maladaptive daydreaming feels really weird

maladaptive daydreaming combined with hyperfixations helps when making ocs for fandoms, like yoy could make a super fleshed out character in only a few days, it also gives free entertainment for me.

although its annoying trying to focus, like i'll be trying to draw or do research fro school stuff, and i get frustrated quickly bc whatever im hyperfixated is all i wanna think about, and its really annoying when that happens

its also fun revisiting old obsessions and ocs from what ever you were obsessed with, sort of feels like going to somewhere you used to always go to. + its interesting noticing patterns in what ocs you make, example : always giving the main oc a certain type of traume, hair color, ect

also being able to just daydream if your in a bad situation to cope, although i wouldnt recomend having that as a coping mechanism, bc its not really healthy to do that, just running away from trauma doesnt solve anything or make you feel better in the long run

another thing is that its kind of a form of dissasotiation which uh, really isnt healthy, like i could just be immearsed in daydreaming all day then reality hits me hard. the realisation leaves you with an empty and dead feeling, like as if you just woke up from a coma and learned everything was just a dream and was all a lie

another thign is that your never really fully there, like you could not be daydreaming but you never really are fully there, always a little zoned out. its a weird feeling. stuff just doesnt sink in as much. you spent most of your time being in a fantasy you made, to the point it starts to feel more real than where you are.

overall 4/10 has some benifits but disadvantages suck a lot

@N0xyLL: damn- that’s super cool!

my friends dad had an interest in coins a long time ago:] it’s super cool hearing about people special interest!!

@my_names_Ars0n: >:] IM BACK ! I want a pet squirrel so bad there's only a few states where it's legal to keep them in the USA tho !! I'm from Illinois and you need a wildlife rehabilitator license to keep them here, as far as I'm aware the green states for owning them without permits are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Indiana, Lousiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia! There are a few yellow states where there isn't specific laws or you need some kind of permit which are Wyoming, West Virginia, Utah, South Dakota, Rhode Island, North Carolina, North Dakota, Mississippi, Maine, Idaho, Illinois and Florida (possibly more/less). Oh! Speaking of IL, there's something called Leucism which is lack of melanin but not all melanin like Albinism and in the USA Illinois has the largest population of Leucistic squirrels! (as far as I'm aware, there isn't a ton of research on certain things for me to look into). I think Leucism is really cool because you can get completely white Leucistic animals but you can also get ones with patches of white! You can tell the difference between a Leucistic animal and an Albino animal by their eyes, Leucism doesn't strip all pigment so their eyes will still be naturally colored! Where as Albino animals (and people) have pink-purple eyes!

Special interest rant! Seagulls. I love them. They're just so fjszbhvgskgfrkaws /pos They just scream and their round most of the time! I honestly relate to the s c r e a m part- -Michael
