Maladaptive daydreaming (poll)

Just learned about this "disorder", and I think it's an important thing I haven't seen mentioned here. Not that I want people to start thinking they have some sort of illness, but it's something to be aware of.
Maladaptive daydreaming is (from wikipedia

• Maladaptive daydreaming, also known as excessive daydreaming, is a disordered form of dissociative absorption associated with vivid and excessive fantasy activity that often involves elaborate and fanciful scenarios. It can result in distress, can replace human interaction and may interfere with normal functioning such as social life or work.People who suffer from maladaptive daydreaming can spend more than half their days in "vivid alternative universes".
• Maladaptive daydreaming is typically associated with stereotypical movements, such as pacing or rocking, and the need for musical stimulation.[4] One of the lead researchers of maladaptive daydreaming and the person who coined the term is University of Haifa professor Eli Somer.Somer's definition of the condition is “extensive fantasy activity that replaces human interaction and/or interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational functioning.

This sums it up better than I could, and it matches my experience. Does anyone else here think they may do this, and does anyone have any solutions?

I'm not sure I would consider this an "illness", but a very bad habit, and a hard one to break. The daydreams are almost addictive from the dopamine spike they give me, it gets even worse with music, so I try to only listen when I'm lifting weights, and daydream about lifting heavier weights in front of a crowd cheering me on. Other than that the daydreams only ever detract from my day.

I mean, that can be a good viewpoint if praying to god helps you focus on what your doing, and not the daydreams.

 

Everyone daydreams, atleast I think they do, but for me it's a real issue, if I have some free time I can get drawn in for an hour or two, pacing around my house and talking to imaginary people. Of course I know none of it is real, and I know it isn't doing me any good, I want to stop, I want to do something else, but it just feels too good. It's a bad feeling, i feel addicted, and it takes up so much more time than PMO, and I always come out of it feeling worse.
You may not have an issue with it, I don't know, but when I first looked into this I knew I had a problem.

Unfortunately it does feel good, I need to get a shock collar to break these habits, but I'd probably just get addicted to shocking myself.
