#maladaptive daydreaming only

As person with AuDHD who loves to daydream I think we need to return to the times of Disco.

Bring back 'twelve inch' versions of songs - like what happened to releasing extended versions that were 5-7 minutes long?????

I'm TIRED of every new song being like 2:45. Songs are getting shorter and I NOTICE. Songs use to be like 3:30 a decade ago but now you'll see albums where no song hits 4 minutes.

LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem is 4:23 long. 4 and a half minutes of party rockin.

Unholy by Sam Smith is 2:32. SOMETHING AINT RIGHT HERE.

HONESTLY I need longer songs for my vivid and detailed escapism daydreams and I'm tired of having to change the song every two minutes

cant you just release a 12 minute version of Toxic by Britney Spears so I can daydream my scene in peace

Goddamn get back here and sing the chorus one more time why the hell are songs 2 minutes?????

It's so annoying how frustratingly difficult it is to translate daydreams into actual words in a text document! Because it's oftentimes not that the daydreams are just things i'm imagining, vague ideas of what happens or is said, no no no. I'm straight up thinking, very specifically, word for word what happens. I'm straight up sounding out sentences like i was reading a fanfic but in my head. but the moment i actually try to translate these words into, well, Actual Words, they just disappear!!! Whyy

man the realization that I can do literally whatever the fuck I want within my daydreams/paracosm because I'm the only audience who will ever see it has been one of the most freeing thoughts I've had in a long time. ain't nobody can judge a story they don't even know about

[amateur-madder]

That feeling when you're finally in the daydream headspace and the vibes are super perfect only for someone to interrupt and completely ruin it<<<

[maddgical-boy]

what do people who aren't madders/iders do. like what occupies their brain. when they listen to music are they just staring into space with empty heads? when they pace around the room do they not ruminate over fantasy worlds in their head? are you telling me that when they're bored they get up and do something physically instead of cycling through daydreams to give them enjoyment???

My beautiful sexy Bojack case I went though the center of hell today to make. Absolutely worth it for him only.

I didn't know my brain could be so creative before I started making one AU a day for this new paracosm but I still feel kinda sad that these AUs can't seem to last more than a day or two bc even tho I got plot/characters ideas I'm struggling with the storyline on the long run

Like yeah "pink fairy marries an ogre who turns out to be nicer than anyone else" is easy to think of, I can design these characters in a heartbeat but as soon as the fairy marries her ogre and realizes they're nice the story is over bc wtf do they do after that

[crown-ov-horns]

My issue is, I'm seemingly incapable of writing oneshots. I'm so eager to explore various ships, but only come up with epics. Why can't I ever write a short story, or two?.. Some angst. Some smut. Some fluff, with a relationship already estabilished. Hell, I'd probably feel much more productive.

A fairly common experience among immersive and maladaptive daydreamers (and presumably among neuronarrators, though we can't claim much knowledge on Neuronarration as a distinct phenomenon. Assuming there are differences between them.) is the deep-pitted longing for your created world(s). For your life(ves) there. For them to be real and tangible and material.

Sometimes this life in reality seems so ill-suited to us.

I miss home. I miss feeling like I truly belong in the world as myself. I miss the feel of it all. I miss the sensation of being in tune with a world.

Though there certainly are hardships and perils in the paracosm, they seem to be more worth the efforts of enduring and conquering. If only because I'd be struggling against them while in a world where, and with the beings with which, my soul actually belongs.

I know all the counterpoints, arguments, and concerns against this wish, yet I cannot keep my heart from yearning for it. Please spare me any lectures you may have.

I so desperately want to be this big multi-fandom person but I've been hyperfixated on the same thing for two years (PJO) and before that was a five year long hyperfixation for a series I don't post or read about anymore cause it makes me feel icky. Also getting into new fandoms makes me nervous cause I don't know how the people in the fandom are gonna be and I won't know anything about it going in, and it's always a fandom that's been around for years and I feel weird about joining it so late. It can also just be incredibly overwhelming, I so desperately want to be a marvel fan but the sheer amount of media there is to consume just makes me panic.

Y'all ever shower like you're some kind of stray but a person stray being rescued off the streets and in need of a good bath and clothes and warm soup and bed?

[infiniteorangethethird]

daydreaming is so funny bc sometimes it's like

me: *has a very emotionally satisfying daydream*

me: ah what a fun and really nice daydream

me:

me:

me: actually no that was an incredibly fucked up and not nice at all daydream. I should probably do some introspection about this because where the fuck did that even come from

[f-imaginings]

I am a bit tired and sad. Family stuff just gets raw (not RAWR XD lmao) when you go to therapy to recognise the patterns and learn to feel emotions better. Can't fall back on tried and true repression and ignoring behaviour patterns and my feelings now I acknowledge how dysfunctional it really is, and now I just feel sad when these things happen instead of busy or inspired to write escapism or blindly optimistic to the point of denial. I feel so flat and discouraged and irrelevant when this is usually the time of year where my friends make me feel cherished and recognised and I'm struggling to muster the positivity I usually have in the face of bullshit.

[delusional-mushroom]

Am I the only one who doesn’t like getting into new fandoms because I don’t want to leave my daydreams of current fandoms behind?

Some people are living the lesser version of their dreams but they're still living their dreams, some people are as good as dead. I'm the last one.
