Of course darling!

No one should feel alone in the world, ever. I’m glad to know that you are feeling less alone and working on getting better. If you need anything at all you let me know, okay? Good luck!

Hey selenaasks24,

You’re not alone in doing this. Have you heard of the term “Maladaptive Daydreaming?” It’s basically a big fancy term that means “excessive daydreaming.” It’s not an official diagnoses one can have, it’s simply a term, like calling someone a bed wetter, it’s not medical science it’s just a description to some people. Maybe this article, which explains what MD is (and the comments of people going “that’s me”) will make you feel less alone in what you are doing. There’s also a tumblr designated to raising awareness for this disorder. Which has a page all about how to handle and avoid these daydreams, here.

Have you considered talking to someone about this? A school counselor, your GP, a therapist, anyone who could talk to you more about how you are feeling/what you are doing, and hopefully discuss things you can do to help!

I’m sorry that your excessive daydreaming makes you feel uncomfortable, one of the worst things about having a physical or mental disorder is feeling like you are no longer a part of “the herd.” Hopefully these links will allow you some peace of mind - or at least let you know you aren’t alone in the world. Good luck with everything darling.
