Losing my mind

Several have posted at times about losing their minds.

Sometimes, I wish I'd lose mine and get someone else's.

For me, when I think I's losing it, then I retreat a bit, put on comedies, veg out until the feeling passes. And it does.

Losing your mind is just a transient state of being, your mind will come back to you.

I'm a frizbee-ite. That means my mind went up on the roof and I can't get it down.

The point that it does come back is the horrifying factor. Personally, I try beating mine back with a stick. I want a new one. Went to Wal-Mart. Guess what? They don't sell everything.

I get your point baggyknees.
If we know it's a temporary state we can calm down and let the brain adjust. Thanks for the reminder.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
