I realize by Madd you meant maladaptive daydreaming(at 1st I was thinking what does mothers against drunk driving have to do with this).

What are you daydreaming about mostly that you're having a hard time stopping?

Is it ruminating or daydreaming?

What exactly is it like for you?What happens when you are doing it?What exactly is it like for you when you dissociate?What's the difference in the two for you?

When I am daydreaming I choose what I want to think about.Many times it's how I wish my life would be,how I wish the people in my life would be.It's all elaborate fantasy.It becomes maladaptive for me when I prefer the fantasy over real life and become angry,irritable and miserable.Then I have to focus on the here and now and stop daydreaming.Maybe that's just fantasizing though,IDK.

When I dissociate,I just feel zoned out,numb and like a robot going through the motions. I won't lie,sometimes I like it.If I like it,I just go with it,if I don't then I do things that are grounding to help stop it. I know certain triggers and stressful situations make me dissociate. I know it's my minds way of saying hey this is too much to handle right now,time to go on autopilot.
