It's a Scary World Inside My Head

I am one of those people who need to keep busy at all times.

Not that I enjoy being busy. I need to keep busy to protect myself from what's inside my head.

There is this  very frightening scary world inside my head. There are places, characters and all sort of things that come out when I'm not busy. Sometimes I even scare myself.

Hey, I never claimed that I was normal.

When the house is all quiet and the kids are off to school all I want to do is to sit on the sofa with a cup of my morning coffee and take a deep breath.....RELAX.....let my mind go blank just for few minutes.

Instead, I sit down, take a sip of my coffee, look outside the window into the orchard and......that's when it happens.

The voices in my head......and they go something like this:

"Oh man, look at that big ass bird on the fence. I hope he's not scoping out my rafters for a new home. I already have one family making it home up there. I tried to scare them. I send my kids on them, but they decided this is where they will lay their eggs, make noise, spread crap and shit on my siding."

"Seriously, why am I watching Steve Harvey Show. It's not that interesting and that Lavita or whatever is her name is one wheel away from trailer park".

"I should take a shower. Maybe I will wait till my exercise. Who am I kidding I am not going to exercise. I really should it makes me feel better."

"Look at Jack, he's so cute."

"This coffee is damn good. Mom doesn't like because it won't grow hair on your chest like her Euro brew. That stuff is deadly. Mr. Misery likes my coffee or maybe he's just saying it to make me feel better. Who cares, he can make his own coffee from now on."

"We need to finish this house. Looking at the insolation under the plastic is getting old and sort of depressing. Wonder if that's why I feel so depressed sometimes.Gross, there is a bug on the other side of the plastic. I have to tell Mr. Misery to remove him/her before putting up the drywall.I don't want to have little insect skeletons behind my walls. I have enough of them in my closet. Hahaha, I made a funny."

"I really should go and do something. This is not relaxing at all.Maybe I should try Yoga. Oh, yeah I tried that, but that older lady in the yoga class beside me kept farting and I kept losing my concentration."

So there you have it. This is what happens when I try to relax. Aren't you glad I keep myself busy?

I know my family is.

I get the same way. Whenever I have down time, just that cycle of bad thoughts keep coming and coming. I have found it is usually from issues I have not resolved in myself, and the best way to settle them would be to face them. Alone time is good. It is good to relax.

I can't get my mind to just STOP. Even when I try to go to sleep. All these random thoughts. It's a big reason why I often fall asleep to the tv instead because that way, I can at least pretend to be engrossed in the shows instead.

You are wonderful! That is ME, you are me, okay, I don't mean to freak you out, really...what I mean is I can't turn off my mind either. I don't know if I am 'hiding' from anything or just not content or what it is-I have been that way for a LONG time though. But I keep a running dialog in my head- it drives me crazy and on the rare occasion I open my mouth it then drives hubby crazy. And, to comment on the previous person, Shell, it's gotten so bad often I have to mute the TV- ha (mainly if I am working on something online), it interrupts my thoughts.
Oh dear, I have shared too much- :)-
Thanks for your post- made me smile!

I find it hard to totally relax too. My mind is always racing. It's a little exhausting sometimes.

Closet jokes are always funny.

Pam said...

awesome. I think we all do that a little bit.

Steph said...

Oh I'm the same way! I end up having conversation with people that I want to tell off. Gets it out of my system but sometimes it cycles over and over again, which isn't good!

Loving that owl picture!

I tried yoga for the same reason but couldn't concentrate in the class either.. That is not because of someone, just meditation is not my thing. Than I joined to the pilates class. The trainer was talking so much and I loved it ;) If I feel down, I don't like being alone. Usually I call one of my friend or chat someone or make a plan with my best friend.
Lets chat next time:)

That sounds just like me! I have always wanted to meditate but have never been able to "quiet my mind" it always seems to make it worse. All the voices and thoughts just fly through my mind and I end up worrying more about stuff then reaching serenity!

You are cracking me up! If you recorded your thoughts every day, can you imagine what you'd find in there? ;)
