Past 17 yrs or so, I've been really addicted to maladaptive daydreaming (m.d). I'm 30 now and I am nowhere close to kicking this habit.

I've been unemployed for past 7 yrs now, but I am more concerned with lives of my characters. My exams for masters is coming up in a month, but I am more concerned with emotions my characters feel.

It's almost as if my life has stopped being important for me and I am more concerned with the life, sexual tension, feelings, emotions, romance of my characters. I feel more for my characters than for me or my family...

They are kinda helpful as I feel emotions I feel through them....which I generally may not feel.

But I am falling into a rut. I don't have a career. My masters would give me a qualification, but I don't care abt my exams. Everyday, I am getting closer to a heart attack due sedentary lifestyle. I have no love life and I am as far away from marriage as pluto is from sun. My life has become a groundhog day.

Worse, my family just doesn't understand it. Worse, I've even stopped feeling guilty about it all. I am getting worse and more irresponsible with every passing year.

Is anyone else is coping with MD here? Just want to see if working on it together may help....

I really appreciate your thoughts on it....Thanks for reading.
