Nothing Much

Well, just got back from the head shrinkers office.

Figured out that if I make a list of the things I want to talk to her about, that I can drive home without kicking myself for forgetting things I thought important enough to tell her.

I actually did forget something, but there wouldn't have been enough time to discuss it anyway.

List making should be an essential skill for anyone with attentional issues.

I'd still be chasing my tail if I hadn't of figured it… Continue

Writing Share #1



I am trying to write more when I MD, so at least I get something productive out of it all. Here is a snippet from what I was able to write today:

A small girl of 4 years danced on the edge of reality. As she crossed the stone bridge over Canteur creek, her mind made the wilting poppies brighten to vivid crimson. The shade from the trees scattered light on the creek below and a strong breeze blew from the south, ruffling leaves and muffling the sound of the…

Day 3- How Much Is Too Much?

For anyone, trying to stop MDing or curb it...  the question we ask ourselves is when does DDing  turn into MD.  How much is too much? Should I not DD at all because it could lead to MD?   Can I still DD but try to put limits on it?  Am I capable of putting limits on it or does it become a slippery slope? Should I just avoid my favorite MD scenarios that lead to bingeing where I daydream for hours on end? How do I manage this?   

 Dr. Eli Somér who first proposed the phrase,…

In a parked car. Other stuff, too.

There's this thing I notice I often do- when I've driven somewhere, usually back home, and am in not hurry, I will sit there and DD for a bit. It's not caused any trouble or anything, though I wonder if anyone's noticed that sometimes there's a large time lapse between the car pulling up and the door opening.

A while back, I house-sat for a few days, and I spent a lot of time DDing, and just lazing around, doing jackall, but I did have to drive a few times. One of those times when I…

I try not to think about it…

Day Two- Creative Urges

I haven't really had any major withdrawals from MD, yet.  I noticed that I am having creative urges. For example, I was walking my son to daycare and I looked intently at a tree and the grooves in its bark - they looked like wrinkles - I wanted to take out a pad and just draw every indentation, curve, valley, peak, shading of the bark of the tree.  I have never taken an art or drawing class.  I think I may just do that one day- just sit by a tree and draw it. Maybe take a drawing class.

The "little one"

Man, I tell ya what. 

I couldn't even post the last blog I wrote out.

I was so depressed I couldn't even see straight. I'm talking the whole experience of misery, sans the cravings for my favorite flavor of gun oil.

I just couldn't bring myself to expose that side of me to anyone.



This is the second weekend in a row that I've had the excrement kicked out of me by the meds. ( or at least I think that's what's doing it)

Just horrific rapid cycles of inexplicable… Continue

A Dream Within a Dream- Edgar Allan Poe

I found this poem today and I really like it :)

A Dream Within A Dream- Edgar Allan Poe

"Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow-

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the…

Day One

I thought I would experiment for the next thirty days and do my best to not MD. Today, there was no MD.  It was difficult as I was walking around the park with my son in his stroller and I wanted to daydream.  Instead, I felt the hot scorching sun on my face and watched other parents with their kids. My son is only 22 months but he always wants to try  the playground equipment that is really for older kids. Really admire his adventurous spirit and his confidence.   I normally now would turn…

Feeling Odd

Well, life kinda sucks after an episode like the one I had on Friday.

Still kind of shook up about it.



Wifey even told me that she had to wake me up in the middle of the night because I was "crying like a little kid" (not the first time it's happened).  

I might "literally" be a "cult of personality".

Wish my therapist would crap or get off the pot on this one, its getting kind of creepy in here.



It may be that my boss will have to separate my work partner… Continue

What the Deuce?

Sleep.

I think sleep will be will be the balance between ELL and the real world.

I think food too. 

Those of us who struggle with our minds are sensitive to the things we put in our bodies. Especially the crap we tend to stuff our gullets with. 



But I'll focus on mastering a strict sleeping schedule first.

Taking on too many projects usually results in a celebration my un- birthday with Alice and the gang.



Yesterday it was my turn to have "cranky… Continue

Confession & Acceptance

I am a maladaptive daydreamer.  My first memory of an all-consuming day dream session was when I was 12 years old. I remember I locked myself in my room for an entire Saturday. I told my parents I was reading or doing homework. But I was actually just sitting there, in an alternate reality.  I remember getting hungry and sweating from how warm my room was, but I just sat there, unable to pull myself out of my alternate reality. I still remember what the daydream was about, but it's far too…

Binge

I am coming off of a daydream binge. I had a fight with my husband the other day and it sent me into a binge. Sometimes he can say some real hurtful things. I am trying to come out if the binge. MD can be like a black hole that keeps sucking me in. I feel safe in the black hole. I can easily go to MD and feel better and comforted.

Watch cartoons when you feel down

I'm staying in front of my pc right now and I'm enjoying old cartoons.

Being a 90s kid, I only watch real cartoons, if you know what I mean. Actually I think that this whole " brain refresh " thing wouldn't work with today's cartoons ( you have to be handicapped to like them, but that's another story ). 

Cartoons will take you back to your childhood, but it's actually more than that: they will transport you to a universe in which everything can be simple, the world has…

First Two Days of High School! =D

Thursday the fifteenth was my first day of high school and 9th grade and I was a Freshman! All summer I was so excited about high school and hardly nervous at all...until the night before. The night before the first day, I was very, very nervous and had trouble sleeping. Eventually though, I got to sleep and woke up and got ready for my first day. 

The bus was beyond crowded. Lots of Freshman had to sit three to a seat, including me. It wasn't too pleasant. The unlucky people…

I went to a Highly Sensitive Person meet-up.

Ok, so for those who don't know I have SERIOUS social problems.  I pretty much can't get along with anyone, in person or on-line.  It's a huge part of the reason I'm on Disability.  I couldn't get along with anyone in an office environment or even online working from home.  Plus, I have a million sensitivities to sounds, light, profanity, touch, taste, etc which make it very hard to enjoy hanging out with people.  I took a big step today.  I joined a Highly Sensitive Person group on…

" Sims 2 Vs. Life " or What have I learned from playing Sims 2

  1. Time goes by very fast.

 

My virtual Sim named Tony was an adult when I started to play the game and now he will become old in just 5 virtual days. Well, he had a successful career, many lovers and a great son, so Tony lived his life quite well.

 

Anyway, this life is very short. I mean the real life. Every virtual reality is just a reflection of our real reality.

 

Take a few minutes and remember the times when you were a kid, playing…

Thinking of "K"

Was feeling odd yesterday. There were times I felt good, and well?.... times not so good.



Still struggling with the budget. I mean, it's a vast improvement just to be able to say I'm struggling with a budget, but I'm still fussing and worrying myself over it.

Kinda makes me gassy.



My few ventures outside ELL in the dawn of my adulthood were rewarded with confusion, anxiety, and frustration, so the acquisition of money management skills were thwarted by misery and… Continue

What is your goal on day dreaming?

My goal on daydreaming is to let go of daydreaming. Letting go of daydreaming is when you stop daydreaming and you stop thinking about daydreaming.I am ready to stop daydreaming ,however that left me with having to make friends and being social. And I am terrified of speaking to anyone ,and everyone.I have to worst social skills. I have to think about my words before i say them over and over in my head. I do not know if this helps or not. I am left with only one option : make friends. I know…
