I daydream nearly all day long, i really need to stop. I used to love daydreaming, it used to be comforting, but now it's gotten really out of hand. I always have to snap myself out of it constantly. It's really making my depression worse. I think it may be a compulsion, I do have ocd. I've been doing that for 3 years now. I don't know what to think about, I literally don't know anything other than day dreaming and worry. Any tips would be appreciated.

Have you thought of maybe finding a new hobby or doing volunteer work or something like that to keep your mind busy? You may want to think about a change of medication if what you are using is not working any more too.

Well, I used to Daydream a lot like really constantly, and I still do but now it's not that much and it keeps diminishing. I'm fairly recent to seeing a T and all because I was just recently diagnosed and stuff. But she told me to keep myself busy and occupied. It's working since I began to write I haven't really daydreamed as often and whenever I feel myself slipping I begin to pick up a pen and write. It's a fun activity that helps me, but I advise you to chose something, a hobby, which can hold your attention. I hope this helped!

yes I escape into daydream world all the time. Playing out scenerios of me being a savior or being saved. Daydreams of what I would do if money was not an issue or if I had the powers to read minds or if I had the powers of suggestions or if I had the power of anything I wished for out loud would come true. Excessive daydreaming is an escape and a way of isolating and avoiding.
It has tappered off a lot since I started therapy but when severly stressed or depression takes me down I go back to it.

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. |

I need routine and consistency ... daily/hourly routine. It does not matter what it is
wake up, shower, walk, eat, draw, laundry, feed the pets and so on. It helps you realize you are in reality and not in a dream. Helps keep me in better balance and also makes me feel like I accomplished things. Hope this helps.

You daydream because you have energies pushing you to think. You think because you have repressed emotions that want to be recognized. The less emotions are being held down, the less you think and the more you are present.
This could be the starting point. |
