I'm starting this thread because I have a unique MH condition and want to see if there's anyone in the community with it as well.
I have had maladaptive daydreaming for as long as I can remember. I often drift off into space when I'm at home, and will even pace back and forth for hours just imagining. Some articles say that it's a way for people to cope with a depressing reality, much like a kid who escapes into their own imaginary world. This is somewhat the case for me, as I tend to do it after a stressful day, or when my anxiety is at its boiling point. Only the people I live with know about this because I think that even my closest friends will find it bizarre, and might not want to hang out with me anymore. I almost feel like I should be on an episode of My Strange Addiction. The only therapist I've ever told about this told me it's perfectly healthy to have a way to calm down. Anyone else out there have weird coping mechanisms to deal with stress? __________________ "If you don't like something, change it, and if you can't change it, change your attitude." - Maya Angelou |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
