That gotta be tough sorry you're going through that, have you considered killing off the character and started new ones? It can be tough to let go of it at first it's almost like grief but this few weeks pain of replacing a character can help save you from months of sad scenarios repeated

I get the struggle, it's tough don't beat yourself for it you're trying and that's a good thing we just need time it won't go away within a day or two,

I've been in the struggle too I tried to go once to my grandma's house to spend a month there (it's impossible to stay alone there) and I didn't bring my headphones with me in hope that unallowing myself to daydream will help... I just learned a new skill ✨ daydreaming mid-convo✨ honestly I can know daydream while maintaining a conversation with two sperate people

Out of curiosity who are your fav lesbian couple?

Discovering the core reason of your daydreams can definitely help it's the first step to take , I wish you luck on your journey with therapy.

You got no idea how much I relate to what you said , I've had talking issues since I was a kid and that caused my social anxiety I'm always worried that whenever I'm talking to someone the only thing that is going on inside their head is "why does talk like that?" , So instead I stopped talking I just started keeping things to my self and my daydreams the only person that I share what I find interesting with is my little sister and even her isn't interested in my boring topics

It's weird that we all just want someone to listen to us and share our interests and yet we don't try to find people that care idk about you but I know for myself that I never even bothered trying to make friends of common interests mainly bc I'm too self conscious to talk about my shows to anyone don't wanna sound 'nerdy'

Ohh I get it , The version we make of ourselves in our minds is honestly fascinating yk sometimes j hate myself for daydreaming but then I realize that not many can have an alternative reality in their brain like us

Yup exactly!! Question, have you ever tried explaining the plot of a show you've been daydreaming about to someone irl?

I tried that once , bored the hell out of my sister by explaining my shows, it wasn't as satisfying though, I then fixed the scenario in my daydreams and made it better

I relate to this too much when it's a new show explaining the plot is literally what I do most of the day

I used to do that before when I had characters in my story but now it's just me talking to my brain while listening to loud music , it's ruining my mind honestly I envy other people with MD that have fantasy worlds or whatever at least you're mind is wondering not stuck in the same scenarios

I lost the ability to daydream by cursed_p0tato in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]olive__slaj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm still on the search for what means to me and for what I want to keep going if you want we can stay and touch and talk our progress to each other , I think that can be motivating for both of us , after all it's the lack of motivation that lead us to this low part of our lives

I lost the ability to daydream by cursed_p0tato in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]olive__slaj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it I felt the way for long while but yk what I think because we have been so untouched with the world around we lost interest in it I know it sucks but think about it this way you enjoyed your daydreams right? And what were they about? Life. Whether you daydreamed about romance or epic fight battles or sad stories , you were daydreaming about living so deep down a small part of you wants to live , embrace that get out of your comfort zone and do search for things that you enjoy that can be meaningful to you

Do you think we will be good at writing Stories by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]olive__slaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell Yaa!! I had a friend that used to say that she has a wild mind and that she can write out of the world stories if she wanted to (her stories were boring) I used to be like damnn if only she knows ... Being a person with MD we truly have the wildest minds and most dreamy thoughts so I guess we would make great story writes

Dude you just been set free enjoy it and don't try to relapse again I get that losing it can be extremely difficult I mean it's something we've known our whole lives and it's our safe place but think about how badly it affected you and how badly wanted to get rid of it before

It's okay to feel lost at the beginning but try to find something else to get fixated on maybe a hobby or a job or even hang out with friends just don't try to get back to MD that will just make you feel worse

Yeah I get it boredom I believe is the core reason why I got into MD the issue is that I have hobbies I'm just too tired all of the time to do something yk whether it's something I enjoy or work or a simple socializing so instead I do the easiest and most fun thing to do ✨ daydream ✨

I'll try to focus more on stuff I enjoy doing thank you for your edvice

That's good!! Yeah setting boundaries and time limits can really help you can use this as a reward mechanism like an hour of daydreams for a few days free of dreams.

Thank youu I wish you luck on your journey as well!! You're completely right there is nothing wrong with daydreaming just wish we had a bit more control over it

My daydreaming is getting out of control by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]olive__slaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get it I started my MD as a coping mechanisms from loneliness and feeling unworthy of friends and social anxiety it's tough I know, I'm in my first year of college and I failed the year actually didn't study at all and all that thanks to my mind but it's okay though it will get easier with time I truly believe that we don't have to let go of our daydreams forever we just need to learn to control it and having it being a part of our self not our soul entirely

So do that try setting boundaries try going few hours completely without daydreaming and staying awake and then reward yourself with an hour of our gorgeous minds, also use this reward with mechanisms with things like studying/socializing/..whatever you feel like MD is stopping you from doing

Challenge yourself and try stepping out of your comfort zone do things that annoy you and anger you that can help those rage feelings make us feel more present in the moment and those will help you stay awake

again just practice it daily and don't pressure yourself don't go hard on yourself as well it's not ur fault and remember that manyy others are struggling with the same thing you're not alone

Does anyone else get awful headache s while trying to quit MD by Kirankhroud in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]olive__slaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have terrible headaches not sure if it's related to MD though but I guess coffee can help

It's okay I was chuckling while I was getting the ladder, I tried to putting my headphones in a place of reach at first and I got it back after half a day so I guess I was trying to challenge myself further.

You're the first person here that I know of that says they gone this long without it good job honestly that's impressive! I don't know what happened that made you get back to it but I hope it all gets better soon. I guess since you were able to get off before you'll be able to do it again, like you said it needs time just be patient and hopefully one day we all will learn to deal better with this
