People run around screaming inside your brain as it catches on fire.
 
Do you ever organize things inside your brain? Or do you just let them come and go? Are you the type of person who fails at keeping your brain from overloading? Does it feel as if your brain has a mind all it's own?

I always feel like my brain is it's on person, as silly as that sounds. My brain is the must fucked up thing on this planet. 8D I'm also not very good at organizing my thoughts or anything that goes into my brain much either. It usually comes and goes rather quickly, which leads to short term memory loss. X_x

My mind is quite interesting to say the least. It's like a filing cabinet or a computer folder in a bunch of folders. It goes through everything pretty fast, but when it's nothing important that I need to know. When I am troubled I think too fast without giving much thought and when I don't need to think at all like when I am relaxing I think too much.

My mind is a mangled mess to say the least

My mind is wonderful. Why? Logical redundancy. I will spend a bit more thinking about something basic than anyone else would because my brain is thinking a lot more fully about the action than others would, and with reasoning/philosophy I could spend days or even a week or two sorting it out. My downfall is that my communication isn't the greatest – my ideas are all solid because of how intensively my brain works out problems.

My brain is a constant whirl of thought, I can never make it slow down or stop. That's why I can't sleep very well for example.

I daydream a lot. I don't organise things in my brain consciously. I can generally recall things when I have a good understanding of them, otherwise I can be very bad at remembering. My brain has only one personality and that's me.

That's how mine is. It doesn't help that my ADHD medication seems to increase my thought process. :/ It makes it even more difficult for me to sleep properly.

My brain is very good at being excited when it needs to be, and being quiet when it needs to be. I've never had trouble with not being able to go to sleep because of my thoughts. I organise things inside my brain a lot but I'm able to do it very quickly, so it's never any trouble.

Of course, every once in a while, two parts of my brain conflict. For example, I'll be running, and I'll be tired, and one half will go "stop you're tired" while the other half will be saying "you reckon i'm going to put up with this you little shite, hit that gas pedal". But that doesn't happen very often, and I'm fairly sure it's normal.

Very rarely my brain stuffs up when I'm writing really quickly. I'll start writing the net word when I haven't finished the one before, and I'll miss out a random letter. But only for writing.

I don't thing nobody can press "stop" to his brain and don't think about anything... Everyone daydream or just zone out sometimes or a lot. We all have conversations with ourselve.

I think at what I'll think. Like, we think before we talk, I think before I think... and I don'T know how to explain that XD

"We are all trapped inside our own heads" is a quote I saw this week. This is fabulous. I always felled trapped inside me. I already thought I had like two person in my head, like I didn't know who I was. Well, I still don't know who I am really, but I don't have these "two me" anymore, well I don't think so. I miss the other half of me :(
(Sorry, late night thought, maybe I am not very clear XD We talk abut our heads. You can now imagine mine)

My mind never stops thinking. It's a roller coaster of positive and negative thoughts. A bunch of what ifs and crazy thoughts that I shouldn't even be thinking. Cursed OCD.

Bellsprout January 20th, 2015 8:16 PM

I am almost always constantly day dreaming. Sometimes I notice I don't even pay attention to people, but I've worked on that lol. I quickly jump from thought to thought, but I wouldn't say they're not organized. When I'm really high I think about multiple things at the same time yet they're separate, it's kind of hard to explain. I usually can't focus on people talking when it's happening.

but anyways basically I just think away, but I would think that's fairly normal

Sonata January 20th, 2015 8:53 PM

I have an overactive mind. If I let something just go or even just wrote it down to think about later I would just sit and think about it nonstop and it would bother me until something else popped up. I actually don't allow myself to stay up too late anymore especially when I'm alone because I start to talk to myself and pace around the house and then an hour has gone by and I've had an entire conversation with myself. I worry about me.

Arylett Charnoa January 21st, 2015 10:13 AM

My brain often feels like a beast that is entirely separate from the rest of me. At least, certain portions of it do. It's very complex and there's constant battles between nagging negative thoughts and positive thoughts. I find everyday a struggle for my sanity to survive. It's not really an overexaggeration. If I hadn't become accustomed to this chaos, then I'd probably just have completely lost it by now.

It's so automatic, these negative thoughts, that I don't understand how others really exist without them. It makes no sense to me to have a mind that doesn't constantly tell you every error and every mistake that could occur from an action. And make every decision you make seem wrong. It's screaming at me right now, in fact. I should be doing this, I should be doing that. Time is being wasted. Etc.

Because of these thoughts, my mind is rather disorganized. I deal with it by posting in my Tumblr in lengthy walls of text. It usually involves a fair bit of repetition, but it is very useful as it helps me to resolve certain conflicts and make sense of what exactly is going on. I often have epiphanies and make connections as I'm writing. Sometimes I get lazy though, and it all starts to build up... and that's when I typically have a mental breakdown. It takes several months to happen. But it will surely happen if I don't keep maintenance on the disorganized kudzu of my brain.

...Speaking of which, I should probably go write something today. I think I will do a quick write-up now.

Please tell me this is where the title came from.

I really like that quote as I've always found it thought-provoking. It's interesting to think about.

I don't think anyone's brain has a mind of its own. One would only experience cognitive dissonance over their conceptions of how the brain functions versus how it actually does.

Not trying to insult you, but you write it as if you have some mental disorder...

I need constant sound to stop myself from thinking. I think constantly about everything, and I have a hard time stopping myself. It's very tiring to keep my thoughts in check constantly. I don't know if other people do this, but my visual thoughts don't have to line up with my audial thoughts. By which I mean that I can think about an argument I had yesterday in words, while I think about a story I have in my head in pictures. If I don't pay attention, they won't match up, and it can drive me crazy. I have to pay a lot of attention to make them match, and as I said it's very tiring. It takes a lot of energy though, and it's hard to do when trying to sleep, so I need sound to focus on. Luckily I have Pfeiffer now, which makes my very tired constantly, which skips that step.

This post is so accurate, because I'm someone who also isn't very organized and quickly changes thoughts. In fact I find myself thinking about too much at once.

That is because I do. But then again, a thread like this makes a lot of us sound like we have mental disorders.

My brain works at uncontrollable speeds, and it makes it difficult for me to concentrate on any one thing at a time. At any given point, I'm got 3 or more thoughts going on in my head, as well as some random background music that never ends. But because of this, my brain can easily find connections between two or more things putting in any effort.

That can come in handy at times, but at other times can be pretty annoying. Problem solving becomes easy, because I can see many different possibilities all at once. But for things that require a more singular focus (Such as writing this post) I cannot stop my mind from wandering, so it takes me ages to get it done.

Right now I'm thinking about an appointment I have in an hour, thoughts of what extraterrestrial life would be like on a distant planet, Final Fantasy 6 (The game me and my girlfriend are playing through currently), and then there's this post, which is difficult to right with all that going on in this crazy head of mine. Oh, and let's not music from Pokemon playing in my head as well.

Numerous times I've lost track of what I was typing and had to read what I wrote before just to keep up. No matter how hard I try to focus on something like this, it just doesn't work.
