Never heard of Maladaptive Daydreaming until now. Glad it's not just me; I've had a hell of a time explaining this sensation over the years.

People who do this tend to “lose themselves” in extremely vivid and detailed daydreams. Research also shows this kind of daydreaming might be compulsive. That means it’s difficult — if not impossible — to control that you’re doing it.

Oh look, another symptom…

I think I have this, but I don’t JRR Tolkien level have this

I might be up there, but who knows. I describe it as a "constant white noise of thought". Wish it was JRR Tolkien-style fantasy instead of anxiety over "what would I do if X?" and "let's make up drama to react to".

The plans are only well thought out if they correspond with your adhd personality. My plans start after 10am and 32 cups of coffee and rarely fail.

Then again, it feel very adhd-like to think about everything except the most obvious

I've always thought that I do better with a planned day. Recently, I thought about it, and I changed my perspective.

It's not that I can do better with a plan, but merely the fact that without a plan, I will do worse.

Once I stopped viewing the plan as optional, I was able to be more consistent. We'll see how long it lasts, though.

Lol today in therapy I got told I need to let go of the expectation of this not happening.

No.

Let's not forget parents sending you on sidequests, people interrupting you, and using you all day.
