Madd Vent - Tumblr Posts

God i hate having MADD so much. I can't grieve people normally bc my mind just keeps giving me stupid daydreams abt me travelling back in time and saving them or them surviving or some stupid shit like that. I just want to grieve normally without having the wound constantly re-opened by my mind but i can't even fucking have that

ON GODDDDDDD I HATE THIS. ive BEENN saying how its so weird when people make MADD out to be such a cool and quirky thing that everyone does , what they're probably talking is immersive daydreaming and that's nothing compared to maladaptive daydreaming... spending 30 mins daydreaming about ur lil crush with fake scenarios before bed and blah blah blah ... calling that quirky and fun MADD is so crazy bc it just shows how you've done literally no research on what you're talking about and it just makes you look stupid to people who actually suffer from it. the tiktokification about disorders like these need to be studied bro

this kind of pissed me off because some people who are responding to this is making it seem like maladaptive daydreaming is some whimsical nonsense and coming up with fake scenarios in order to sleep at night. while that can be true, MALADAPTIVE means negatively affecting to function daily.

like it is NOT normal.

no hate to OP! just to give my two cents

also i'm kind of scared to tell some friends because ik they'll just be like "isn't that normal" like NO 😭😭 NO ITS NOT 😭😭😭 ITS SLOWLY CONSUMING ME BIT BY BIT AND I CAN'T GO A SINGLE DAY WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I'M WASTING AWAY MY LIFE 😭😭😭😭 SO NO IT'S NOT NORMAL 😭😭😭😭😭

Its so hard to talk about maladaptive daydreaming because it's so embarrassing 😭 like yeah.. I'm addicted to fucking daydreaming and my life genuinly revolves around little fantasies in my head
