How God set me free from maladaptive daydreaming: my testimony

[@TheBreanaDiaries]

hey can u guys pls pray for me? i struggle with maladaptive daydreaming and it rlly inhibits my ability to focus and be productive, especially during school. i usually spend hours in my head and i'm constantly pacing/acting out scenarios. it even gets to the point where if i do smthg in my head (such as laughing or thinking of something funny) then i'll laugh irl too. ik. crazy. but i don't fully blame myself for this, since i had a traumatic childhood and used MD as a coping mechanism. however, i truly feel like it has gotten severe and i don;t want to be ostracized/shunned in the real world for this when i go off to university and have to share rooms w ppl. again, i would rlly appreciate it if u guys prayed for me. tysm. God bless everyone reading this.

[@BB-mp2dz]

I will be praying for you sister or brother in Christ. I have struggled with this for so long, the lord has shown me the way out for when I am temped ( 1 corinthians 10:13) pray on it everyday and every time your temped. also when the Bible says flee from sin it means physically flee so when you feel tempted turn away from all the triggers and turn to Jesus If you feel so tempted that you feel like you can’t not do it get on your knees and pray to him it’s better to stay still and do nothing but pray than to do anything else when so tempted ❤ with much love and understanding

Please help her and set her free from the shackles of daydreaming and whatever is troubling her Father so that she may glorify you through her freedom in Christ. Please uplift her with your righteous right hand and lead her through the storms she Is facing. Help her o Lord and have mercy. Hear my prayer Lord. In Jesus name Amen.

[@blessed.Favored]

God set me free too. It is so beautiful I never knew how trapped I was. It felt like I was daydreaming against my will. Like I needed it to survive. Since Jesus found me broken and lost he restored my mental health and took away my maladaptive daydreaming.

[@TMCT2]

How long did it take for Jesus to take it away?

[@blessed.Favored]

@ It happened kinda instantly. The moment I gave my life to Christ the strong desire stopped. It literally used to control me. I couldn’t go a day without aimlessly pacing back and forth to music in my room. I tried everything, meditation, yoga, self help books, mindfulness and it didn’t work. I still daydream but not in a Maladaptive way more so normal. Although my flesh still wants to sometimes Jesus always gives me the self control and strength to not get to wrapped up in it. The blood of Jesus is sufficient. He is so sufficient and amazing. I could literally talk about him all day.

[@SamxreetKooner]

How did it happen?

[@blessed.Favored]

@ When I gave my life to Christ he just took away my urge to do it at the unhealthy magnitude that I did it.

[@60sbabydoll777]

I will not give up on chasing Jesus! I pray The Lord sets me free from maladaptive daydreaming, lust and anger. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen! I belong to the Lord!!

[@allme2547]

My last fast, I didn't really expect or know what I needed deliverance from. Part of my fast included, no non-essential communication with people (calls, texts or social media). It turned out I really needed to end an unhealthy connection I had with this girl. I found myself completely freed from any compulsion to interact with her at all. It sounds simple, but I really needed to be freed from her. She had this weird manipulative power over me, but it was completely gone & God delivered me!

[@oscarace650]

I was used to daydreaming since childhood, it was a way for me to escape pain from my family. As I grew up, if relationships failed I fell into the daydreaming and fantasizing. I accepted it as a form of self-soothing. I'm a 60-year-old man now and Jesus is still setting me free from this . Yes, not much daydreaming is left but surrender to him is a must. thank you for sharing, more will come out and ask for prayer and deliverance.

Two years ago I had this feeling that I need to fast for 3 days and it was so refreshing I also fast from talking it’s amazing how this video came in my page I was thinking about fasting again

[@MIXAE.A]

Girllll Iam literally crying when you said that you saw 3 and then saw that god is guiding you through it cuz I struggle with daydreaming and making up scenarios in my head MY WHOLE LIFE and i didnt know that this is NOT from god since I though oh I have ADHD which is like a mental "sickness" but then I realized WHY WOULD GOD GIVE YOU THAT IF HE WANTS YOU TO BE IN THE PRESENT AND THIS IS CAUSING THE EXACT OPPOSITE? so yeah 2 days ago i realized the same as depression that these are NOT FROM GOD so now iam learning how to fast correctly cuz I need Help from God to overcome this too (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ💓

[@MariaDonkova]

I feel like saying stuff like this is a little invalidating since mental illness is a very real thing. We live in an imperfect world so naturally some people are gonna struggle. And it doesn’t make you a bad christain

[@brownskingirly-z3f]

​@@MariaDonkovathey're not from God, it's just normalised things the enemy made up

[@anayaj7163]

@@MariaDonkova Somethings God will allow you to go through while HE may deliver you form others, in order to show His glory. Mental illness is from the devil, do not think the opposite. I will pray that you see the truth but please remember that all good and perfect gifts come from God (James 1:17). So if it's not good and perfect, who can it be from, AKA God allowing you to have a mental illness to show that you can still live in Christ despite an illness the devil gave to you! When the enemy can't harm you physically, he attacks your mind. What's the difference between a broken arm and broken heart? They both need healing and both can be done miraculously/swiftly through Christ. As someone who struggles with mental illness, studying the Bible and truly surrendering and devoting your life to Christ, while believing HE WILL, will truly change your life. God bless!

I have had the tendency to maladaptive daydream for most of my life. I had a whole world of characters going around in my head with a whole drama of how they lived their lives. I have experienced it less and less within the past year especially, so I think that God is taking it from me.

[@kaycihay1885]

I’ve been daydreaming since I was a young kid- it was manageable up until COVID happened- and then it became maladaptive. Currently- I am trying to recover from Maladaptive Daydreaming. I am 14- the age you said you were when you were delivered. It gives me hope to know you were set fee at my age. I’ve tried so many times in the past to stop, but I haven’t been successful yet. Most likely because I’ve given up so many times. This time- I’m not going to give up.

[@gorile6944]

Hey, I'm just a year older, but ik what you're going through. I recently stopped md'ing. But it's becoming hard. I barely watch anything to cause that temptation. I mean, when I first stopped, I couldn't even watch tv. I couldn't think straight. Now, it's not good. But also not the worst. But just know, God will never you be tempted beyond what you can bear. (1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV) It's really a painful change, but as youths of Christ, we can make it. We can do it. Yes we can, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

[@gorile6944]

Also, just for future purposes, write down when your Maladaptive thoughts dwindle, and then write down the date of your current life Ok like basically journal your journey..like a diary! I did that, and it helps, bc whatever that future purposes are, you will NEED a journal. Idk if how I said it makes sense

[@brownskingirly-z3f]

Praying for you🫂. Remember to stay in prayer, read the Word of God and fast👏🏽

[@HealthWyze]

Having lustful thoughts and urges in the teenage years is completely normal. It's a good sign. The unhealthy thing that you're experiencing is the undeserved shame for being a human being. Your natural feelings are nothing to be ashamed of. God made us this way. We're supposed to be attracted to people, and to someday make babies. This was essentially the first commandment ever; back in Genesis. Some churches, especially the Romanist one, constantly twist the Bible to make sex into a sinful thing. Of course it can be sinful, but it's also one of God's greatest gifts to us. The Bible needs to be read in perspective, and understanding it usually means ignoring the priests. They lie. Uncontrolled lust is indeed sinful, but letting it loose with the right person is okay whenever the time is right. It's why marriage exists, and it's one of the most wonderful parts of a marriage. The same sort of religious perversion exists with the topic of alcohol for another example. Drunkenness is sinful, but drinking is not forbidden. So, while many churches falsely proclaim that drinking is a sin, Jesus himself often gave people wine and drank himself. Turning water into wine for a group was one of his miracles. Technically, every communion should be utilizing real wine to properly perform the ceremony of remembrance, as he asked his disciples to. Anyway, back on topic, a sad fact is that many marriages stay forever damaged due to the false teachings of religious organizations, so that a healthy sex life is never possible. Break free from the lies while you are young, and try to find a better (more Christian) church, if yours is like this. You're better off without a church if you can't find one. The good churches won't tell you that sex is always bad, but physically abstaining from sex until marriage is the Christian ideal, or that you should marry anyone you give into the temptation with. I realize that it will probably be impossible for you to follow the ideal considering society now, but it is nevertheless the ideal. It's a good thing for us that Jesus is known to be forgiving.

[@GáborKiss-o5n]

​@@HealthWyze its not about ideals. Its about who you serve. There were the same worldly ideals in the Old Testament, when the Israelites lived around pagans whose culture was a lot worse in regards of s_x. Still many of the men whom God chose could live without listening to the culture around them.

[@christianknickerbocker604]

"Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord" that is the movement of God in this time, that you have exactly right, I encourage you to hold fast to it, relying upon nothing but the miracle working power of the holy spirit, as I see you have done. Sister this is a beautiful testimony and I encourage to you continue claiming your part in the glorious work God is unfolding to reach the lost. God bless you and may you continue to grow in Jesus and in the knowledge of Him.

[@caro_reynolds2005]

I've been a maladaptative daydreamer all my life. And you know what's funny now? Listening to your testimony triggered another fantasy in my brain to stick to my 'routine,' but I immediately caught myself and was like: gotcha! you don't like hearing this, do you? I'm starting to become aware that I'm in the midst of a spiritual warfare and that the enemy has been with me since I was a toddler If it's not too private and personal for you, I'd like to know what you told God, what prayer or in what way you prayed... I also want Him to set me free 💔

[@abbeylorraine234]

Hi! I wanted to say a few of things so sorry this is a long read 😅. You’re definitely not alone in this. I’m a 22 year old who’s been suffering from severe maladaptive daydreaming since I was 8. It’s gotten to the point where it’s not just in my head anymore; I daydream out loud now. It’s mostly been angry daydreams too, which makes it so much worse for me. It’s like an addictive drug that I can’t help but going back to. So, seeing this in my recommended was kind of crazy because I’ve only seen about one or two other Christians talking about this on the internet. I hope this will be talked about more because it really does take a toll on you A piece of advice I will give you too is that you always ALWAYS watch out for demons. It’s great that you found freedom from maladaptive daydreaming, but remember that the devil absolutely HATES that and he will try whatever he can to stop you from reaching to Christ more and more. I’m speaking from personal experience too since I’ve been basically suffering ever since I became an Orthodox catechumen over a year ago (on my way to become an Orthodox Christian). Becoming Christian is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. But this is what we’re call to do: to shed the old person we once were and become anew. I pray that you continue to thrive in your spiritual journey and God bless you sister ❤️

[@katrinmorawitz1885]

[@tastehisgoodness]

Thank you so much sister for uploading this testimony!! You don't have to feel ashamed, for so many Christians so this struggle! But God delivered me too! In fact, God digged deeper and helped me understand the root😢. Daydreaming was for me like a form of wanting to control people/situations, and often to my own profit - like being my own god. Sometimes, I catch myself beginning to daydream, then by God's grace I stop and move on with the life He has for me!❤😊😊

[@Reverie_reveals]

KZbin keeps recommending me a lot about Maladaptive Daydreaming these days. I always noticed that Holy Spirit is teaching me through videos, very organized. Maladaptive Daydreaming is really tough to control. Self-control is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. After recognizing my other sins, I tried so hard to change my ways. Maladaptive Daydreaming is lustful, idolatry and vanity. I keep reminding myself about 2 Corinthians 10:5. I'm extremely imaginative when I was a child, but I think Maladaptive Daydreaming already begins, it's my coping mechanism due to unhealed wounds and complex trauma. Oftentimes I create a false reality, that's why whenever I'm in public I can't take off my mask, fear of losing control and acting out because of too much fantasy, daydreaming. I suffered from vanity and perfectionism. But I keep reminding myself that I must walk in the narrow path, stay here. I must crucify my flesh, obey God's commandments, scrutinize His every word, even the tiniest details. And must live a holy life like Jesus. Sanctification, renunciation, obedience, repentance, purification, etc. We must take up our cross and follow Him. We must die with Jesus.

[@kudzai_mlambo]

I love it here God. Jeremiah 33:3 Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge. This has been the verse on my mind today ❤

[@Solomon.R]

God bless you for your courage. I've had a storied life, daydreamed a lot of it away as a coping mechanism since I was young. Only recently did I find God again, but even so I'm not so decided on one prophet over another. When you said "God spoke to me" I laughed. I know how crazy it sounds, but in our worst moments he does give us the answer we need. Even if only barely, and maybe a part of why it comes that way is so we'll keep those words humble with a grain of salt. Or maybe I'm just crazy ;)

[@Solomon.R]

Also, I thought about it, and go look at Proverbs 17:17.

[@IjustloveJesus]

I am so glad that you've found your way back to Jesus, that truly is amazing! And I wouldn't call myself a prophet at all, but I believe that God speaks to all of His children. There are times where we hear Him wrong, but it is a process of learning His voice through fellowship and intimacy with our Creator. In John 10:3-6 it says, "'To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.' Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them." The more we spend time with Him, the more that we learn His voice and can be led by the Holy Spirit, and I have to say, it has made God as real as a friend to me. Although I completely agree when you say we should be humble about hearing the voice of God, because a lot of harm can come if we go around saying, "God said this!" when it really wasn't God at all. And be encouraged that there is hope for all addictions and sins through Jesus Christ! The desire of God is that we are all walking free from bondage on this earth! God bless :)

[@IjustloveJesus]

Also, I have to admit, I read the verse you gave to me, and I'm not entirely understanding the correlation. I'm sorry! Could you maybe elaborate a little bit?

[@Solomon.R]

@@IjustloveJesus Sorry, that is a bit cryptic, 17:17 is the length of your video, maybe I'm reading into it too much. It seems like a fitting passage for your testimony, which in your coment you kind of repeat with having a fellowship/friendship view of God and/or Christ. If I recall, it was also Jesus's last instruction to his disciples that they were no longer disciples, but Friends of Jesus and to Love one another. Not calling you a prophet, lmao. I'm actually saying I'm not a Christian (yet?), but I do believe in the word. Thank you for your kind words.

hey, thank you for sharing ur testimony ✨💜 i dont comment much in social media in general but your testimony really moved me I believe God led me into deliverance back at December last year when someone prayed over me.When I was being prayed over, they started pointing out about "the voices in my head" which is a perfect description of my Maladaptive Daydreaming. I NEVER told anyone about it so I was really surprised when they started casting out spirits. Over the course of January, God has been leading me to testimonies about how people were set free from Maladaptive Daydreaming (which is surprising since they just started popping up in my feed) Hearing such testimonies about it just really encourages me. I feel like this is also one way of God reassuring me about it too-? Cuz lately I've been so hurt over the fact my own mentor in Church doesn't understand my struggle with it. My own godly friends don't understand the depth of it either. It felt like my horrible experiences were just invalidated (in still trying to forgive them for it tho) Im just really happy to know the fact that im not alone in this struggle of Maladaptive Daydreaming so yeah. I don't feel so alone anymore about it now 💜

But asides your testimony about how you overcame maladaptive daydreaming, i'm amazed at how God came through for you at such a young age and also how much freedom God is bringing to so many young people with your testimony (reading the comments got me almost emotional).

[@Light_Kid]

I was recommended this video yesterday, but put off watching it until now. I am completely shocked at how much I relate to this- characters and plotlines, whispering their conversations when I was alone, not having any friends in school- well I used to but I think that when I lost them that might have made things worse. I've never heard of maladaptive daydreaming... And frankly from the way you describe it, it sounds a lot like what I've done for most of my life. I remember sometime in 3rd grade I was frustrated with myself for not being able to 'live in the moment' and not knowing why.. I experienced a lot of those frustrations when I was younger, especially due to my lack of proper social skills. I actually was going to type a really long comment detailing every instance that stands out to me- it's very extensive. But I will just say I'm very confused- I would really want to talk to someone about this who understands.. I have so many questions and concerns. These thoughts happen before I sleep and when I wake up. This has happened for years. Crazy thing is, now that I'm older (same age as you mentioned in the video)- I seem to put myself in a position to where I can daydream more easily- if that makes sense. Part that is most confusing to me is that I actually like creating stories and characters, writing and creating art. I know part of it is that it's a gift God has given to me.. But a lot of the more lustful imaginations just completely being me to shame and frustrate me. I know that if I pray before bed they don't show up, but I do forget sometimes, and then it comes back. I haven't dealt with a lot of my problems, really- but I do have an advantage over my younger self- so to speak. I know that God listens to and loves me.. I'm still just so confused. I think a lot of it is fear, too. Whenever I had to make a big decision- even it just being to talk to someone (yes that was big to me), I would just completely shut down, and freeze. And then I'd forget about it until it came up again. I genuinely have thought something is very wrong with me because of all this. I don't really know what to do. Drawing these characters brings me joy- and at some point I realized that I didn't want them to get in the way of God- but I still have to figure out how to deal with that. But also to the extent that one of them in particular was visible to me years ago (not like a hand in front of a face, but like in a very strong mental picture) walking around and talking to me- and I would create this- but it was also seemingly real. Kind of scary now that I think about it. I'm not sure if it made a difference compared to then (I don't think I was truly saved then, now I think I might be- I complicate things too much.) But the characters I imagine are pretty different. But I think it still is a problem. I don't know what to do, this actually scares me.

Woah thank you for sharing this! It reminds me a lot of my younger self! Do you have at least a church that you regularly attend? Or a Christian community, so that they can pray for you too? 😊

[@estheraiyelabola6933]

Thank you so much for this! Although I have childhood trauma which made me do this, I know through prayer and therapy it will get better! ❤️✝️

[@JustSooNoraa]

Thank you so much for sharing, I thought I was the only one who was struggling with these thoughts…REALLY THANK YOU SOO SOOO MUCH💗 I’m literally crying.

[@angeleanadavis20]

This really encouraged me tonight. Thank you very much for sharing this. This touched my heart in such a deep way . Your pure desire for God and his help, it's beautiful ❤️ please make more videos !

[@susanmo3137]

😮😮 oh my God my lord Jesus help me. I didn't know and have been going through this since I was a child and now ..now in THIS moment I realized this is thee main cause of my increased tardiness to work. I get to work at noon instead of 8am it got like this when I experienced heartbreak last June and I thought I was depressed which I was but the daydreaming increased and my zeal to work and live decreased greatly. I'm stuck in my head a lot. I thought daydreaming was my only way to have sunshine in my life and staying positive so I talk to myself a lot. I still don't think it's bad but now I see today that it has been a drug to me. I am sorry God and I really really need help. I've been feeling lost and not knowing what is wrong with me and how to fix me and now I see this video and recognize that this behavior is one of the reasons for my work ethics taking a horrible dive. I ask you God for healing from this and help me to live in the present moment. Amen

I found out that there was a spirit in my room , specifically the spirit of fear. And to escape it's presence i would daydream for hours before i fall asleep. Please guys read your word and pray that God grants you the holy spirit

u waking up everyday is him helping u!!! he loves u so much and if draw near to him he’ll draw near to u

[@tfhrs]

@@armani.5055 no it's not and as I said drawing near him didn't work

[@CreativeChristianContent]

Did you try fasting sometimes theses a block and fasting can quiet the soul and allow the spirit to take centre stage

[@tfhrs]

@@CreativeChristianContent you missed the point of the comment I think you should read it again

[@estheraiyelabola6933]

So sorry that you feel that way. There are many techniques online that can help with maladaptive daydreaming as well as therapy! God still loves you and sees you! Try reading the Bible for guidance! Maladaptive daydreaming could stem from unresolved childhood trauma. Again as a Christian I am trying to focus on God more and I am also using many therapy if techniques I have seen from psychologists which has been helping me gradually! I pray that things work out for you! God bless you! ❤️✝️

Is daydreaming a sin?

[@sarahspeed5239]

thank you

[@lone-welf]

you may want to look up the meaning of 3AM. 3 can also represent the holy trinity but isn't always a good sign. glad things are looking positive for you tho.

[@Heritagemissionary]

How do I know which method God is telling me to do , it’s hard

[@TMCT2]

What type of fast was it? A water fast?

[@openlybookish]

Also isn't this kind of day dreaming a coping mechanism?
