Maladaptive Daydreaming Day/MD day is a day where we share what MD is and help others know that they aren't alone and aren't crazy but are normal. This day is on October 25th
Them: Hey Bob this might be weird but I daydream and it gets out of hand to the point where I'm walking, laughing, or crying by my daydreams and they can last for hours.
Bob: hey that's perfectly normal and you arent weird! Ironically today is National Maladaptive Daydreaming day where we let people know they aren't alone or crazy.
Them: wait so there are more people like me?!
Bob: yes and you shouldn't bring yourself down for it!

When work is so boring you fantasize about sneaking out to get a milkshake.

im a daydreamer
although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.
can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.
an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.
some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".
Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!
Maladaptive daydreaming - A mental health issue, when a person is extremely absorbed in their thoughts
Usually a coping mechanism for children with other mental issues, past trauma, abuse,mental healthy issues etc.
Some symptoms but note that this isn't offcial and is taken of the internet.
• Is not able to stop daydreaming or day dreams excessively
• has extremely complex daydreams
• has actual reactions such as face expressions due to their daydreams (conscious or unconscious)
• Has a strong/addictive desire to daydream
• Spends alot of time daydreaming, possibly multiple hours a day
As said this depends on the person and the severity of it.
Sidenotes: It's not an officially recognized condition despite it being one, but there are still ways to stop it.
Person 1: I feel like people should be more serious about maladaptive daydreaming.
Person 2: Agreed
