Daydreaming has taken over life

A Story by Tryingtolive

I have just recently discovered that I am suffering from a disorder that is taking up my life and I am finally going to get my life of track.

Alive.

What a great word a, word that is said in almost all motivational speeches. Everyone wishes to know what it means to feel truly alive. I used to believe that I was living and happy. One day I was watching some YouTube videos, ironically trying to find some inspiration for my daydreams, then my eye got drawn to a video entitled maladaptive daydreaming. It intrigued me so I started reading the comments and found out that there are hundreds and thousands of people just like me. Talking about how unhappy they were with real life and how they like to escape into their fantasy worlds. Never before had I confronted myself with what I was actually wasting my life on. I have been wasting my life on a fantasy world with fantasy people. Escaping from all my problems by throwing my life away and locking myself in my room. I need to quit this addictive lifestyle. I need to find what it truly means to be alive.

This is my journey to finally feeling alive.
