I've been feeling impulsive. Maybe as a way to let myself off the hook. Dunno. It would be easy to give in to the thoughts.
Trying to choose something better though.
(Ehhh dunno about tagging here but hi @CheerBear I figured I'd take the leap to make a thread)

Just trying to choose better is a positive step @TheVorticon 👍

@TheVorticon Hi the Vortican always good to see you and great that you have made this thread :). 'impulsive' is my middle name without my meds that is. Even the word gets me stirred up internally .... I am a very impulsive creature I am not sure if it is the mi or whether it has always been with me. The mi has probably exacerbated those feelings. I try these days not to react to my inner feelings but sometimes they come out and I have to learn to lives with the consequences.....

It seems like it's a choice between do the thing, or do nothing - go to sleep to pass the time without doing the other thing.
A better thing doesn't seem doable. Or I don't want to do a better thing. I'm not sure.
Yeah it can definitely be hard not to react @Bunniekins .
It's hard to know what I want to choose or why I want to choose it.

@TheVorticon Hey The Vorticon so let me get this straight you have 3 things. One which you dont want to do, the other is to go to bed and do neither and then there is the remaining thing which you should do but dont for whatever reason. So you cannot move forward you are effectively stuck in one place.
I m in a similar situation. There is something I should do to get me out of the hole that I am in but I do nothing which continues the problem. So the thing continues out of control and I just stand there doing nothing.. I dont know what the answer is my friend ...... waiting for the right time to effectively force you to take action..... may be one. I havent been much help but as long as you know that you are not alone. Love peax

@TheVorticon Good to see you here. Mixed up feeling is something I think we all relate to. You matter, you are important. You are valued.....just as you are. Really hard realities for all of us, and often / always hard and impossible to believe.
Sending 💜💜💜💜💜

Always happy to respond/chat with you @TheVorticon I do clearly remember the 'olden' days when you used to visit the Octagonal room in your Lego corner and used to giggle at your latest Pokemon acquisitions. Having some knowledge of Pokemon from the kids at school helped me follow along with you 👍
Tag me anytime @TheVorticon - I may not always be able to relate to what your are dealing with but more than happy to listen
