Rest assured, there is a cure for Maladaptive Daydreaming.
Maladaptive Daydreaming, or MD for short, makes your life a hell. It is a disorder where the patient undergoes severe daydreaming until to the point that it interferes with his/her life.
MD makes you dream your life away locked up in a room with very little rewards. If you are a MD sufferer, like I was, I’m sure you can relate.
But the good news is I know how to cure Maladaptive Daydreaming forever. I’ve done it myself.
I suffered from MD since I was about five years old. I don’t know how I got it, I just remember being alone, avoiding people so that I could dream my life away.
As I grew up, I slowly realized that something had to be very wrong with me. I told my mother about it (very reluctantly) but she didn’t think it was something serious. When I was about 19 years old, I went to a psychiatrist who thought I had depression and gave me pills for it.
But I DIDN’T have depression. I wasn’t suffering from trauma or anything like that. I was generally happy and only thing that made me quite upset was this habit. Note that MD is very fun, but as soon as you finish your daily session of fantasizing, all that fun turns into frustration. (I'll explain why that is possible biologically later on this post.)
Living with MD is really challenging if you have serious goals because it is a very time-consuming habit. We all have something we want in our lives, and MD gets in the way.
But I can assure you that there is a way out. And I’m 99% sure it will work for you. I suffered from severe MD for over 15 years and I have even considered suicide because of it. But now I’m completely cured. You can do it too.
I didn’t use any drugs to do it, and neither am I a certified psychiatrist or anything. My only qualification is what I have learned about Maladaptive Daydreaming ever since I was five years old.
So how does MD occur?
It’s simple. It happens exactly the same way any addiction occurs. If we enjoy something, the brain releases a hormone (called dopamine) that instructs the body to keep engaging in that activity. This is how we get addicted to a song (so that we listen to it again and again), a video, overeating, and yes, even daydreaming.
Don’t get it confused. Maladaptive Daydreaming and daydreaming are two very different things. Everybody daydreams. But not everyone daydreams for hours and hours in isolation, walking back and forth, using weird physical movements. That’s not daydreaming. That’s Maladaptive Daydreaming.
To avoid confusion, I would like to call this behavior related with MD as “fantasizing.”
So when you fantasize about something, pacing back and forth in isolation, changing facial expressions, and using weird physical movements, the brain realizes that you enjoy what you fantasize. It releases a hormone called dopamine, (the same hormone that makes you addicted to meth and opium), and it makes you want to fantasize even more. Fantasizing more is the only way to get more dopamine into your system, which is a result of your reward center being activated. This is what fuels MD addiction.
And after you finish fantasizing, you feel headaches and frustration because the body has depleted a lot of dopamine in your system. Dopamine is what activates the reward center. When you use it in large doses, you get addicted and later become frustrated.
You need to break this pattern. The solution is actually very simple. The amount of dopamine released, I think, can't be as much as the amount of dopamine drugs like Meth and Heroine release. So you have a chance.
The strategy that worked for me is all about teaching your brain to stop this habit instantly. Once you learn to do it, it’s much more fun than fantasizing. That’s why this method works.
It won’t require special medication, pills, or anything like that. And you’ll see results instantly. But you will have to keep doing it until MD is history. But I guarantee instant improvement. When I say instant improvement I mean instant improvement. Your brain causes this habit, and only your brain can stop it. It’s incredibly simple.
Doctors don’t know how to treat MD. Take it from someone who has struggled with it for most of his life and finally overcome it. If you ever go to a psychiatrist, chances are he will prescribe you depression pills. If you go to a therapist, he will listen and talk with you and offer you useless advice (make that very expensive useless advice). Therapists don’t know what you are going through, they never suffered from MD! But I have gone through what you’re going through right now, and I have the solution. Although it took me fifteen years and a lot of effort to come up with a solution, the solution itself is incredibly simple and easy to apply.
You will finally become normal and start focusing on your life rather than on your fantasy that will never come true. I have written an ebook on how you can cure yourself and published it on amazon.
I'm updating the content of the book at the moment. As soon as I'm done, I will post the link here. Sorry for the inconvenience.
