Psychedelics to treat maladaptive daydreaming

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out to ask if anyone can give testimony to using psychedelics to try curing their MDD. Did your daydreaming become less frequent, less intense, or less emotionally “sticky” afterward? Did it change the underlying reasons you daydream, like anxiety, loneliness, trauma, boredom, dissociation, or avoidance? I’m also wondering whether the effect was temporary, long-term, inconsistent, or whether it made things worse in any way, like increasing dissociation, rumination, anxiety, escapism, or difficulty staying present in everyday life.

I’d also be interested in whether anything afterward seemed important, like therapy, journaling, meditation, social changes, or building new routines. Did non-psychedelic approaches end up helping more?

Thanks in advance
