What can be said about your mind?

It's quick, it's logical. It's obsessed with itself, and is leech-like in its endeavours.

Easily distracted, impatient, lenient.

it's a terrible thing

It's obsessed easily and doubtful and greedy for attention and spinning out of control.

Impulsive, sensitive, immature at times and throbbing. I have a bad headache.

I'm sure it will turn up somewhere......

I am, in fact, controlling and obsessive. I'm also kind and caring, smart, sharp-tongued, and funny. Probably lots of other things, too.

My mind has shrunk and wow it is gone into space like far out

> Easily distracted, impatient, lenient.

Linda as they say : The mind is a terrible thing to waste

A sad thing to waste Bill

I can feel my memory, organizational skills slipping. After an accident 18 years ago, I was told I had been depressed for 30 years, I was also told I had OCD. I had post trauma at that time.

My mother had dementia, died at 79....truly it is horrible to witness....a living death.

That's why I do 15 things at a time. None of my mind goes to waste, then. It all ends up getting used in some way.

Analytical

I am out of it!

A bit schizo

i dunno...my mind is a little bit weird, i guess. my mind knows more than i shall ever say, which is fine for all would say i'm crazy anyway.

> I'm sure it will turn up somewhere......


i saw it once. it was over there w/ mine. so, if i see yours again, i'll send it your way...and if you happen to see mine somewhere over there, tell it to go home.

as long as it's not 'wasted'

...away again in margaritaville?

Some people claim that theres a woman to blame

That I'm very creative.

I'm an "extreme introvert." Happiest when alone, a true hermit-type. Impatient and easily distracted also. Obsessive.

I will.... tho, I'm not sure what a "mind" looks like... I think that may be my problem with my own.

It's in pretty good working order.

i know...it's my own damn fault

yeah i know, i didn't exactly catch the best of glimpses...too quick and it appears they shapeshift or something

Who is saying it? The persons close to me, far from me or the little voices in my head?

Yes great thinking now i wonder why I did not think of this??? My poor mind is spinning out of control

I could go on for days. Busy, creative, contemplative, thorough, ingenuitive. Sometimes I have the fairy-tale landscape thing going, at other times it's sci-fi or political utopia.

My mind fractals out in non-linear fashion, like a kaleidoscopic associative labyrinthe, within, or to form meta-structures which relate everything in some form of categorical process map.

A lot of that can be steered by how you define yourself. I was worse in those respects when I let that be my self definition. Confusion and distraction I've come to learn is a split-second choice. OCD is a different matter. The mind wants to be securely anchored in some process flow, but the mind's editor isn't firmly grounded to see that some menial process has just become another abstract distraction from worldly engagement. OCD can free the mind for contemplation, essentially operating on auto-pilot. It's more problematic when it's tied into security. 'The towels have to be folded just so'. That too is just evidence that you don't have the energy to be more interactively grounded and deal with situations which don't match those in your head already.

I get obsessive thoughts from time to time.

I do believe OCD is hereditary,...two of my children have been diagnosed, but believe all of them have it to a degree, nothing to interfere with their lives. One daughter is articulate on detail, organization, but is losing that ability to organize.. One daughter is extremely punctual and articulate on detail. All have dealt with some depression. I guess they're no different than many people today. The mind is a beautiful thing.

Thank you Kristal Rose.

It is very detail-oriented.

You probably know what I mean then about having that manic energy to be spontaneously engaged, or depressively needing to get focused by doing trivial repetitive things. I was never punctual though.

I'm told I'm amazingly organized, but it's only because I compensate for lack of clarity by engineering organizational aids like lists and color coding. Most of my OCPD is spent on organizing when I'm not sure what to work on next.

This sounds familiar Kristal Rose. You sound like my daughter, I've been told by people she's extremely organized. What you described about yourself, is my daughter. My son at 11 years old, (he's now 46 years) used to wash his hands constantly. I just thought I had a clean kid. Now I see his symptoms of the OCD.

Have you ever been tested on food allergies?. I tested my children...they had hypoglycemia, and they had food allergies to name a few....wheat, corn, oranges..some other grains, but can't remember. This may account for my sons alcohol issue....grain allergies.

Take care, I wish you well.

I often have suspicions of food allergies causing my long sleep at times. I don't think it's grain allergies. I can tell from your photo there's a family propensity for alcoholism, characterized by a gruff exterior and recessive interior. You always stayed a fighter. When one's not up to the fight in those circumstances, being washed away alleviates the guilt of not matching outward character. I'm guessing he's a bit more sullen than you, lean and gaunt till recently but with a strong chest, probably had a blondish beard 15 years ago (curling hair between blond and brown, dark blue/brn eyes), has a wry humor, and only stands for seriousness when he's serious. Always quietly scans groups from the perimeter with a suspicious eagle eye. Prefers to work but more hangs out than actually working. Adamant about his elaborate opinions, which he either keeps quiet about or raves about, but not much between. Anything close?

I suggest you buy the book "Eat Right for (4) Your Type" by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. In the book it says Type O people have allergies to Wheat, corn, + the same foods the allergy doctor told me my sons were allergic.. My husband's family, in the men, have alcohol problems. My husband hasn't drank since 1965. I didn't have but one, an aunt. I realize alcoholism is a disease.

Hard to tell about your description of my son, as I don't see him often, but I do know him as described below.

I've never been told I have a gruff exterior, actually quite the opposite, I'm a softie, but as you say, perhaps a recessive interior...I hold things in. I am tough when I need to be. As adults, I don't see my one son very often because of distance, but the other I see fairly often. My son, that washed his hands alot when young, of course stopped about 12 years old. Both my sons took my personality, are gregarious, loves people. They took, however, from my husband, a bit of a temper, but exhibit rarely.. Both my sons can be serious, when need be. Both sons are blond, light blue eyes, (my husband and I have brunette hair, brown eyes) they have strong builds, now have an extra few lbs. however...they're 44, and 45 years. Both have a good sense of humor. Both are honorable, strong on family. Both my sons are concrete truck drivers, both have good work ethic..

Considering I saw blond, son of brunettes, I figure I saw one. Wasn't looking for two.

Are those types blood types? I'm A+ blood, and eat what comes naturally, which is fruit, dairy, and nuts. ..lots of exotic meals resembling nachos with the works, or Indian jambalayas. As far as I can figure, I eat fairly healthy unless I'm allergic to something, except for all the coffee and sugar.

Yes, I have two sons, both very similar, and both tested as having the same allergies. But, only one was diagnosed with OCD, (washed his hands too often) but the other I know has OCD, but the OCD issue has not interfered with work, both have had, or have depression.

Yes, those types are blood types. Krystal Rose, I truly suggest you buy the book. I know a well known Herbal company "Nature Sunshine" recommends people to follow the blood type diet.

A type A person should be vegetarian according to the book. Can eat very small amounts of poultry/seafood, if at all... no beef, because Type A's don't produce very much hydrochloric acid. We attain B12 from meats, but A's shouldn't eat meat.. The book tells about foods, tested under the microscope that fit blood types. Food that we are allergic or we shouldn't eat, our blood thickens, becomes "sticky". My mother was, and my one daughter, and sister are A+. The last few years of my mother's life I had to give her Vitamin B12 shots because of pernicious anemia. I suggested to my daughter and sister to take sublingual B12 tabs. B12 is important for thinking processes.

In the book it talks of health risks, tells what supplements to take, gives an exercise plan, talks of personalities. Type A's should not do heavy exercising, (lucky stiffs) should do yoga, golf, tai chi, walking etc....does something to their nerve energy, if they exercise too heavily, unlike Type O's that need to exercise a minimum of one hour a day, 6 days a week.

Interesting book.

sounds like.

It's twisted.

it's definately me

i obsess over bills

It's wonderful.
