I just stared blankly at the screen for something like ten minutes. I still cant think of anything worth while to say. I have this strange fear that my brain and its workings have started to atrophy from insufficient exercise. "You don't use it you lose it." sort of situation. Maybe I just need some mental stretching. The simple fact that I ( Read more... )

No don't worry. It's this weird power that lj has on everyone. You can have a post all planned out in your head but as soon as you sit down POOF gone. No more. It'll come back to you.

lol it does sound that way kinda...

always nice to hear from you, and without lj we would all be a little more insane. It's a way to see that all your friends are nuts too.

sorry if this question is dumb, but... bythebootstraps May 15 2005, 14:36:18 UTC

have you experienced any trauma lately? that could explain some things .

Not dumb at all. seraphil May 15 2005, 21:26:09 UTC

Well... I guess it might depend on your interpretation of trauma... To me, the possibility of getting blown up by a mortar attack or an improvised explosive device, is part of my job, but combine that with hostile desert heat 100 plus degrees, abrasive sand storms that bite at any exposed skin and would certainly blind me if I were without goggles, and other more interactive situations that occur here in Iraq that I can not write about from "This" location. Then you might have a situation that could be considered traumatic from someone point of view. But personally, no, I don't think that I have experienced any trauma lately. However I am aware that stress pressure is building up inside me.

it sounds like you are processing a lotof information, under stressful conditions. combine that with having seen or undergone traumatic events, no wonder your brain is reacting that way.
