everything is so blended together that it is hard to make sense of anything I am thinking..... even though there isn't any 'clear' thing I am thinking. Does anyone else have that problem? You sit there in silence, not really thinking but you "are" in fact thinking, but you cannot determine Exactly what you are thinking about? That really sucks.

Nerves are as pancakes on the griddle ... all flat and gooey then puffed up ready to explode. They are not the good tasting, fruit topped cakes either... LOL

Feeling very sick to my stomach and sad

I get like that when I become very very upset by something, but can't really articulate what is bothering me.

For me, I just kinda stare and tolerate the noise in my brain. It's an awful feeling.

I think your mind/heart/body is likely reacting to something. It might just be a waiting game before it differentiates into something that you can talk about with words.

I found that scribbling, doodling or writing helps me in those times. I won't even make a picture or a complete sentence...lol. But later when I look at the words and lines I can kind of piece together what I was feeling. (sometimes!)

Hey, yep this has happened me before in sessions and I find it very frustrating as I usually leave feeling very disappointed that i couldnt use the time better. It's one of the reasons I use my journal, to try and remember what i need or want to talk about.

THanks everyone, everything you all have mentioned is EXACTLY what is still like for me this morning. That happened at a few of my therapy sessions Dizgirl and it is dissapointed. Have a journal and it has helped thank you all so much.

Surely, something has to come about with this. lol

So sorry you are feeling like this!

I feel like this almost daily....and have for the better part of my life. for me I always have thought it was my anxiety.That I have so much going on in my head I can't figure out what exactly it is i'm thinking or feeling. everything in my head is jumbled and running into each other. sometimes it almost feels blank, but I know it's not. I know the thoughts are there I just can't cherry pick them out and verbalize it.

Hopefully your mood isn't as chronic as mine! I hope you feel better!

That is exactly what it's like. You would figure that our minds could make clear sense out of the thoughtsbeing thought...guess not.

Again, exactly....blank! tHAT is so frustrating, verbalizing it is probably one of the hardest things to do because it has a tendancy to upset you when you can't even express how you are feeling! I have started painting again, and I do a lot of 'mood' paintings. It scares me though because none of the panting are bright, they are dark colors and eery LOL.

Hopefully your mood isn't as chronic as mine! I hope you feel better!

I hope you can get through this day with a little more ease than yesterday Yes, my mood is very chronic, but no idea if it is as bad as yours, but it sucks none-the-less. LOL Will be thinking of you today

Sometimes my mind is like that too, a lot of thinking but nothing I can pull out to focus on because it's so melded and welded together, so interwoven.
Or like scrambled eggs.......can't separate out the yolk from the white anymore!
I find it disconcerting, too......
