I call it maladaptive daydreaming......when I am in a low spot my mind starts to go into fantasy world as an escape I guess. I have to do tasks in small time increments like I set a timer for 15 minutes to study and then allow myself to gaze off into la la land for a bit. yes it takes me longer memorize new material for a test. I am smart it is just the holding onto information. It just does not stick when I am in a heavy state.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
