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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
