Hello!

I'm Elin and I'm addicted to daydreaming, also known as "Maladaptive Daydreaming"

Daydreaming is basically my life. But it goes further then just daydreaming. I create whole fantasy worlds in my head. In my head, I'm am a very succesfull actress who won a lot of Oscars and other prizes. I have a great celeb girlfriend, have amazing friends, i'm very pretty and so on. I do this every day. I talk to myself, act like i'm a guest in talk shows. Like I'm followed by papparazi when I walk on the streets. It's all fake and sometimes it hits me that I'm just a silly not important girl without friends and that this actress in my head is all a stupid imagination.

I do this for about 2 years. I try to stop but it does not work.. I am very aware of what I'm doing. It's not that I get lost in a fantasy when I'm doing it. I know what I do.

Maybe more people deal with this or have advice, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this..

Thanks for reading

Elin
