on edge...anybody?
I am finding that I can't keep busy enough to satisfy my mind.
When I stop to sit down on the couch and flip on the tv my energies 'amp up'
and my mind moves towards wanting to fill my face with food.
I used to ocassionally have cigarettes (over a decade ago) in my down time
and also I seem to gravitate towards having a drink (alcohol) in my downtime
to just deal with the empty space. Now I am seeing that I just need to find
activities to keep myself occupied. It's not really out of want, but perhaps it's turning into
a want. I need to give to myself and so I am, by just doing garbage on the internet and
such. I need to lose weight. I look terrible and so I will. I need to get fit.
Anyways, I am 'on edge' and I guess I just feel a little isolated or 'odd' because
I feel not normal for not being able to relax. But I have another friend who is like this
so maybe I shouldn't feel so odd and discouraged - I guess it just happens.

I sometimes cannot stand tv. I go through stages. I have found reading in total peace and quiet to be helpful.
I don’t know why but sometimes I’m agitated and other times I enjoy getting into a program.
I don't care to do the research, but I'll bet ya dollars to wishes that the inability to relax makes you Mister Normal, Personified. Humans are *just* naturally uptight critters. Too much relaxing can kill your average human.
Posilutely, I get edgy when I don't have enough to occupy my mind, even when I am insanely busy. Maybe especially then since I don't have time to sit around being bored. Gnarl, gnarl, gnash, gnash. I like keeping a variety of puzzles and such as an alternative to indulging in my most destructive habits.
Thanks guys!!!
