#daydreaming disorder

is it even possible to feel the same kind of love in real life that you feel in your paracosm? i swear i love nobody more than my paras, and i'm scared i'll never experience love in real life because of this

[daydreamkisses]

a moment of silence for the daydreams i spent years on only to abandon them without second thought

[id-daydream]

I don’t know why but it’s very hard for me to focus on an original paracosm, I guess I just prefer already made worlds. Anyone else like this?

Currently in a daydream where he is sitting across from me, gazing into my eyes while “Falling For You” by 1975 plays in the background as he actually falls in love with me. Feeling giddy, y’all.

Get up girls we have another day of obsessing over fictional characters to cope with reality ahead of us

Maladaptive Daydreaming (Diary Entry) Sat. February 22, 2025 12:11 PM

I daydream all the time. Sometimes, when I'm in a daydream, something will happen that pulls me out of it. I don't know if it was because I was drunk or high, but I went on YouTube to look into daydreaming (or maladaptive daydreaming).

I came across a video called "Maladaptive Daydreaming Caught on Camera." Normally, when I watch a video on maladaptive daydreaming, I never relate to what they're saying, or they say it's not a real illness, which makes me feel like it isn't a real problem.

Anyway, after watching the video of a young woman walking around her room, whispering to herself, I felt seen—but at the same time, crazy. It was insane and triggering to think about the fact that I look/looked like that for years. For some reason, it was truly sickening.

I looked down at the comments to see that a lot of other people also have a big problem/obsession with daydreaming, lasting throughout their whole lives. There were also other people equally shocked and disturbed by how they look while engaging in their harmless habit. All that, combined with the connection I’m discovering between this and child abuse, left me in tears.

Afterward, I watched a video made by that blonde therapist, which made me realize that this is an addiction. That isn’t at all surprising, considering I have been doing it for years and have an addictive personality. I looked around, and all I could see was my room—just me and my pink room. It was silent. Eerily silent. Disturbingly silent.

I'm scared of my reality and how empty my life is. How I've ignored my life, myself, my little sisters, and anyone else around me who could have honestly helped me. And all for a better reality that wasn't even real, with people who don’t even actually know that I exist.

I feel dizzy and disoriented when I try to pull myself out of the dream. It feels like people are watching me, waiting for me to perform for them. Just the thought of not doing it—of ignoring them—makes me feel vulnerable, sad, alone, and exposed. Like a sick child or a flower about to be stepped on.

Soulmates? No, my love. I love you on purpose. I see every horrible thing you've done and are and I love you regardless. I love you with intention, with the desire that you feel all the energy I put into loving you. Sure, soulmates are cute, romantic even. But my love for you is something far more primal and a lot more unrelenting, it’s without a red string of fate or because the stars say so. I love you because I say so.

i will get so locked in fr 😭

Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where

[id-daydream]

I’m wondering, does reoccurring dreams you have where you’re in the same world and are the same character in each dream count as a paracosm (albeit unintentionally made since it’s not a lucid dream), or does it have to be a daydream/purposefully made?

[yourinsanepoet]

The fact that I can’t make a drunk confession to my para about all the terrible things that have ever happened to me and that I have loved him all my life which I won’t admit otherwise, so he listens to me patiently before putting me to a peaceful sleep, just doesn’t sit right with me.

[fallingmaddlyinlove]

god damn. i just got called a loser for my madd

like damn. sorry i'm mentally ill.

[fallingmaddlyinlove]

it's my one coping mechanism that won't kill me so i'm keeping it

on one hand, relying on fictional characters for happiness is objectively Not Healthy™

on the other hand, i literally made them up in my own brain and i can make them do whatever the fuck i want because my mind is my own safe space and i can do whatever the fuck i want with it

at this point i'll take whatever meager sliver of control i can get honestly these bitches should be glad i choose daydreaming over death when the world is the way it is 💀

[dark-dirty-daydreams]

Sorry for becoming violently obsessive after you showed interest, it will never stop.

As someone with dissociative issues, I cannot shut up about how much I love Copia’s dissociation in RHRN.

Just that flat-out refusal to accept the horrible facts of life (in this case Sister dying). His mind trying to manifest the reality he wishes for, and the confusion as he slowly sees what’s actually happening again.

The way how confused he is when he’s suddenly changed into his black robes.

The hazy way he sees reality and his own imagination blending (Sister being tended to by a doctor while he tries to ignore it).

The. Fucking. Balloon. Sequence.

Copia wants away from his problems, so his mind flies him away until he literally crashes back into reality.

The balloon was great way to show it bc I know when my issues start, it does feel like I’m floating, like I’m in a different realm to the rest of the world.

I love it all and how it was done. Tobias Forge, you are a GENIUS.
