no one do this like I am doing accessively now after reading reddit post I feel that it's completely normal special when u have a desire and it didn't fulfill i assumed that when my desire get fulfilled i automatically stop md and accept real life may be . But I start accepting it now most of the time my brain on autopilot mode but now I have my control on it my md get lesser bc I know it's common and basic thing everyone is doing same and it's boring too so I am lacking interest in md bc i always want do think which other people are not doing and in previous i feel that i have some special powers of thinking or I have some kind mental illness but it nothing just a desire childhood trauma and some embracing movement the people who witnessed thing and who give me trauma they have already move in their life and get rid from my life too they even didn't recognise me or remember old memories about me I am already last in race of success
