I’ve suffered with OCD and anxiety for years and years, but I also have another problem, and I’d like to know if there are any other people out there who suffer with this. I daydream in an excessive, uncontrollable way. I've done this since I was a very small child. I create daydream "worlds" in my mind. These "worlds" have changed and grown with me as I've gotten older. I've read that this can be called Maladaptive Daydreaming. You might want to look it up in a search engine, in particular the site that is called: "Are You Daydreaming Your Life Away"


People who have it will also sometimes compare it to an addiction, and say that they can't stop. It is definitely like an addiction to me. It really, really interfers with my life. Actually, it has done a lot to stop me from having a real life. Anyone else out there have this problem?
