I'm so often overwhelmed, lost in the swirl of my head. Can't even identify it all. Anxiety? Anger, irritation, confusion, guilt.
Had a moment of clarity (mania?) and thought I could learn to see it all and not get caught. Identify *all* the thought trains and straighten them out. Do smart cognitive therapy stuff on each and every one of them.
Nice idea. It faded. Today, the usual murk of conflicting mess.

I am no longer feeling severely depressed...only for the past 2 days......anry thoughts not as severe, but they came back this morning. Not sure what happened, but perhaps venting, particicpating on message boards, and reading Feeling Good by David Burns helped. Never did the written exercises...just info and methods swirling around in my head. As I type, the experiences of the bullies and abusive people came back in my mind. For the past 3 days I have played SimGolf...maybe my mind was just numbed by a mindless computer game. 12-16 years ago, I wish I had identified my feelings...didn't even know I had feelings...just like you, swirls of emotions and mntal violence and turmoil. Not sure I even want to get better becasue what would I do then?

It's not hard to see your mind at all. Just do like me - misplace it. If you have ADD, you'll always be misplacing it with almost everything else in your life. Then when you find it again, take a good long look at it to make sure it really is yours (for those times when you're hanging out with other ADD firends). Maybe even take a pix of it so you can have it on record if you lose it in a public spot - you know, for those posters people put up saying "LOST - have you seen..."
In all seriousness, what gets to me the most is this mix-up of dream memory & real life memory. When under stress, my dreams become very vivid. They're about mundane matters, often enough, but my mind seems to think they're real life occurances. I have trouble telling the diff. I often ask my son "Did such 'n such really happen, or is it one of my dreams?" Very frustrating.

Maybe we need a brain-leash to keep our minds from wandering off alone. Really I'd be happy if mine would go off by itself now and then and give me some peace. G'wan brain, get outside and play in the yard with the other disembodied organs. I think I see your buddy Mr liver out there, and there's johnny pinklung
