Even though MDD has all those benefits I’d mentioned in the “THE BRIGHT SIDE” page, below are the reasons why you should stop doing this:
1. It sucks up all your time: You could just go on maladaptive daydreaming for the whole day without doing doing anything else. At the end of the day when you turn back, you discover that you had nothing the whole day. And all those office/ college/school works are still there pending, you are unable to meet your deadlines, lowering your efficiency and your whole work-life balance is completely out of place. Big time mess.
2. It sucks up all your energy: Of course it is a great exercise if you are pacing about or jumping around for hours. But when dreaming tend to get longer, you will feel tired and yet it is so addictive that you can’t stop it even if you want to. It consumes all your energy, again you are too tired to do anything else after a long session of daydreaming.
3. People might think you are a psycho: Shutting the doors and pacing about, talking to yourself, and getting lost in your fantasies without knowing what is happening around aren’t the things that a usual sane person would do. Would you like it if your bf/gf/bff/parents or neighbors start thinking you are a weirdo? Well if it’s ok for you, then carry on…or else it’s time you start thinking about changing yourself.
4. Escape is not the solution, you need to face the reality: You are living in the real world, you need to start accepting your real situations, daydreams can only give you temporary escape from your realities. Ultimately you need to face the reality. The faster you realize this, the better! Stop dreaming, start doing.
Daydreaming chronicles 
Ok, good. How to stop it. Is there any scientific method or any technique used to stop/control it.
Ehh, I’ll be honest… I disagree with a good chunk of this. I’m not an expert on the topic- although it’s not a validated psychological topic yet anyway- but I’m rather sure I “suffer” from this.
1) I do not always pace or move at all. Sometimes I sit or lay in bed and listen to music while mumbling what the “characters” are saying. Occasionally, I’ll pace. Thank god I live alone lol. I’d suggest saying something like “Most people…” or “Sometimes…” rather than draw a black and white symptom of something that is frankly pretty unknown still. Although LOTS of medical websites make all sorts of disorder symptoms seem black and white…. anorexia for example. “If you’re in an average weight range, you’ve never been and can’t be anorexic”. I’d start avoiding cut and dry categorizing right off the bat since we get this opportunity to personally develop our own disorder.
2) I’m not sure if “this is why you should stop” is a good way to address this new topic. It might be a terminology issue, but some people have their extensive daydreaming under a good amount of control. I spend 4-5 hours every couple days doing it and it doesn’t seem to be hurting me. In fact, I think it helps. My “alter me” goes through some pretty rough emotional/ physical stuff and I believe it is helping me slowly process what I’ve been through my whole life. If nothing else, it makes me feel like there is someone else who gets it- even though they’re fictional. Maybe distinguish that day long daydreaming that ISN’T hurting your life yet isn’t technically “mal-adaptive” so the following doesn’t apply to you… rest of entry. You know?
I don’t mean to be attacking (if it comes off that way) but I’ve been feeling a bit offended by some posts because I don’t want to lose my daydream life. And I don’t think it makes me crazy or addicted. Pretty sure it saves me from those things. Pretty sure I’d break if I had to feel the loneliness and anguish that I make my character feel instead. Sometimes I make her get drunk and then I ACTUALLY may avoid the bottle (my true addiction). Also, like I said, I’m excited to have the opportunity to help people discover and understand a new disorder or way of thinking for the first time and maybe, hopefully, we’ll get it right and prevent stigma from ever occurring.
