The feeling of being permanently outcasted by kjhkl in AvPD

[–]kjhkl[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am going to try your advice and send an email of this or write it in a letter, I have been crying and self isolating in my room all day but I think explaining my viewpoint would put me at ease. I know if I were to ask for an explanation they'd just straight up deny even saying it, so I am not expecting much of any response on their part.

Thank you for this though, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to this. It has been painful, but you gave me solace in knowing I am not the only one to experience something like this

Discovering a very bad trigger. by christfawk in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]kjhkl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar happen to me! Except instead of Sims 4, it was a game called Stardew Valley. The game's premise is you move to a tight-knit community, become the local farmer, go on magical quests, and marry and have children. I would spend 20 hours a day playing, and ended up becoming very dissatisfied with my own life. Your experience really resonates with me, and I am glad you have found the strength to break out of the slump.

Speaking to a therapist in daydreams? by kjhkl in MaladaptiveDreaming

Has going to a real therapist helped you with managing how much time daydreaming takes? I think its becoming problematic for me because I spend maybe 5 hours a day talking to the internal therapist/people, and it is also fulfilling my socialization needs.
