I am a dusky girl in her teenage who’s suffering from a maldaptive dreaming. Well many of you might not have heard about this issue before. Maladaptive daydreaming is a psychological concept characterized by extensive and vivid daydreaming that disrupts an individual’s daily functioning or tasks. It often involves complex fantasies that can last for hours and may lead to difficulties in managing real-life responsibilities or relationships. Many individuals with maladaptive daydreaming report feeling compelled to engage in their daydreaming, which can become an addiction-like behavior.

I am not at all a social person and I have pimples ,acne and pigmentation all over my face which aggravated all these years. In my class nobody liked to talk to me coz I was a girl with no looks and an below average student. I started suffering from anxiety and depression and then to escape these tensions and overthinking and started daydreaming for long hours wherein I get all attention and I am successful and everybody loves to talk to me. I got very much addicted to it because it gave me happiness and I just loved it. Whenever I watched a new movie or a new Kdrama I replaced myself with the main female lead in my daydreams. But then, it started disrupting my life a lot more. My skin condition started getting worse and my grades went more down and I became more hesitant to talk to other people. Then, later I started realizing tat somethin was wrong with my head. I could pace for long hours in my room listening to music and daydreaming. I then tried to figure out and found out that I am suffering from a mental disorder called maldaptive daydreaming. From past 3-4 years ,I have been suffering from this disease.  This mental disorder really sucks. I am hesitant to disclose it to anyone and I am really tired of. I just want to focus on my career but I am not able to concentrate or focus. My head is always brimming with new thoughts and I am not able to practice any sought of mindfulness or meditation.
