I suffer from Maladaptive Daydreaming

This is the complete opposite of Aphantasia, which is probably most controversial topic in this board, I can form vivid fantasies but completely absorbed in it until the point it renders me useless/unproductive. It feels weird, I day dream a lot, like 5 hours a day. I've created vivid visual stories that spans for years, I created the whole world building, characters, story progressions, and so on. Ironically, while I can create mental images of almost anything, I can't apply it to art. I feel like this excessive capabilities of forming mental images could be handy for art, but I don't know how to use it in art. I always get disappointed whenever I tried imagining something, draw it and it totally sucks/different from what I imagined. Any other anons here who have suffered from this syndrome? Maybe if any of you have had the same problem, you can share your tips to overcome it.
