uncontrollable imagination or daydreaming / extreme or instense daydreaming

[troubledteenager]

Since 5th grade (I am in 11th grade now) I have had a very powerful imagination but the problem is it has become almost uncontrollable. Since the 10th grade i have been unconsciously falling into deep & powerful day dreams that my body would (unawaringly to me) twitch or suddenly move in response to the stimulation in my head. My imagination had me dreaming all types of different worlds & creating storylines. The pro of this was evident in my school work; i was able to come up with intelligent answers & construct captivating essays. Kids in my class have noticed the blank look on my face during lessons & the unusual body jerking. Resulting in me being watched by a number of wary kids during classes & others calling me a "freak" behind my back. Can some1 please tell me whats wrong with me? I'm left handed, good at drawing & love trance music as i find it euphoric. This fantasy world iv created is addictive. the jerks are casued by stimulation in my head. so like if i imgained someone throw a quick right my left arm wud sortof twitch cuz in my head id be imagining myself blocking it.
yea so im not nacroleptic, epileptic or got any sleeping disorders. i have done extensive research on this and havent found anything that matches, i do not have adhd or add. i have however found a few others that are facing this same predicament. all of us do not know what this is and want some answers.

Im having a problem where I cant stop talking to myself and Im walking back and fourth twitching and sometimes the way people treat me I walk away and when Im alone I think Im some sort of mobster that wants to break someones ******* legs and bury them but then when I come back around these people I act like a little school girl then I go back to my room I talk the situation over with myself not realizing that my wife is watching me do this then I go back to the other room and say what I have to say like a boss not caring about the consequences I really feel like I need help and no one believes me everyone makes me feel like their life is more super gangster and there probally right but the point Im trying to make is you dont have to be a super gangster to whoop some *** even if you lose. In conclusion I cant stop talking to myself and fantasizing all the time sometimes even tho I feel like I have a happy life just me and my wife I feel like I want to be someone not me just anyone more exciting that doesnt get these whack feelings . Idk maybe no one understands but then again people I also imagined and fantasizes this is if we all try to seek help for this then we will only be limiting ourselves to be people that cant qualify for things people with no symptoms qualify for an example I mean by this is I really want to be apart of the militairy but if I tell them I have these issues theyll probally never let me in or something or if I qualified for some sort of disability check I'll probally  never be able to go to a good college just because I cant keep my **** intact I dont own a Instagram or face book but I always wanted to do this #tell people go **** the self more often in the nicest disrespectful way that makes you feel king or queen

The daydreams can also be nightmares. Like you suddenly zone out and imagine horrific things that disturb you and cause you to even become emotional.  I'm right handed but I'm artistic, and my handwriting looks like I don't know how to write at all, haha. I don't think I should've been right handed. But the fantasies used to be good. Sometimes they still are. But my goodness, the amount of bad ones is staggering. Like some may traumatize me so much that I just have to go hide. People mistake it for me not caring about what I'm doing, especially work. I can't always control it. I was penalized in elementary school for it of course by teachers who thought it should be controlled. Ah yes, my background. The oddball, black sheep of a female. Not necessarily bullied.. but kind of. I also have such things as Trichotillomania, 3 out of 4 OCD type symptoms, acute dissisociation but not so much as to cause real 'multiple personalities', just.. like a .5 version. I describe them as "moods" because they're not often associated with who I consider myself to be. And I'm also a deep thinker and very much introverted, sometimes with desire to be extroverted but only in my head. And for the last 8 years have escaped into the world of online gaming to ease some of these issues.

I have a imaginary problum to but mine is like really weird where I'm having these imaginary friends in my head when I begin to like a fictional character or someone in real life I'm not kidding who ever is reading this! I feel like I have a world in my head called imagination town with all my imaginary thoughts and likes and I told my step dad about it and he thought it was because of all the fanfictions I read and I kinda agree but I can't stop reading them because I just love them and the scary thing is I can't stop imagining stuff please someone tell me what I should do!

dude i have the same exact problem. i m currently 14 i was born in august 17 2001. so as a kid i thought that i had no imagination, but looking back i imagined some vivid things and i would always think things that weren't real like monsters or something that wasn't there. when i was 7 i wish i had better friendships so that made me end up straying to conversations to myself. through out the the years i would imagine things and talk to myself and my mom noticed that. that was the time that i would imagine scenarios. when i was 11 i was very isolated and felt like my friends were backstabbing me so i created my own friends out of my own mind. i could talk to this person an do activities with her. but i couldn't imagine her physical form. but i realized my whole life i was always imaging people who were real to be my friends sometimes even mean kids but they were all different in my head than the real world. for some i would want my friendships to be real but i never got there. and there are some cases where in my mind there my best friend but i dont want anything to do with them in the real world. i would imagine real people but with completely different personalities because that is the only thing i cant imagine. this even happens with food. i can taste and smell food. and with people i can see them touch them and if they had perfume i could smell it. im left handed by the way

Hi, so I have the same disorder-like problems. I call it uncontrollable creativity, at random times either during class or a convocation I seem to act out one of the characters movement or phrases. It also effects me during times when I'm trying to sleep my brain begins rushing through all these different scenarios whether I've created it or its from a movie or something.

My solution isn't always helpful for other people with an uncontrollable imagination but it works for me. I write the stories into my computer, I'm not sure how it exactly works and helps me but I guess it just gets it out of my system. If Its night and I don't want to wake anyone up I finish the scenario in my mind and then sleep, it seems to make my mind think it's done and that there's nothing to really think about any more. The only problem is sometimes when I try to just play it through to end the story I accidentally start commentating it out loud which isn't always quite.... It doesn't help I've been watching the walking dead :/

Anyways, If you want, try those tactics out and hopefully it'll help you as much or more than it helps me :) have a good day and I hope I helped

OMG, your like my twin, I'm left handed too,Iv'e drawn since the 4th grade and I'm in 11th now, I love to daydream too and sometime I twitch when I get to deep into my daydream or even when I listen to music, and the beat make me get lost in my head.

It's good to be different, creating an interest in others helps to get a nice balance in being well occupied. Basically I see it as a gift, for instance in working for my father I imagined a perfect office and it this helped perfect us, at the bad times when I was bored the phantasy life became more destructive where I had to defend myself against evil beings. God with / in us can use the imaginations prophetically, where you see things in the spirit (angels, Jesus, revelations, light when you blow on people). Then there is no addictive element,  I found setting my spirit in the morning with a scripture made my whole being light, like a golden glow stays your mind on the spirit, which is life and peace. Good spaces to be in and you have complete access to your environment, i.e. good listening skills complementary. Having sexual phantasy may be a desire for intimacy, which in itself is good. Daydreaming is a nuisance because you are setting your gaze not directly before you, it is also too worldly and limited to the things we see with our eyes on television etc, the heavens are much clearer and different where our focus belongs. Hope you can relate to this.

So what's the deference between Maladaptive Daydreamer and CMS?
My 9 yr old son is very social,  has not gone thru any  trauma and  only does it when bored. He says it's usually movies or video games that he makes up they are so vivid that he does move and some sound effects. I didn't see this in any of the post I read - when my son is drawing he will also do the same thing.
I just joined the Facebook page!
