I feel ya AnnoyedGrunt, I sometimes go for days without showering, usually only doing so when I see how oily my hair gets, or how bad I smell. I always seemingly have an inner dialogue going on in my mind, an argument, where I say I need to do this or that, and then I argue back and forth, seemingly pushing through a wall of molasses to get my body in motion to do something, like cleaning my bedroom.

Some days I feel like my head is a multilane freeway during rush hour with a huge multicar pile-up in in all of the lanes. It's just chaotic and thoughts seemingly come and go and tangle up on one another. It's when the noise in my head becomes unbearable that I grab my journal and just write whatever it is that's in my head at the time, and get it out of there to clear up some of the congestion.

So yeah, I can so relate to what you're going through, and I want you to know you're not alone. I guess if you feel you're at the point where the wall is no longer molasses but brick and your mind is so congested it feels like it won't ever clear up, then maybe asking for help from someone like a therapist could help.

In the meantime, I'd try the journal idea. You don't have to write in it everyday or anything, just when you feel something needs to get out of your head. Journaling shouldn't be a chore, but something to look forward to, a way of releasing yourself and creating a feeling of peace.

I hope you feel better soon.
