Is Daydreaming ""alot"" Normal??
Posted: 05-29-05 12:23pm

Does anyone ever wake up in the morning feeling nautious with an upset stomach? Someitmes it is hard for me to wake up in the morning. It hate it! But I push myself!

How about the feelings of being slow? Like your mind is a fog? Or that you are constantly daydreaming? Or your mind is preoccupied with thoughts/anything and you can easily be distracted from whats going on or being said around you? Sometimes I can miss direction or instructions. I dont know if its my anxiety that makes me daydream or if I have some sort of attention deficit? I feel like people think I am stupid but I am really smart! I just daydream alot. I consider myself more of a thinker as I am not loud and obnoxiousis. I am more calm and relaxed. My social anxiety may plan apart but I feel it is also my preference to be that way. As that is the way I am. It only bothers me when people think im too quiet. Sometimes I just dont want to talk, im too tired or there is nothing to talk about, yet I feel forced that I have to. But is daydreaming alot normal? That is my main concern.

I feel that I have some of the same issues you seem to be going through. I worry like crazy that I daydream toomuch. I daydream for hours and hours at a time wandering around my room and I don't know time passing. I am so scared this is abnormal but I cant stop for some reason. So you are not alone...Pm me if you want to, we can talk.

I have to admit that I do it also, I just lay in bed and day dream. Sometimes it is almost like I am asleep but half awake also... Its so hard to describe....

Well I usually walk around my room while I daydream, do you think its normal to daydream for hours, its almost like I have a fantasy life. When I daydream, anything could be happening in the real world and I don't care. Is this normal too?

What an fool you are, wes.

You may have more going on, like some type of seizure disorder or other disorder. Talk to your Dr., and don't ever take acid or meth.

Are you on anxiety meds? Tey can make you space out. I had trouble driving with klonopin so I had to get my dose reduced (im trying to get off of it completely but I am having trouble). A lot of those meds can make you act different

Hi there! Some people are just not morning people. If you do have to get up early, get you a time set coffee maker and make it so it is done before you get up, have a cup of coffee first thing, then take a shower and then eat something but be careful on the coffee because it is not good on the stomach. Maybe if everyone ignores what what weleyg says he might quit as he seems like he likes the attention.
Sincerely,
sandy

I wonder if I think too much sometimes? My mind is always full of thoughts and worries and most of all......""fantasies"".......It really bothers me. I can just sit in a chair and start daydreaming. I will look spaced out and weird. Then I realize I might be looking or acting strange so I try to snap out and concentrate real hard on my surroundings. It is soooooo hard to concentrate.


I know that we are constantly thinking. But are people constantly thinking about fantasies? Like thier life was better and they were rich popular, beautiful etc??? Thats what most of my thoughts consist of. I cant seem to focus on any other thoughts? Is anyone like me??? I really hate this. I wish I could focus more on school and educational concepts.

Hey down 123, I can exactly relate to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

I always fantasize my life was better, I am rich and popular and smart and other crazy stuff like that you know...
I try to concentrate on school (i am a junior in high school btw) and education like you said but it never happens. My mind always wanders off and its actually kinda scary because my fantasy life is so much different from my real life...

Like you said I can never concentrate at all and I look spaced out while I daydream for hours at a time...I am so so so glad I am not alone in this, please pm me if you ever want to talk...I would love to hear from you.

Take care.

I daydream a lot also I get it when i'm trying to read the paper or watching tv for example i'll read the first sentence of a page and take it in but anything after that I don't. My mind wanders off and before I know it i've read the whole page without taking anything in. As for watching tv its as if I go blind for a spell and all I can see is my thought and when I snap back I realise i've missed about 5 or 10 minutes of the programme I was watching!!!

I totally have this problem...All throughout highschool I had anxiety - which led to not being able to get enough sleep at night - which led to me daydreaming - which led to people teasing me for being slow - which increased my anxiety - which led to me not getting enough sleep...And round and round in circles. It's a soul defeating cycle.
