Here's one man's story. by Lou Schuler, Men's Health; Illustration by Gary Baseman Step inside my brain. Careful—I just rehashed an argument I had 20 years ago. Here, wipe your shoes with this. No problem, it's just my unused Academy Award speech from when I used to write screenplays. What's that noise? It's a song I heard on the radio three days ago; it pops into my head whenever I need to think about something else. Could be worse. Last week it was the theme from Teletubbies. I spend a lot of time in here. It's a fun place, except when I need to get something done. Or when my wife needs to explain something important. Or when my kids...

Hey I thought this was kinda cool!!! I am a dreamer and often write down how i feel - it is a release for my brain to get these random thoughts off my mind - i posted this one somewhere else and it is something i had to get out of my head one day!!!
Sorry for mispellings, but when my mind is on a tangent - i often forget how to spell!! So here it is:
Life is long and life is short!! My mind is flawed, miles from perfect, yet i am a machine.
My mind grinds on and never tires, my body stalls often and sometimes falters!!
My mind - ahh - my mind - I feel the difference, I reap what it sows, I suffer its ebbs and flows!! I realize often how different my tide table of thoughts is from the reality around me.
I learn from my mistakes - AHHH yes - over and over again - too bad it seems to be the same mistakes!!
I am a live wire that has lost its connection, I am a computer whose circuits are infected.
I am a blast of energy that is driven by g-forces gone wild. I am a force of nature that has collided with the humanity that seeks to tame me and will always fail.
I am a moment in time and space that rips a hole in the Universal continuum and takes eons to dissappear.
I feel wrong, I feel diseased, I feel I am a mistake, I feel I can't ever please the world (but they can't live without me) I was brought into by a 1 in a million shot. I feel commpassionate, I feel free, I feel i am a step away from you and i am in the lead!!! I feel like ME - YUP, I feel very ADHD, but I am ME!!!
I have learned the hard way, maybe its the right way, maybe it is wrong. Maybe a higher power knew the path I was destined to follow and gave me a mind that was wired in high tension and wound so tight that i would forever be trying to untangle it and unciol all the blows of humanity.
I think of everything, yet my mind is blank. AHHHH well - aint life in my adhd brain great?

I think that is awesome, Lcdc. I think writing down your feelings is a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Great writing Lcdc! I do wish you had asked my permission first before writing about me though.  I really can identify. I used to write out my feelings and thoughts like that but I stopped doing it years ago. Maybe I should. I think it helped me then. |

That was really good lcdc! When I was in high school I used to write a lot of poetry- it was my way of zoning out. People could wave there hand in front of my face and I just was not there  (Math Teacher) She used to get so mad, they all used to believe that I was not applying myself and that I needed to buckle down! I used to hate that phrase 7 different schools used that phrase on most of my report cards. It would have been nice if they could have gotten me tested for some of these mental problems that are common now. If there was a grade for day dreaming I would have set the grade curve at an A+++ Some of the best dreams I had were in class.  |

Everytime I see the title of this thread I answer the question to myself - today the answer to what is in my head is a bunch of loose wires looking for a connection!!!

That was awesome lcdc. I very much like to write too. It's the only way sometimes that I am able to get through some really tough times in my life. I've got journals and journals full of stories, songs and poems. Do any of you draw or sing or play a musical instrument? Those are also great outlets for me also. It really helps sometimes to put on paper or in musical notes all the noise in my head. Once it's out we can try to untangle the mess and make sense out of it all.

YEs - I play the guitar, drums and recently took up the trombone. You are right - I have to get stuff out that way and writing also or my head would explode (or so I feel).
I think writing on these forums is also a way to get the "stuff" outta my head and it is probably just rambling sometimes - but you know I have to talk to adults sometimes about this stuff as there are none in the house. I don't talk about anything personal at work and the friends I hang with are ones I drink beer or hangout with to relax and there is only 2 that really know me well enough to broach any personal subjects!!!
