who cares if i want to mentally live in my daydream universe while i physically rot away. that's my business

no write only daydream

"You are so quiet" bro i daydream 80% of my time

no you live in a society, i live in unrealistic idealised romantic daydreams about fictional characters

you are so much more than that failed test. that interview gone wrong, your relapse, the missed opportunities, the words you wish you could take back. you are not your mistakes. you're a person who's trying. there are so many opportunities to make things right. you'll get there, even if it takes a few more tries.

Maybe I’ll start making mood boards again.

everyday i wake up and attempt my silly little tasks while daydreaming about fictional characters

I worked so hard for so long to hide my madd for so many years, but it just isn’t worth it. It’s not something to be ashamed of, love yourself.

discourse in mental illness communities is so toxic that it kinda triggers me everytime i see it.

Stop convincing yourself you’re wasting your life away. The time you’ve spent resting and healing was and is necessary. You’re not a waste of a person if you find yourself struggling right now. Healing, recovering, sitting with your pain is foundational. It’s not a waste. You are still whole.

...what clown is saying this? you literally can not be diagnosed with madd to begin with 🤡.

incorrect self-diagnosis happens all of the time and it’s not always a big deal. nor is there always malicious intent behind it.

there are a lot of gray areas and overlap between different disorders, so trying to self-diagnose can be very confusing. and it can be a lot more confusing when you’re trying to figure out if you have a disorder that is very under-researched and that isn’t “officially recognized" which makes getting a professional diagnosis near impossible.

people are going to misdiagnose themselves as maladaptive daydreamers a lot. and that’s okay. trying to figure out and understand your mental health is a difficult and exhausting process, especially when you have multiple mental illnesses all interacting with and affecting each other to make things more muddy. you don’t need to make it harder on people by yelling at them or making them feel guilty because you think they misdiagnosed themselves. nor should you be demanding that they reveal more details about their disorder so you can judge if they’re wrong or not. and you don’t need to comment on every post you see from someone who you think may have misdiagnosed to tell them that you think they misdiagnosed.

constantly trying to un-diagnose strangers on the internet is a lot worse than anyone accidentally misdiagnosing themselves. and by doing that, you could end up harming someone who actually does have madd by making them scared to talk about it and seek help.

this community needs to also be a safe-space for people who are unsure if they have madd and are just trying to figure it out. for some people that could take months or even years and they deserve patience and understanding, not hostile and passive-aggressive posts that demonize people who “think they have madd, but don’t”
