I used to start a lot more projects than I did now, and while that wasn't exactly giving the brain a rest, it was keeping it busy so I didn't worry about other things.

Why do I need to give my brain a rest? I'm not sure if I even know how to, LOL. When I go for walks, even if I'm trying to relax, I'm usually thinking about stuff. I think the only way to give my brain a rest would be to take sedatives :gig

I'm going to get out and get some stuff done today, we're going to rent one of those drain cleaning machines to clean roots out of a sewer line that hasn't been used in a very long time. I was reading, and I found something that's interesting. Self-report scores for conscientiousness have a...

Good morning. I didn't sleep too soundly, since sleeping and night isn't my normal sleeping time, but hopefully it'll get better if I stay on this sleep pattern.

My sensitivity has been seen as very childish by some, but I am doubtful that it will go away. I'm not totally sure if it's due to part of my personality being stunted, or if I'm just hardwired to be more sensitive.

I agree, and I think that a friend asking me to do so shouldn't be asking that, although I think it is reasonable for them to not want me to get too upset with / snap at them.

I've always been sensitive, intense, and turbulent. I don't want to lose parts of who I am, even though they should maybe be managed in healthier ways.

I think I tend to feel pretty deeply, and then I get called "too sensitive" and get told that I should try to change to feel things more shallowly.

Maybe I'll be more able to take on new responsibilities once I am living with my dad. I used to take on more projects for sheer fun, but I still left a good amount unfinished. If I can get over this bad place that I'm in, I think I'll still try to pursue a career in research. But the sleep...

I'm still looking for a different therapist or psychologist, one who hopefully will be better, but it's proving a little challenging to find someone who both takes the insurance and is taking new patients.

Maybe, but it's still not my "ideal" vision of a career. Although it would probably be better than working a night shift at a low-wage job.

If she would have expressed pain related to losing me, it would have made me feel better. Not because I'd want to hurt a friend, even if they no longer want to be there for me, but because it'd make me feel like the loss wasn't one-sided.

But I still don't feel like I have too much of a right to be upset about where I am, because the last psychologist I saw said that I benefited from sleeping during the day, and not doing much with my life.

Maybe being sleep deprived is making me extra emotional, LOL. I hope I'm not being annoying by talking about my bad experiences a lot today. I guess it was really hard to be cut out of the life of someone who I really cared about, without them showing much, if any emotion, when they used to...

I'm so sorry that you lost your son. That has to be extremely difficult. Even the thought of going through that is painful to me, and I don't even have kids. :hugs The loss of my friend wasn't due to a death, but I think that it has to be this way. They made it pretty clear that they no...

Several years ago, I developed a bad habit of hitting my head pretty hard against things, like walls, when upset. I wonder if that may have caused me to experience any cognitive decline. I think I also have had depression from grief recently, I had a falling out with and lost someone who I was...

I think my depression has become crippling again, LOL. Having things be neater without trash around would lead to me feeling better, yet due to that drain of energy, I find it difficult to clean up.

I like doing things that achieve both tangible results and are mentally engaging. One without the other isn't as satisfying. Like when I planned the electrical system for the detached garage, and then worked with my dad to implement it. It runs things every day, like my chicken coop and my...

Being productive also makes me feel better, but I have a poor work ethic, and low energy / motivation. I wish that I could be more like how I was 6-8 years ago.

I drank a second can of red bull a while ago, LOL.
