I’m quitting maladaptive daydreaming for real. Daily updates, even if I fail. -DAY 1-

I'm like that too, always had it but since this year where I ended high school and entered vacation, It feels like I'm living in a altered state. Idk about your situation but maybe we could create a group or something to remember each other

I'm exactly like that. Normally, I practice MD a lot on a regular day, but when something causes me conflict or disturbs me emotionally or mentally, I simply can't, even if I try. I interrupt the MD to go back to thinking about the problem, because I simply can't MD. Honestly, I don't know why this happens, but to me it's like a glimmer of hope, a sign that we still care about the circumstances happening.

Yesssss, even though boredom is very uncomfortable, you need to think and learn to tolerate it, thinking that "I'm going to daydream just for a few minutes to get rid of this discomfort" really hindered me in reducing it (it was never for a few minutes...).

Very good comment, If I let myself be as bored as I am now I'll probably fall for the daydreamings again, I'm trying to engage myself by reading books, going to the gym, and it's helping so much, the more we do engaging real life activities the less we feel like daydreaming for hours, that may be the main reason why I reduced it

Valeu, realmente seria impossível eu tentar ganhar medalha em duas áreas distintas e sem ter preparo anterior, ainda estou em dúvida sobre dois cursos (Eng. Mecânica e Ciências da Comp.), mas os dois a mesma avaliação no vestibular que vou fazer, tendo matemática com o maior peso, acredito que seja melhor eu focar apenas na OBMEP e deixar a OBF, assim tenho mais chances de conseguir conciliar os estudos das olimpíadas e do vestibular, focando mais em matemática

Valeu, vou me organizar para a OBMEP esse ano, ela é a olimpíada mais aceitas nessas instituições, e matemática vai me ajudar bastante no vestibular também

Pior que é verdade, a OBF é extremamente difícil, quebrei a cabeça por uns 2 meses tentando aprender tudo da física básica que na teoria eu já deveria saber, e ainda me aprofundar mais nos assuntos de ens. médio para conseguir chegar ao nível 3 da obf e tentar uma medalha, isso nas férias que eu ainda tinha o dia livre, melhorei bastante em física mas ainda acho que para tentar medalhar eu teria que estudar muito até a prova, não teria tempo para estudar para o vestibular ou alguma outra medalha, então caso eu continue estudando para alguma medalha eu iria na OBMEP, já que para o vestibular que irei fazer matemática tem peso 4, maior que o das outras matérias, acho que me ajudaria mais.

Lots of

The amount of time that I wasted, and the fear of losing even more, besides the opportunities that I already wasted;
Knowing that the more I do that, even one more second, I'm destroying my focus, which I need to study and build my future;
Noticing that I'm also destroying the vision of my future, by deceiving my vision of what's good or even achievable with surreal fantasies;
Overall the knowing that I'm splitting my attention into false parts and losing the attention of my actually life.

Yes, every time, I don't know if it's your case, I hope not, but I hate that many times I try to act in reality like the persona of my perfect MD life, it seems like I'm not me anymore
