MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMERS I HAVE AN APP FOR Y'ALL

So, it's called Story Plotter on android and you can make a load of characters as well as their whole backstories and also plot and very handy diagramms where you show the characters relations to each other.

This is what part of mine looks like, its very easy to navigate and you have infinite options for everything!

I hope everyone with a para that was taught that feeling emotions is a weakness has a great day

Welcome to funnier-as-a-daydreamer!

This is a blog for things that are not necessarily related to daydreaming, but are funnier with the context of being a maladaptive/immersive daydreamer. While I personally have MaDD, immersive daydreamers are allowed too!

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, immersive daydreaming is when you have really intense, detailed daydreams with complicated plotlines, mental worlds (known as paracosms), and reoccurring characters (known as paras). Maladaptive daydreaming, often shortened to MaDD, is when immersive daydreaming goes wrong and it begins affecting your work/school, social life, hobbies, or mental/emotional health negatively. You can learn more about MaDD by looking at @madd-information's profile, or you can check out this doc by @acircusfullofdemons for more general info on both immersive and maladaptive daydreaming.

My other daydreaming blog is @neuronarrator, which I made in 2022 to talk about my paras and paracosms. If you're interested in that, go follow me over there too. I'm the only mod on this blog so far, although that may change if this blog gets popular enough. I use any pronouns :)

I feel like one of the few positive things about maladaptive daydreaming (or possibly immersive daydreaming in general) is that when I start daydreaming while doing some sort of motor task (usually it's playing rhythm games or some other type of game) I tend to just get a lot better at said task because I'm not focusing on it?? Like my brain just decides to go all autopilot while I'm off somewhere else.

ily systems who’s introjects don’t wanna disconnect from their source because it is so entwined with who you are.

ily psychotics who want to keep some of your delusions and hallucinations because they don’t cause you stress.

ily maladaptive daydreamers who don’t wanna quit daydreaming altogether and instead want to keep the aspects that are good and comforting.

ily people who realize that healing isn’t always casting away everything that made you divergent. that sometimes it’s about managing the parts that are bad and keeping the parts that are good.

does anyone remember that madd event where you would post like your paras were running your blog for a day?? idk if it had a set date or anything but i think that’d be really fun

i might try that for like a week at some point soon-

If possible, can someone come into my DMs or just reply to this post who has MaDD? A system with MaDD is preferable, but it's okay either way.

I want to learn about it. It seems interesting, and I don't like using Google to learn about mental disorders. Plus, I've overheard my headmates thinking about it. I am not asking for a diagnosis, I am asking for education.

honestly when i think about how i made it through the past 9 years of school + uni with maladaptive daydreaming + immersive daydreaming i’m like damn, that shit’s impressive. well done me 🫂 learning to handle it on our own is hard but we can do it !!!

[rain-admist-the-tears]

Lately my partner has gotten really obsessed with drawing one of my ocs/paras and I can't help shaking every time I remember that. Like... my blorbo. My little scrunkle. AND I GET TO SEE HIM!!! I'm not an artist and I'm not that great at conveying my characters on paper but to be able to see. To have someone interested. It just. Makes me so happy.
