What Are You Thinking?

[The Albatross]

I'm thinking that people that abuse an animal need to get an ass whooping from me personally. But I'm biased.

I am thinking that I am making progress. I am thinking I am being more honest with myself.

 

[Lionheart]

I am thinking about my father who passed away in 2012, his life and the seeming futility of it all. I am thinking that since it is all temporary, what do I want to accomplish while I am still alive? Will my life and my passing mean anything to anyone? What's it all for?.....etc.

I am thinking there are more questions than answers in this life.

You being you is important Lionheart. Your kindness, realness, honesty and heartfulness inspire and strengthen others. That is depressive thinking my friend. It is not you thinking. You contribute so much in so many ways. Be kind to yourself my friend, the fear of the loss of a parent is hard, and when it is such complicated relationship, it is harder still.

Compassionate mindfulness my friend, if you can. Otherwise don't beat yourself up.

I am thinking not to take many things at the same time. Right now I have not reached that strong point where I would be able to manage multiple things to take care simultaneously.

I'm thinking it makes me so angry and annoyed and frustrated that due to distorted thoughts I end up taking so many things so personally. It happens even though I know somehow in the back of my head that logically that not everything has something to do with me.

It's a battle in my head that becomes obsessive cyclical thinking that makes me very anxious. I end up feeling desperate for relief. It makes me feel like I'm drowning. Everything and every thought becomes a fight to convince PTSD to let go of what it thinks it sees so that the whole cycle can stop.

And if I'm not able to slow it down I either end up having an anxiety attack or a flashback. It's so hard when you can't trust your own thoughts. And it's even more confusing when you can't tell hypervigilance from your "gut".

 

[Nighthawk]

@BlackbirdSinging you said just about exactly what I was thinking

 

[Nighthawk]

Also thinking I shouldnt react this way. After all the work I have done I still choose to shut down as it is the only bearable option.

 

[Lionheart]

I am thinking a lot about life and death and the possible afterlife. It seems to be the main theme of a lot of my thinking lately. I suppose I am trying to come to terms with my mortality.

I am thinking that getting a full time job will be very good for me. Right now I have too much time to think about things and working would cause me to be busy so I would not think so much.

I am thinking that doing body work in the form of the Alexander Technique released a lot yesterday and it was a very emotional afternoon.

 

[Karen12]

I'm thinking about Thanksgiving dinner recipes.
