My head is empty - is yours too?

You could've been writing about my mind! This is exactly how my brain is. I used to not understand how anyone could ever be bored until I realised not everyone had constant thoughts and an endless soundtrack running amok in their head. I say I have a mental radio, I don't even have to think about it, there is just always a song playing in the background. Also, the only time I'm ever "bored" is at work, because I have to force myself to think about what I'm working on rather than what I want to be thinking about.

Good point. I used to practice yoga, but never got into a routine. I really enjoy physical activity, and it would probably be a very good way to relax. I wish I could afford classes.



Well, I have severe insomnia. So I was trying meditation to sleep. And I was really upset about the noises in my room, and all of the distractions that affect me because of my sensory issues. I have extreme tactile sensitivities, olfactory sensitivities, and I'm sensitive to certain noises. I was lying on my back, and focused on the sound of a fan, I believe, in order to meditate.

I focused and told myself that the distracting and threatening sounds and tactile sensations were not threatening at all, and to just accept them. I just accepted all of the sensations that I felt, with no judgement of whether they were bad or good. They were just there. I didn't fight against all the sensory things that usually put me into a panic. So as I accepted them, I felt at peace and no longer felt overwhelmed or threatened. I fell asleep! It was great.

Since then, I have not been able to do it. But I'd be willing to try again.



Haha, at least I'm not the only one . I think I'm mentally hyperactive.

Have you retracted a projection lately? When I was in Jungian analysis (best thing I ever did for myself) - I can't remember what the projection was - anyway, with help from the analyst I brought it back inside myself where it belongs. And then everything went totally flat. No emotion, no feeling, nothing interesting, didn't want tickets to the Super Bowl, just flat blah. Seems to go on forever.

I'm telling you this on the off-chance that you might be doing the same thing, in which case, don't worry, just wait, it needs only time. One day you'll be right-side up all of a sudden, and more fully the human you are meant to be.

Unless I'm totally mistaken, in which case I apologize. But it was worth saying, just in case.

I was diagnosed with depression and I was given prozac/fleuoxitine. My mother has been adamant that I do not take my medication because she thinks that the medication will ruin me, I would say I am now worse without them.

This gave me a chuckle! XD

Oh I do not like to hear that! I think you should ask her to go to a psychiatrist appointment with you. Maybe you can get her to support the treatment plan.

Good luck.

My ideas & thoughts are mine but my head is empty at times cuz I just zone-out & daydream without really thinking about much at times.
