I live in my head more than anything else. At this point my daydreams feel more real than my reality, and i have a hard time reminding myself they arent. Maybe since reality is perception they are. Or im just convincing myself

Maladaptive daydreaming yes. I do it all the time.. sometimes for hours. The worst is when someone walked in on me at work talking to myself acting out my daydream I have no idea how long they were there for. It's extremely embarassing when I get caught.. like how do you explain that

Too high risk of laughing and crying in public since my only daydreams are painful imaginary gf stuff and recalling/generating memes.

I daydream all the time, and this means I find it hard to concentrate, but it just makes me feel worse. I end up thinking about the past a lot and it is depressing. Lots of painful memories. I end up daydreaming about terrible things that could happen to me, life is scary and there is unlimited potential for suffering. I do however sometimes daydream about death and those thoughts can be quite comforting. The one thing I want is to be free from this life.

Same man. I daydream about things i wish would happen but also violent things that i also, in a way, think should happen to me. Also painful memories and "continuations" of them, like what i imagine couldve happened. It gets in the way of everything, ive spent hours daydreaming when I could be doing something productive

I do because it helps me escape this cruel reality, but i came to the conclusion it's not really doing me good. I mean things are how they are and they're not ever gonna change so i need to stop running from reality. I also feel that daydreaming by helping me cope with my suffering only distracts me from my goal which is to ctb.

I daydream just to escape reality. I dream I'm in my paradise, deep in the woods with a rope hanging from a tree, swaying in the breeze, just waiting for me to finally do what I've been waiting for.

Just about every minute I am awake. I think the (very) false hope it gives me is preventing me from drinking my SN. Need to stop doing it then....

Yup, every single day. I can't really control when it comes. It's hurts though when I come back to this reality. Been doing it for years. I really wish I were in my daydreams instead of this awful place.

I too mostly live inside my head and I daydream constantly, everyday. It's the only way I can get through these miserable days and escape my reality. Like others have said already though, while I'm actually daydreaming I find some small bit of respite when I stop the reality of my life crashes into me with great force and then I am hit with such sadness and anger and feelings of loss for what I'd hoped/tried for when I was younger and feelings of loss for what I felt and what I imagine myself and my life in my daydreams. It's stupid to feel loss for something that was only fantasy, but I do. But there's no way I could stop my daydreaming. I'd have nothing left if I don't have my imagination and my dreams, even though I know they are dreams that will never be realized...
