Hello everyone! I daydream a lot and have a paracosm I've been nursing since childhood but I don't have maladaptive daydreaming. I can control when and for how long I daydream and it doesn't interfere with my life or daily function. I only daydream in private and even use my paras to make chores and homework more entertaining. I've done it more and more the last few years to help cope with the loneliness, anxiety, and depression of chronic illness. I don't feel right adding MaDD to my profile because that's not really what I have but there isn't another option to express what I'm feeling. I'd like to find some community, do you guys think it's okay if I add MaDD anyways??

I got this digital book of sorts about MD and it said the best way to stop is to write it all down. I've tried so many times, but I always end up feeling STRONG negative emotions and delete everything. the book said that would happen and it's part of the reason it works. has anyone had success writing it all down??
