That's interesting how you talk about it. I've done similar. I've even physically made movements in my daydream "stories" and verbalized dialogue.


At my worst of maladaptive daydreaming, I would stay up most of the night, almost unable to stop...like not being able to put down a book. For me, it can also be tiring, in a way. Thoughts going on so intensely, non-stop. It's like, but not quite like, racing thoughts, for me. The main difference is that a story line can proceed in a linear fashion, while my true manic racing thoughts are like fireworks or thoughts moving like multiple balls bouncing around.
