Maladaptive Daydreaming

[PROMETHEUS]

Does this shit happen to anyone else?

I notice it pops up for me on days that I'm depleted on either dopamine or serotonin

So maybe a few days into nofap (brain not getting the surge of dopamine from fapping that it's used to), or day after taking MDMA (Serotonin completely depleted at this point)

For me, it's my brains way of trying to generate some chemical since the daydreaming itself instantly boosts both dopamine & serotonin

The act itself subhuman

Over for mentalcels

I used to do it a ton as youngcel, not so much after I lost all hope and spiritually died as oldcel

But it's not something you do though, it's something that happens to you (Although you're in control of switching it off)

Hadn't maladaptive daydreamed it in a while then caught myself doing it today. Then I remembered that i'm serotonin depleted from doing MDMA yesterday

Yeah I do it a lot, but for me its basically something sets me off and I will be gone for a long time until someone touches me

Do you mean you're unaware that you're doing it (Or at least until you get interrupted)

No I enjoy it, it makes me forget about life for a short moment.

 

[ElTruecel]

i sometimes lay in bed for hours at the time just doing that. I can easily daydream for like 5 h

I get mine when depleted on dopamine & serotonin

Have you noticed any triggers that causes yours?

Nothing really, it just happens naturally.Sometimes I forget that I'm awake but this might be something else.I would forget what I did in the past 2 hrs

This one sounds more psychotic ngl

Do you mean there's even a 1% possibility that someone might catch you talking to yourself and acting crazy?

If so, it's over for you because that shit is gonna worsen with age. You ever seen those old crazy people talking to themselves?

Yeah its increased in the past year.I could sit somewhere and switch off and forget where I was.I basically would find it difficult to remember what I did so would go through my phone search history,all the apps I used etc to see what I did for the past 2 hrs

So there are 2 things here:

• 1. Trigger: Things like loneliness or neurochemical imbalance that trigger the daydreams
• 2. Focus: The thing you tend to daydream about

In terms of focus, mine tends to be about being publicly observed performing well in a social settings (Reality TV show etc). Yes, that's gay AF, but the brain tries to compensate for what you lack. (Social circle and social dexterity for me)

For you, sounds like you need some pussy

Bro, that's literally disassociation and scary AF. (Honestly get it examined)

Why? Do you ever hear stories about people jumping off balconies to their demise

Some of them sleep walk. Others disassociate

what i need more than pussy is love
But you are right.
A trigger for me is also loneliness, and boredom and the focus is 90% of times 2 certain girls. The other 10% would be daydreaming about my youth

I hate seeing doctors or therapists, they will force to take pills which will make me stupid.Honestly, right now I can bare with it, I have not done anything drastic yet and its only happened to me while in my house.Worst thing I have probably done is turn the stove on

Yeah but you could post nudes on IG or something (Instant social suicide)

If you don't like doctors, do you have any habits that are currently fucking up your neurochemicals (porn, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, trash diet etc)

 

[Abhorrence]

trigger loneliness mainly and im always alone bcuz all my life i isolated myself

i tend to daydream about doing things differently in the past and overcoming my shitty situation
or being giga successful

i did it all my life and it fucked with my mental quite a lot and in covid quarantine it got out of hand

 

[Abhorrence]

No not really, I have been having problems for a long time.Been complaining about brain fog for god knows how long I even made posts about it on here, I also felt like I was getting dumber every day its insane.Shit I used to be able to do easily is now hard for me.

Classic response to shitty upbringing

Also, are you an abused dog?

When you say got out of hand.. how bad we talking?

i literally go on weeks without doing anything productive or interacting with anyone outside of family and spending my days daydreaming listening to music pacing around the house

Do 30 days of Dopamine detox, both of you

Starting mine tomorrow since I did way too much MDMA yesterday

@Abhorrence Yours should get fixed based on the symptoms you described

@nigtard Yours sounds hopeless and too far gone due to the additional cognitive decline you've described. If no improvements after 30 days, you have no choice but to see a doctor so that you don't accidentally try to swim off a rooftop balcony

Music helps it but for the most part anything really. Im diagnosed non NT so it’s pretty much something that comes naturally

Used to get it with music when younger. Not anymore

But I remember the music ones being more immersive

Certain guys in my gym that do that shit. I catch them mouthing words/dancing low-key while being in a zombie-like state

 

[Gaygymmaxx]

I do this relentlessly

My father does it too, often just playing out potential conversations we may have in the future

Mine are often narcisstic I must admit.

Planning convos ahead is more NT and less maladaptive

Maladaptive is literally creating a universe from scratch in real-time
