Hello breathing Humans! Hope ur day is going great!
As a title says, last 2 months I’ve been aware of something I have which I didn’t realise for 1+ years, I’ve been daydreaming since some parental restrictions on my life (not being able to use the internet , going outside, talking to strangers,etc) as a way to cope with my life problems. I have no idea what other types of mental disorders I have and I won’t self-diagnose myself on it. So back to the question. I daydream for like half of my day. Especially when I’m done using my phone or get bored, it interferes with my life so deeply I literally wake up, and daydream until I realise I should go back to my room. Sometimes I don’t realise I’m walking around the house and daydreaming until I snap back to reality, even my sister accuses me of “talking to ghosts “ or someone else they don’t see, is this normal or do I need to check myself for a doctor? Or a professional? Speaking of these 2, my family sometimes threatens me to take me to a doctor for not being able to speak properly, help and advice is appreciated, this is my first time here so I apologise if I did something a lil off or wrong,
(And last thing I live in Saudi Arabia, noticed this rule so I typed it here, again sorry)
In general it’s super common to daydream all the time. Maintaining yourself in the mindful present is a skill you have to learn. Most people are generally not mindfully present in their lives. You may want to try something like zen or breathing meditation, anything to bring you back to the present when you start to drift.
