**[images in your head] Are these images frightening, you're awake...like a nightmare in your head but you ARE awake? How long do they last? How do you make them stop?**
These may be PTSD "flashbacks". I had them. They're terrifying.
>i mean on occasion but it doesn't bother me as much because I know its the OCD....>use your imagination (I'd really rather not, sorry). But that's why we're all here...mental health problems that were all trying to treat.
True
>its funny because (everyone?) on here is nice, helpful, and seem "normal." It's a funny thing ain't it? We're over here wishing, hoping, begging that some drug will take away the pain of our mental state of being but yet we are still able to express ourselves in a normal way.
Not always for me. Like right now I'm feeling some nasty Pristiq w/d's. I only post when I'm up to it. Sometimes I'm not.
>I guess thats just food for thought. That "we" are not our minds.
We're not?
>If you ever want to pick up a book that I found very interesting pick up The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. His whole philosophy is that our minds is not our true selves... our minds are a simple false sense of self, or ego, as he puts it. And the more we (being as he calls it) identify with our ego or mind, the more we are feeding the ego.
Interesting.
Have you gained insight applicable to your condition(s) from it? Has it helped you?
The auther sounds familiar.
