i was today years old when i found out i have maladaptive daydreaming and still do.
i had it ever since i was little and always been my way to cope and get out of reality.

“In 2002, Professor Eli Somer first defined the phenomenon of maladaptive daydreaming. He believed that maladaptive daydreaming could develop as a result of trauma or abuse, and act as a coping strategy to escape reality.”
as a victim of child abuse and severe depression **(4 months strong so far! no signs of depression coming back! ive been so focused on meditating and being a positive person in general! going vegan really helped me)** daydreaming has always been a coping mechanism for me.
