maladaptive dreaming

I've posted about this briefly but I wanted to go into more depth.. I think I have MD.. but I don't know what to do or if I can be helped... If you can give advice then I welcome it with open arms.

I'm a 17 year old girl, who also has depression and anxiety.. I am fully aware of what I do and think it's childish but it is the only thing I enjoy doing now.. I have lost interest in everything else.

Most of my day is spent doing this.. literally hours.. I can't find the will to do anything else.. and I have to get ready for it - dress in clothes to go out, do my hair, etc.. or I feel like my characters will judge me it's stupid I know.

I mainly do it in my room but have done it out and about plenty of times...
I act out certain mannerisms and scenes but it's the same three scenes over and over again.. It's always with famous idols and I also pretend that sometimes they like me..



This was some of the checklist given on a certain website.. stating if you have more then half you're likely to have MD;

I have lost hours or days at a time to fantasizing, sometimes without even realizing it.
Yes.. I spend most of my days fantasizing!

Sometimes I can’t watch movies, read books, or listen to music without slipping into a daydream.
Typically it will be music as the characters are typically famous idols

My fantasies cause me to skip meals, lose sleep, or neglect other basic needs.
I can't sleep until I have successfully finished my 'dream' meaning i've gone to bed at 3am just because I was talking to 'someone' for ages

I act out my daydreams through talking, singing, dancing, etc.
I always pretend I'm a celeb talking and dancing with other celebs.. I have actual convos and pretend they're talking to me and I tend to pretend some like me

I make facial expressions when I fantasize.
I pretend someone said something or confessed and I act shocked or surprised or embarrased

I engage in repetitive movements (rocking, pacing, etc.) during an episode.
Dancing, it's always dancing or pacing

My fantasies make it difficult to focus on my job or schoolwork.
I have to finish a fantasy or start one before feeling happy to do something else

I fail to complete tasks or miss important deadlines because I can’t stop daydreaming.

I am emotionally invested in my imaginary characters and storylines.

I lose time with friends or family to my daydreaming.
I would much rather stay in my room and dream then go out with friends.. I've said I'm busy to my friend before so I could finish my fantasy with this character




I don't know what to do..
