I Suffer From Maladaptive Daydreaming [Daydreaming]
This has been an issue ever since I was about 7. One night, I couldn't sleep and I was bored, so I made up a story about a girl on a pirate ship with her little minions, that took the shape of coloured gummy bears. The stories I made up in my head every night were always changing. One day it'll be about Pokemon, the next, it'll be about shopping at Forever 21 with my imaginary friends.
Eventually, these little daydreams went into the daytime. I'd zone out during class, on the way to and from school, etc. When I became 13, I realized that it's become an issue. And now I'm nearly 14, and it's been an issue, and it hasn't gotten better.
I've pretty much daydream whenever I'm not doing anything else, and when I'm bored, I'll go into a room and pace and daydream. On the bright side, it's a good calorie burner.
I've become so attached to these daydreams, that it's painful when I acknowledge the fact that they'll never come true. Plus, I'll be walking around smiling to myself because of the story going on in my head, and I'll look insane. D: I hate that. And also, I live in my head so much that reality easily gets overwhelming. AND, I live in my head so much that if you give me a sheet of paper with my name on it, I'll stare at it going, "that's me... that's my name" because seriously, it's as if I don't recognize that name anymore. It doesn't feel like my name. In fact, I feel like a nobody. But that might just be a separate issue.
Even right now, my head is kinda in the clouds. xD
