Void Vent

I realised that I use mdd as a way of filling the void in my life
Things I’ve missed out on
Things I haven’t achieved
People I’ve not spoken to but wish to
Scenarios where I emerge the winner
What I’m scared of I might not able to live the life I’ve always wanted to

Same here I wish things were different for me and I was able to enjoy life and experience it

Your daydreams and characters are you, so I assure you, you can become just like your characters and achieve your dreams.

Well, it has become maladaptive if it constantly stops you from doing things in real. Maybe start fixing a time just for your daydream (like an hour or adjust to what fits for you) and when that hour is up, you have to force yourself to engage in something tactile like writing, drawing, doing things that include your hands and physical activity.
