I've been struggling with something similar, except instead of maladaptive daydreaming in a broad sense, it's shipping. Shipping has always been a major outlet and source of dopamine for me. I get really, really, REALLY into my OTPs for years at a time. But it's been two or three years now since the last time I felt intensely engaged with an OTP.

I always felt like my ships chose me. Now I feel like I'm trying to choose them and it's not really working. I'm just not getting the "OMG I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM HNNN" chemicals like I used to.

For a while I thought I was either depressed or just too old (and it could still be that), but I've recently discovered my free estrogen and free testosterone levels are crazy low, and probably dropped this low around three years ago, so now I'm thinking maybe that's got something to do with it.
