How God set me free from maladaptive daydreaming: my testimony
As you guys can tell, I was very nervous about making this, as it is my first video. I truly hope that this video encouraged you to call on God, because He is the God who sets the oppressed free!
For anyone who doesn't know, maladaptive daydreaming is a mental illness that is characterized by obsessively daydreaming. People who struggle with this might have imaginary characters and storylines in their head. In my particular case, I would pace and rock back and forth in my bedroom for hours, putting myself in an almost trance-like, hypnotized state. I would whisper dialog that the characters were saying in my head out loud to myself when I was alone. Thank you Lord for the Blood of Jesus that set me free!
He is Lord over all. He is Lord over any mental illness or diagnosis you may have received. He is the King of Freedom.

    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!❤😊😊

    I found out today that this is a real thing and it's amazing how many people suffer from this and how they share their testimony about how Jesus set them free from this and also what they did to not go back to that route! Our lord is good and now that I know what is going on withOur lord is good and now that I know what this daydreaming is, I can now Rejoice because I now know what it is and with God's help, and along with coming up with strategies on not doing this, it is going to be a big help for me! I've been doing this since I was very young where I would imagine my life was better than what it was or I would be a celebrity and getting the guy that I want and before you know it, I end up masturbating to them and half of the day is almost over and I haven't done much that I should be doing! The first video about this showed up and I was like wow this is really serious and then I saw another woman's testimony and now I have seen yours. We are all in this together and along with God so we can all get through this and trust me no one is alone! I suffered from a disfunctional family life with my dad who treated my mom very badly and other traumatic things that I went through.

    Whoever is reading this: YOU CAN BE DELIVERED! God may allow you to have a mental illness to show that you can still live in Christ despite an illness the devil gave to you! He may also deliver you from an illness to show those who hear your testimony, Jesus STILL preforms miracles and that GOD is ALIVE! Think about it: if the enemy can't harm you physically, because of God's protection on your life so He may continue to work through you, the enemy attacks your mind so you'll be too distracted or hurt to fulfill your purpose. For example, if God intended to have you pray over someone today or read the Bible, how can you do that if you feel "too guilty" (spirit of condemnation -> devil) or depressed (also the devil)? 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, pray always, and stay steadfast in Christ! Also thank you for posting this video, creator!

    hope everyone watching listens to the end. wonderful what you have shared about how freedom only comes by the blood of Jesus Christ who took on all of our sin and shame and guilt, and the Father’s wrath in our place, and rose again so we are forgiven and set free from sin. Praise the Lord for your testimony and your love for Him and your obedience to Him by putting this video on here. This was so encouraging my sister, that freedom IS possible in Jesus! Lots of love to you and everyone that is reading this!!

    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.

    CZcams 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.

    • @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.

  • @oscarace650
    @oscarace650 Před 4 měsíci

    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.

    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 💔

    😮😮 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

    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!

    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.

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
