Maladaptive Daydreaming (i really just ranting my life out on here)

Basically, I just daydreamed for like 20 minutes LIKE JUST NOW so I had the idea to write about what MD is. Maladaptive Daydreaming is literally daydreaming for unhealthy amounts of time or falling into daydreams at inappropriate times. The daydreams are usually very detailed and they are usually used as a coping mechanism for if you feel like your life is uneventful or you just want to escape reality for a while. Some victims think that their daydreams are real and they exist in a different reality (which to be honest I did for a really long time). I've been struggling with MD since the beginning 2020 (Basically since covid started) and I never told anyone because I thought it was normal. WHICH IT WASN'T BECAUSE MY DAYDREAMS HAD INTENSE THEMES LIKE MURDER, SEX, AND A LOT OF THINGS RELATED TO MY TRAUMA THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN KNOWN ABOUT. This disorder can cause depression and overthinking WHICH CAN ALSO LEAD TO ANXIETY, WHICH I HAVE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. During this time I had also gotten into reality shifting and spiritual things because I really thought I would be able to actually be present in my daydreams instead of watching characters that I like interact with my stupid Mary Sue oc I'm attached to. I still daydream a lot and I'm okay with it for now. It makes me feel better during current situations and it keeps me entertained like all the time (especially in the shower. It be like a whole movie in there)
