What makes you think that you can't/couldn't stop Maladaptive daydreaming? Did you ever had this phase?
To contextualize, for much time, I thought that I myself weren't able to simply hold on my daydreams because I was very addicted to it, and that trying would be a loss of time and it would just come back stronger. I changed perspective when all my real life was falling and I decided that I would simply stop daydreaming for a week, since then, the daydreams came back, but I changed the way of seeing it and how it can be managed.
Did you also had periods of time in which you thought that it was just not possible to stop it? Did you break this way of thinking?
