Life sucks

[Deleted member 195]

[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]So I just figured out the primary source of my happiness is a "disorder" that I've been living with for years. Daydreaming was always my escape. It was a coping mechanism to escape inceldom. To lead a life I never could[/font]

[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I would listen to music to go with my thoughts while pacing back and fourth and it was truly bliss. Until I figured out the name for what I was doing and how relatable everyone else's version of this dream like state.[/font]





[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]https://www.reddit.com/r/MaladaptiveDrea...=t3_6ms85x[/font]

[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Now I won't daydream. I won't watch or look at anything fictional. I can barely listen to music now. Honestly, I've never been so eager for the curtains to close. Life is so boring now. Ignorance is bliss[/font]

I've had the same thing since elementary school. It got to the point where I had to drop out of high school because I couldn't concentrate in class. It's the only true cope.

Maladaptive is simply daydreaming that's causing distress or interfering with getting shit done.

• Daydreams with intense sense of immersion including visual, auditory or affective properties.
  
• Daydreaming triggered, maintained or enhanced by music
  
• Daydreaming triggered, maintained or enhanced by repetitive movement.
  
• Daydreams accompanied by vocal noises or facial expressions.
  
• Often daydreams when distressed or bored.
  
• Daydream immersion and length intensify when alone.

I don't get it, why would you stop? Is it doing harm to you or anyone else? Nowadays anything is a disorder. I've been doing this since forever. It's the best cope there is.

I defo do this,I'm quiet when doing it and don't make facial expressions thankfully(at least not that I'm aware of)thanks for letting me know I have a problem.Why do you say you're not gonna watch or look at anything fictional though?Does that trigger daydreaming for you or something?

 

[IronMike]

Can't even be happy in my dreams.

During commutes I'll play makafushigi adventure in my car and pretend im riding around on a flying nimbus and shit, but apparently I can't even do that.

Music and fiction are triggers. Also, no problem man. I kinda wish I didn't know about this

You don't have the urge to stop after realizing how many people do it and hate it?

I also tried to stop after founding about that it was a """""disorder""""", but I realized it has no point. It's not like I'm neglecting my life because I'm wasting hours on it. It makes me feel good and it's not hurting anyone. As for it being a disorder, I think it's only natural for a person who is unhappy with something about their life to dream about it being different. It's just that, a cope.

Damn.

I wish I never had even looked into this tbh

If you ever had enough, go out with a boom like saint Elliot.

This. I daydream a lot and its fine. Only normies hate it because they try so so hard to fit in.

Accept who you are and dream on

Yes my brother, do it. I've cut out all the stupid fiction bullshit from my life, with very few exception. 99% of media is pure garbage.

Hopefully, they could find ways that could lengthen daydreaming, or pro-long dreams to help us escape from this stray away from this world, or dreaded reality for a little longer.

There's also something called "Lucid Dreaming," but it isn't as powerful as the other sources though, I always somehow think of (or conjure up) nightmares because my mind is messed up there.

 

[QuantumDummy]

I've been experiencing the same thing for over a year now, not being able to enjoy any of the things I once did like weed and well.. anything really.

Honestly I'm the definition of nothing, I don't actually exist on the same plane as anyone else. My mind is constantly going through different states and ways of processing things around me.

I'm always thinking of someone I see as tougher or manlier and imagining I have their mindset just to get through the day. I'm not well.

I'm right there with you.

I also looked into lucid dreaming. I tried it but can't get the hang of it. REM sleep is too powerful to be disturbed.

Damn bro. You have to snap out of that mentality quick. Don't give up your dreams but try to give up your self hate
