maybe!

but this feels more like the knotting up that is caused by my brain and not my intestinal tract.

I had that this morning. I was tossing and turning. I was wondering why I was awake at 7am and then I realized it was because I was supposed to be at work in an hour. I hate that feeling. Thinking too much..

..and it's like, for a second you relax, but then you're like 'heeey remember that bad feeling?'

you won't get a moment of peace until you deal with everything in your own head, and that's always the FUN part!

I often just try convincing myself that everything has to be okay in the end. It just has to!

one of my many downfalls. keeps me awake at night, wakes me early, and ruins my day sometimes.

myra, you know exactly how i'm feeling.

the worst is a scenario that you replay over and over in your mind, thinking that somehow you are going to gain something different out of it, or figure out something...but really, the only way to do that is to approach it outside of your head.

You've got to tell yourself that you've probably come out on top of worse before.

I know it seems easier said than done to say looking at the BIG picture will help matters, but sometimes that's the only thing that gives me a second of peace when I feel that way.

yeah, i know what you mean by looking at the big picture.

it just sucks that it's the little details in life that pick at you so much all the time. most of the time, it's the details that you have hardly, if any, control over.

It's those little things that can drive you bonkers. And the things that are more important you never really worry about. till they suddenly hit you @ 4 pm on some idle tuesday when you least expect it. I think waaaay too much too.

miss.myra · #11 (**permalink**) Dec 18, 04

That's WHY it bothers us though! Because feeling out of control of a situation is fucking scary. When a situation is out of our hands, all we can do is over analyze the shit out of everything to pass the time.

I totally envy those bastards that can just sit back and relax when they realize a situation is out of their hands, I never ever got how they could do it.

nor could i.

i'm the guy that sits there and lets it stew in my brain, trying to use the same piece of film to see a different angle.

For me it depends on the situation. If it directly involves me and things I can influence or shape I will do what I can. If it's more of a "HEY!?! Why am I in this Basket and where are we going?!" I'll just go for the ride and put on my Helmet. :)
