Anyone else daydreaming?

[Jen813]

I have this problem, and I was honestly just wondering if any of you out there have the same issue.  Sometimes during the day (any time of day) out of nowhere I start daydreaming.  I day dream about all kinds of things...and I mean ALL kinds of things.  Regardless, when I get into this state I find it very hard to get myself out.  It's not as if I have lost touch with reality and don't know that I'm not living in my daydream, but I have a hard time getting it out of my head and focusing.  I find myself just kind of walking around the house thinking about what's inside of my head and feeling like I've kind of lost touch with reality. Sometimes I can kick myself out of it, but other times it lasts all day and I am so relieved when night comes because usually it's gone by morning.  It's bizzare, and it's really affecting me in the way that I can't seem to get anything done when I'm here...I also don't like to be bothered when I'm in this state.  I would be wonderful if everyone would just leave me alone.  Anyway, is there anyone out there who does this kind of thing, or have I completely lost my mind????

You're not the only one. Every since I was little I had problems focusing and paying attention all throughout school. I still do it now while I be in my college classes. I even have trouble with daydreaming when i'm driving and i have to swerve a little bit to snap myself out of it. When I daydream it just be like I'm in my own world and i feel free.So dat makes harder to snap out it. I always have a blank look on my face when i'm doing and i be just zoned out until someone says something or make some kind of noise. And everybody i talk no matter when or where I always miss something they say because I be daydreaming.

You know what?  That never even dawned on me! Now that you said it it makes perfect sense.  Thank you and I am going to look into that.

Think you should both be checked for ADD.  Most bpers have some degree of ADD or ADHD.  I have ADD and to some extent this sounds like me.  I zone out a lot when ppl are talking to me, and especially in situations like sitting in church for long periods of time.  But I don't really know where my brain is.  Maybe I'm daydreaming and just don't know it.  ;-)

You are not crazy!  Or maybe we have both lost our minds!  I have started having a similar feeling the last two or three years.  I just thought it was normal I guess, but it can be very distracting.  At work sometimes I will ask my boss for help with something and then I completely tune her out and start daydreaming and can't force myself to stop.  Then I have no idea what she said and I feel like an idiot.   I can't pay attention at church no matter how hard I try.  When I was in in school I would end up tuning out lectures and have to go back and try to read about what the professor was talking about when I snapped out of daydreaming.  And I want everyone around me to shut up and let me live in my daydream and I end up snapping at people that don't deserve it.  I usually don't have daydreams that last all day, but often for several hours, and they sort of take over and it is very hard to get anything done.
