I was wondering if anyone else thought this was sort of a staple of people with mental illness..I guess because of the mental part.
I find that I am very much stuck in my head. Everything in there is more important than what's around me. There is a constant dialogue in my head, I never stop talking in there. There's thoughts, ideas, images, always going. It's very difficult to concentrate or sleep because my thoughts are always going. I also "zone out" a lot and don't realize I'm thinking so hard till something snaps me back into reality. Usually my boyfriend saying "what's wrong?". I've always been this way and other people I've met with mental illness seem to be the same way. I don't think what's going on my head is more FUN than the world around me..since a lot of it can be painful, irrational and anxiety provoking..but it's certainly more interesting.

Does anyone else find this with their mental illness?
