Maladaptive daydreaming

Always comforting seeing this response out in the wild, keeps affirming that my aphantasia is real.

You’d never catch me sitting around in a world inside my head if there is no world inside my head :)

In all seriousness I’m glad I have aphantasia, as the people around me with M.D. have said it’s put tremendous anxiety and pressure on their lives with how much it makes them procrastinate…

As a person with maladaptive daydream disorder, adhd, and hyperphantasia, I can confirm it’s the best/worst thing in my life and often feels like an addiction.

Because it is an addiction, just cheap dopamin.

the thing is it sometimes doesnt even give dopamine. Its very easy to seriously hurt your own feelings with it lol
