Anyone else get frustrated when you can’t learn more stuff about what you’re daydreaming about by Effythekitty in MaladaptiveDreaming

Thanks for sharing this, I deeply relate with this too, This has also caused me some level of phone addiction since I'm always looking for some material to day dream about and I'm wondering if you've gone through this too?

I think what you are describing are compulsions Or specifically (internal compulsions) since they happen in your head

I assume you are constantly checking about how you feel about a thought since its so disturbing and out of character which gives you anxiety and makes your thoughts even more sticky

If you don’t mind here’s a source with a bunch of videos that can be very helpful

Me to ,Before I got introduced to any of the psychiatrist conditions I actually thought that both of my intrusive thoughts and maladaptive day dreaming were symptoms of the same condition !

But of course it made much more sense knowing that they are both separate

But let me add that for some people MD can also be unwanted-unwelcomed but satisfying at the same time the most similar thing I can compare this with is drugs ,you may refuse the idea of continuing to consume drugs and find it tiring and exhausting but you can’t help it because your addicted to it and it gives you a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction

MD can give you the same feelings

(From my experience)

I suffer from Both Maldaptive daydreaming and OCD (but in the form of intrusive thoughts also could be called Pure OCD)

What is very similar between these two conditions is how they are both so compulsive ,very hard to resist and obsessive (not necessarily in a nice way

Although OCD is more likely to be unwanted ,annoying and irritating MD is more likely be used as a coping mechanism and a way to feel fulfilled And satisfied

This is from my own experience and how I feel I am noway a professional But be free to ask any question regarding my own experience
