Anyone else wish they can just shut off their brains?

[Kain10th]

My brain keeps going and bringing up all the horrible things in my past, all the missed opportunities. I feel like a prisoner being held against my will by it.

anyone else feel similar?

 

[BPD Barbie]

Very much so, especially at night when trying to sleep. I just get stuck in an infinite loop of failure, heartache and pain.

 

[blivogade]

Wouldn't that be ideal.
Hence why sleep is the only peace.

 

[pete_x]

Actually no, which is kind of surprising me. From seeing ghosts to army's of floating disembodied heads etc., in spite of my plans, no. Which i'm not really understanding right now. Good question.

I'm an over-analytical person by nature which I think stems from my self-conscientiousness. I feel like I'm always being judged by others but I'm very judgemental too, I just internalize it. I keep remembering awkward things that happened over ten years ago and it makes me cringe almost to the point of madness.

 

[Nem]

Holy fuck, my brain magnifies my mistakes and regrets and I'm tortured 24/7 constantly
Peace/hugs

 

[Polly]

Yes why it's time to go

 

[Erase.myself]

Yes. My mind is a prison. As is my body.
Thankfully my mind will turn off tomorrow.

Hell yeah!!! If you mean permanently, then HHHHHEEELLLLLLL YEAHHHHH!!

 

[InTheAirTonight]

Benzos can do that temporarily

 

[Bct]

Me too, it's really sucks, especially since I have a hard time to get asleep yet it's very easy to wake up and can't sleep again

 

[woxihuanni]

I shut it off just fine, without drugs or anything. Mostly it's when I've just woken up that the realisation hits that everything is shit and I have to die, even though I'd love to live.

 

[SleeplessSoul]

Definitely! I used to get a breather sometimes when I would go to the theatre but I don't even get that anymore.

 

[dmsdnd18]

All I do is live in my head.. the past makes me depressed, the future makes me anxious. It's killing me

 

[MissKatrina]

Shut off brain and heart I am all for. :)
