Lately I've been seeing posts about MDD which made me sooo happy with the fact I've felt so alone and embarrassed by it, hearing people spreading this around and talking about struggling made m feel so less alone. However, sometimes, often times when I'm scrolling mostly through tiktok, what is being described is not MDD. I mostly see the post coming from neurodivergence about MDD, but it just sounds like regular daydreaming? Sure, some people might do it more than others, especially nuerodivergent but I find it hard to find people like me. I daydream at least 8 hours a day, I spend all my free time doing it, it's all I do. I feel like i have no personality or life due to it. When someone asks what I've been doing lately, any hobbies it's so embarrassing because I quite literally spend my time daydreaming and nothing else. When scrolling through TikTok's it just comes off as "picking out my daydreams before I go to bed" "Getting into my fantasies while I'm at work" "Sometimes I cry when I daydream" It doesn't give the same as somebody chronically daydreaming for hours doing repetitive movements. When I open up about this conversation irl my sibling goes "I understand, I daydream while I'm driving" I haven't really seen people talking about it but sometimes it feels like people mistake regular daydreaming to MDD.
