Hi Trudi,

I am not sure how much I can be of help for you, as I am suffering of the same thing, but there is a thing you could try:

There is a saying by Marthin Luther:

“Thoughts are like birds – you may not be able to prevent them from flying over your head, but you can stop them making nest on it.”

hey i am glad that i am not the only person who has this problem. But i really want to come out of it. While having a day dream , the feeling that i don’t want to come out of it scares me and confuses me all the time. When i think about relationships, at one end when i am not day dreaming, I tell myself , that it is the last think i need right now but while day dreaming i even go to the extent of getting married or having kids. Whenever i meet new guys i just fear that if they show slightest liking for me, even in a friendly way, my day dreaming will start. it feels like, i am so weak that i cant stop it. i dont know how to control myself. This is happening so much that i am loosing my focus. Can anyone help me with this

Yeah, but sometimes day dreams keep you sane.Every body needs something to wish and hope for.

Sounds familiar. My dreams are always running ahead of the life. And the worst is when I eventually crash with the reality.

Reading this has really struck a chord with me
I am a hopeless daydreamer, especially about relationships. If I really like someone, and they give me the slightest hint that they might like me back – even if they’re only being friendly – my imagination runs away with me and I can’t keep it in check.
Sometimes it’s almost as though if think about it enough I can almost WILL it to happen.
It happened again this week and then when I realised the guy was just being friendly it really was like falling down to earth with a bump.
I think you’re right about daydreaming being almost halmful. You do get left with a sense of emptiness and lonlieness when the bubble bursts and it also makes me feel stupid for daring to hope.
I try not to let my imagination run away with me, but at the end of the day I’m a hopeless romantic, I just want the fairytale ending.

That is true Leo. Sometimes daydreams seem more pleasant than the real life and often I am more fixed with it than with reality.

yep, same problem here. the bad things about these daydreams is that when you come back to reality, theirs a feeling of emptiness in you. also you feel out of touch with the world.
