Question by SLB: Is maladaptive daydreaming a personality disorder?
Since I was about 11 years old, I’ve always set some time (usually between an hour and two) aside every night to listen to music, usually before bed. I plug in my ipod, and just zone. I’d daydream – mostly invent stories in my head, or imagine myself as being popular, or older, or whatever. This is usually accompanied by pacing back and forth in my room. Any time my brain’s not fully occupied, and even sometimes when it is, I find myself slipping into a daydream. I can’t help it- it’s almost like a compulsion.
I force myself to wait to do it until everyones asleep, in fear that someone will notice and find it, or me, strange. I think about it from the moment i wake up up until the time i actually do it. What to think about that night while pacing, how much longer until i can do it again? Thoughts of pacing + daydreaming come impulsively throughout the day and every time they pop into my head i feel anxious knowing that I have to wait until midnight to do it. I realize daydreaming and pacing are not normal behaviors, especially for 15 year old girls. It keeps me from spending the night with friends or going over to family’s houses. Sometimes it will keep me from being social altogether.
Every night I’ll come up with a story line and go with it. I usually get emotionally attached to them, to the point where the outcome of my daydream can affect the rest of my day.
However, I like doing it and I find myself more relaxed afterwards. It’s a huge stress reliever (for the most part), as going a day without it will make me an anxious wreck. I am very obsessive about it. It is an addiction and compulsion to say the least.
So I guess what I’m asking is if this would be considered a personality disorder.    Read more...

I know its hard, Ive been there. Stick to it!! It SUCKS right now, but it will get better. I promise. There is no magical cure for the cravings. Everyone has to deal with them on one level or another. It pays off in the long run. You wont feel like this forever and your quality of life will go up 100%!!
