Hi i am suffering from anxiety disorder and maldaptive ndaydreaming, when I was a child I thought daydreaming was normal, I used to have a plot, currently in the 7th season of my made up world. It is very stressful and frustrating to zone out from your own imagination then realizing you almost took daydreamed for hours, almost finishing a whole day. It is really affecting my day to day life,, I can't afford to see a therapist, neither would my parents understand the importance of mental health, and others started to name call me for being 'crazy' please I hope someone will help, it's been 7 years now since I got md

see it's not a thing that will go away overnight ..so instead of thinking about getting frustrated by it . u can use it as a reward system for urself ..just in case ur daily work or studies gets affected as daydreaming is taking lot of your time ..you can say to urself ..let me complete this chunk of topics or work  and then i will spend 2 hours for daydreaming ..or whatever time u want ....in this way u will have a study break as well as have ur work done without losing much of your time ...with further time ..keep decreasing your daydream reward time by some minutes.  daily ..

monalisa13, I cant control daydreaming, I  began to daydream anywhere anytime (unintentionally), one of the main triggers is music and real life experiences. maldaptive daydreaming disorder,, is quite disturbing, i can also daydream, serial killings, r@pe and so on all out of my control, and it's hard to pull myself out. However I really appreciate you took some time sir/ma'am to read and commented under my post, thank you for the advice and I'll try to do that, as an experiment. Thank you very much.
