This is my first 'here is my symptom, do you have it too?' thread.
Last night I lost 3 hours of sleep because I simply could not switch my brain off. Admittedly it could be down to nerves about today's driving theory exam but I did not spend 3 hours pondering over traffic signs believe me.
Does anyone else feel that their mind is constantly making connections and won't stop?
I see that a lot of social phobes are quite intelligent people and one explanation could be our over-active brains. This would also give rise to our over-analytical minds which in turn make us more suseptible to self critisism.
I have about 5 fat sketchbooks in front of me now full of words, dreams, pictures, paintings, project ideas, articles I like to re-read, stuff that inspires me...yadda yadda. Looking through it I can't decide what project to pick next or who to draw simply because my brain is drowning in a soup of ideas. It actually makes me feel queasy at times, disorientated. Like the way in which I change my dream job every 2 weeks and can't finish anything because I'm so excited about the next big project...
Also, has anyone here successfully managed to locate the OFF switch?
That gives me another idea for a painting....hmm....*strokes imaginary beard*
Tsk, damn, you see what I'm like!! :x
