I went through a really bad spell of this in my life. I was pacing in my house for 6-8 hours a day just imagining scenarios. My feet would hurt and I knew I was making myself miserable, but it was obsessive. The scenarios weren't high stakes arguments, they were things I wanted to do. Quite bizarre.
I don't miss that time, and I think I would prefer scrolling, even if it's objectively bad for me. I am curious if Maladaptive Daydreaming will be a real medical term someday, or if it's just a specific symptom of anxiety and ADHD.
