This YouTube video is actually pretty helpful, my daydreaming addiction is getting worse lately due to stress. I keep getting sucked into imagining stories and scenarios so I'm gonna make an effort to work on it. Leaving this video in case anyone else could use it

- note for myself, my daydreaming seems to get triggered it be centered around giving advice to people or helping people. Wonder if it's linked to feeling unheard idk 😕 I wish therapist were cheap lol

Affable, have you tried doing something that forces you to focus on the outside world, like gardening for instance?

Hi there affable! I often thought daydreaming was a good thing, like they were the dreamers of a bigger world 🌏. But your post makes me realize that it might not be that way for everyone...

Feeling unheard can always bring down a person's morale 😞, so you connection between daydreaming and feeling unheard is quite likely. If you ever need someone to talk to, my chats are always open, and so are the arms of our people of color community 🤗. We're here for you 🫂

Much Love 💛

I watched the video, and I believe I go through the same thing! I spend time thinking about all the things I want to do, but I don't make an effort. This was helpful, thanks!
