maladaptive daydreaming

has anyone had experience with this and how to deal with it?
i've actually only recently realized that it's such a big part of my life.
i tried looking back to my childhood but i don't remember most of it, i mostly remember the dreams and stories i've made up in my own head. i've been battling it last year, trying to live in reality and i was doing great but i can feel myself slowly slipping back to the old habits and it's really painful. i don't want to live in my own head constantly.,
