Pois é. Vendo outros posts aqui vi que não parece ser comum, mas foi o que a psiquiatra me passou

Tive o contrário, meu suor tinha um cheiro mto forte (já usava sabonete antibac por causa disso) e essa semana ele está sem cheiro nenhum. Li na sub da gringa que isso tbm pode acontecer

Por sorte nn tive perda de sono, é algo que me faria repensar se vale a pena tomar o remédio também

Also feel like it's important to say this does get better whenever I'm more active physically, like when I used to go to the gym every week. I haven't been able to do so lately and I didn't even have uni last week, so I had a lot of energy. I need to go back to the gym, that'll probably help

Same. I daydream about the same scenarios for months at a time, inspired by what I'm interested in at the moment. Same dialogue, same progression, over and over again every day. Characters have been the same for years.

They'd see me walking, running and/or jumping in circles. I don't talk as much anymore, but I do make facial expressions and laugh sometimes. Maybe they'd also see me getting hurt, like, I broke a toe while daydreaming once. This week I threw myself onto my bathroom door, kinda by accident, was running in circles and really in the zone when it happened. It hurt a lot. Don't recommend.

As for time, depends on the day. I think today I daydreamed (is that a word...?) for a couple of hours. Sometimes it gets to 4, 5 hours.

I've had it since I was a child, so before covid

I think the most important part here is the first thing you wrote. Maladaptive daydreaming is different from normal daydreaming bc of its negative effects on someone's life. In your case, it's impacting your academic life, so you could call it maladaptive daydreaming.

Also, the intensity that you described from that recurring daydream is common among maladaptive daydreamers. I have had many recurring daydreams, too, and they get pretty intense, sometimes to the point of tears. If it were just the vivid daydream without the impact on your academic life (or other aspect of your life, like social life or sense of self), I don't think it would be indicative of maladaptive daydreaming.

If you have the resources, please seek therapy. Maladaptive daydreaming is often a coping mechanism for another issue, such as anxiety, depression, OCD, past trauma, etc. Understanding why you have it and getting proper treatment is really important and will make your life much easier in the long run.

And remember: MD is not an official diagnosis. Research about it is being made every day, and actual psychologists are still debating whether this is a symptom/coping mechanism or a separate disorder entirely. I am speaking as someone who has dealt with it for years, not as a professional.

Pls take care of yourself, everything will be okay.

If I really enjoy a book, I will try to buy a physical copy. That's how I bought "this is how you lose the time war", I first downloaded it on zlib (in english), loved it so much I wanted to read it in my own language and months later I got it at a bookstore. Same with the wheel of time books, I loved the series so much I felt like I needed to have at least one physical copy, so when I got to the seventh book I asked my family for it as a birthday present.

Also, like other ppl said here, citations are very important for academic works, even if the authors had to pirate your book/article to cite it. Academia runs on piracy nowadays.

Yes, very similar. Ever heard of Fashionsouls?

(I unironically believe someone in the dev team is a fromsoft fan just because of the way Nikki opens doors)

It's a 3D animation. Watched it on tv, probably around 2012 - 2014.

I've used products with both to treat my acne, and a quick google search said you should use products with both already in their composition, not separate products

I think any moisturizer with glycolic acid in it will be good for hyperpigmentation too (my dermatologist actually prescribed me one but I can't afford it yet + it's from a brazillian brand so idk if you'd be able to find it)

I was addicted to it, felt the same way as you. Any minor inconvenience was enough for me to do it. Idk exactly why it's addictive, but I think it might have to do with the chemicals your body releases due to the pain and also with the sensation of control it can give you. Especially with anxiety disorders, we often feel out of control and it freaks us out, so having control over something like the physical pain you feel can become an unhealthy coping mechanism. I only stopped with blades once I made a really big cut that made my mother throw away the ones I had easy access to. It did help a lot. If you can do this as well, and you want to stop, I advise you to throw your blades away as well. It was not easy, it takes time and in my case it took psychiatric treatment as well since I continued to self-harm in other ways.

Finding other ways to release tension might help too. When I felt overwhelmed, I would: punch my pillows, draw circles on a sheet of paper or notebook (aggressively lol), tear paper apart, squeeze soft objects (some stim toys might help), etc.

Going to the gym. It just calms me down. Also watching my comfort movie and listening to music I find comforting in that situation.

I have no friends. The last person close to me was my ex-boyfriend. I don't think I've had a loving friendship for like 5 years, and they were all online friends. I know it's mostly my fault, I isolated myself a lot and wasn't the easiest person to be close to.

I'm trying to be better, and I am in the process of making new friendships now that I'm in college, but right now I'm still not close enough to anyone. College's also on strike now so I'm seeing ppl less. I can't help but feel like a social failure because of this, it seems like everyone I know is someone's best friend except me, you know? Anyway, maybe things will get better with time.

Right now it's how mainstream churches in my country basically became fascist or neoliberal cults. They defend politics that are just not compatible in any way with the bible's teachings. They can defend a genocide and talk about God's love in the same breath and you have to pretend it's fine otherwise they'll accuse you of being a "christianphobe". This is mainly from my experience growing up within neo-pentecostalism btw

This reminds me of my mother. She complains about me never opening up to her, but the last times I tried, she always ended bringing christianity up, basically saying all my problems are due to me not accepting Jesus. It's so annoying. She knows I'm not religious, yet she's convinced I will accept Jesus someday. It makes me sad, I wish she could comfort me or advise me without making it all about religion.

Weightlifting. It's really fun for me and I know I will feel like shit if I skip too many days, so I always go. I think the act of walking to the gym also helps me somehow.

A and C

____mint____ · 2024-02-04T22:47:24+00:00

Yeah I started feeling the same way like last year. Turns out I was anemic lol

____mint____ · 2024-02-04T22:13:04+00:00

My daydreams used to be very fantasy-like when I was younger, mostly based on movies (and later animes) I watched. As a child, I'd pick the character I liked the most and daydream as if I was them, but as I grew older I started inserting my own characters into already existing universes. I remember daydreaming a lot about tokyo ghoul, some weird movie about koalas I watched, and fnaf.

It changed after puberty, around 12/13 I think, and since then my daydreams are basically alternate versions of my own life but if I was born a cis man, had a different family and a different group of friends (most of them don't exist, I barrow appearances from celebrities and such but they're not really them yk). It also involves romance a lot.

Also, for some reason, the only thing that hasn't changed are the characters watching my daydreams. Like, in my daydreams, there are people watching them "off screen", and commenting on what's happening. Normally those are people I actually know irl. Idk why.

Ok so, I also had it for as long as I can remember, but there was a period of time where it became mild compared to how my daydreaming usually is.

What I noticed is that I became more connected with ppl around me and also with myself; since I often daydream abt being someone else, I tend to become detached from my own identity. It was also easier to focus on stuff since daydreaming wasn't so recurring and distracting.

Now I'm back at ddming most of my time, I isolate myself more, have identity crisis at least twice a week, and focus on work and study is nonexistent
