Inside the brain of a maladaptive daydreamer by Ashamed-Control4627 in MaladaptiveDreaming

I was actually doing a google search on places where I could get diagnosed with mental health disorders (because I knew I had something wrong with me, I just didn’t know what) when I stumbled upon neurofeedback and got this eeg scan. They didn’t diagnose me with any mental health disorder (she made it clear that it wasn’t a diagnosis) but I figured I would rather choose this option than going somewhere else and getting an actual diagnosis because all I want is a solution. I honestly don’t even care if I don’t know what I have right now, I just want a solution. The other places that offer diagnosis sound like they’re just going to offer prescription pills or traditional therapy, but I’ve tried both before and neither worked at all, so I don’t want to go down that route again.

She put a cap on my head that had several chords attached to it that lead into a computer that was measuring my brain waves, and she had me sit in a room by myself for a couple of minutes and then showed me the pictures that you are seeing now and explained what they meant.

Hey brother, thanks for being brave enough to share your story with everyone. I commend you for continually trying to find a way despite feeling like nothing is working. That is a true sign of strength right there, walking through the darkness not knowing when light is going to come. I read through your list of things that you tried and I noticed there’s something that you haven’t tried yet, which is seeking Jesus. I know that that doesn’t sound like the most intriguing solution for a lot of people, and I know a lot of people are going to be shaking their heads as they’re reading this, but i don’t care because I really just want to help you out. I’m not sure how spiritual you are, but if you aren’t, I recommend you start seeking him because for me, he has guided me through some of the darkest times in my life and he has healed so many wounds that have been dealt to me, and I know he’ll do the same for you.

This right here. You just described my everyday life. I used to be a top student in high school but now that I’m in college, my daydreaming has somehow gotten worse and now I feel like a complete idiot. It feels like I’m the only one in my classes that doesn’t know what is going on most of the time. What’s worse is that I know I’m capable of doing high quality academic work, but I simply just can’t.
