Maladaptive Daydreaming Community Group
A group for those who believe they are dealing with the emerging clinical phenomena of Maladaptive Daydreaming; extensive fantasy activity which replaces human interaction and interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational functioning.
So, today is the first time, I have heard of the term maladaptive daydreaming. After researching, I have come to find out I have been doing this all my life.
I am a 32-year-old mom of 3, and I have a history of childhood trauma and also adulthood trauma. MD honestly kinda helped me out in certain situations. When my life got too bad, I always had my fantasy world I could escape to. Now, it gets to the point, where I do it involuntarily. I even act out my daydreams. A lot of people think I am crazy, but oh well. Glad I finally have a word for it.
