Brain Dump Reflection


It was an eye opening experience, writing that brain dump.  It was extremely therapeutic.  It was like flushing all of the toxins out and leaving myself with a blank slate.  I just wrote and wrote until I felt a little empty, in a good way.  Part of the reason I take medication is to quiet my brain down, take the edge off. I have so many thoughts, anxieties, worries, daydreams, fantasies floating around my head at all times of the day.  It is extremely difficult to concentrate and keep my head above water.  I had no idea how severe it was until I starting taking something to tame my brain, so to say.  My little Brain Dump doesn't even nick the surface, but it does make a pretty pattern.  

I noticed that I started out with relatively good spelling and grammar, but it deteriorated quickly, sometimes almost incomprehensible.  I like that.  Just like the mind.  Just like feelings.  I was just typing so quickly, trying to get the words out as they passed through my mind cavity.  I began at my normal speed of typing, but soon I was typing faster than I ever have.  Thinking/writing that all down honestly took me maybe five minutes.  I was just whizzing through thoughts and sentences.  Reading it back over, in the short amount of time, I actually didn't remember some of the things I jotted down and I was even a bit surprised by some of the items I mentioned.  

It's all very interesting, and it's all so very human.
