I know nothing about maladaptive daydreaming disorder or what defines it. I do know however there have been times in my life where I actually preferred and looked forward to time for daydreaming than I did to reality.

Interestingly though, the extent to which I have daydreamed has been directly proportional to the unhappy and difficult times in my life. I built for myself an escape I guess you would say. Is this your own experience? Under what circumstances to you most daydream? Is there a time of day this tends to happen? At the worse periods of my life I would go off to bed well before my spouse and would will myself to daydream. For in the life I lead in the dream, while also fraught with difficulty, I always came out on top.
