God is such an intentional God, it never ceases to amaze me.😹

I literally just prayed about this, I didn't know that it's called maladaptive daydreaming, but I knew that I was spending more time in my head than in reality, not getting things done. That's a problem.

I just left the church right now after thinking about this, and boom, I open Substack and find this post. Somebody shout poweeeerrr!😹😹

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this!🥹❤️

Yes, he can. He's a God that's always there for us anytime we call upon him.

I love your transparency! Honestly this is so real as I’ve struggled with it too. I wish you nothing but the best on journey, keep trusting Him and walking with Him even though it’s hard. You will see His plan is better than anything you could’ve ever imagined (literally) 🌼.

I can so relate to this

I do the MD too, and it really worsened last year (after my dad died)

I've been trying to get over it, and seeing this post is so encouraging.

You've also encouraged me to start posting instead of thinking about doing it

Hi Uchechi, I'm so glad you found this helpful. Grieving over a loved one is a nightmare, but MD is definitely not the best way to get through it. I pray God gives you the strength to push through.

Ps: I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs and prayers 🫂❤️
