I didn't hear about this til much later in life, and I still haven't heard it talked about in a formal setting, such as by a mental health professional, but since having it myself I have heard many people say they relate. The the is there's a difference between this and daydreaming casually. Most people daydream when they'd got time to spare on occasion, but MDD is as stated obviously maladaptive. Meaning it hinders rather than helps. Though I have to say yeah, it probably is some kind of coping mechanism, or was meant to be in some way. A coping mechanism shouldn't really impair your day to functioning...Again that's kind of the meaning of maladaptive. I really don't think I can say much more about this without insulting someone, because it's only actually MDD if it gets in the way of everyday life, so I shall end there.

Because in truth, I am that monster.
