Do you have a totally irrational side?

anniehoo

Got myself in an awful mood yesterday over a stupid comment a friend made. I knew i was being stupid but for whatever reason i didnt find it funny and was p!ssed off for ages afterwards. I knew i was being stupid, really stupid but the " looper" side of me wouldnt let it go. Took 2 hrs to stop mullin it over.

Am bridesmaid for a friends wedding in a few weeks and im nervous...yep nervous. Why? Havent a bloody clue, but i am. Think its the "everyone staring at me" thing. Nuts..totally! I just have to stand there in a dress and do nothing.

Stood on a chair yesterday that i knew had a dodgy leg, to change a light bulb. Yep,ye can guess what happened...chairs banjaxed and i whacked my arm off the wall.

The thing is the "rational side" knows what im at but it doesnt make a blind bit of difference. What irrational things have ye done or thought about and know its completely ridiculous but couldnt help it?

*yep im a Gemini/Taurus mix so might explain some of it

Danbo!

Yep, the missus

The fact that you believe in this kind of hocus-pocus lends credence to your argument of irrationality.

I'd say it has more to do with your ovaries to be honest.

I have a totally irrational side too,

Like for example my BF or friend might say or do something that slightly annoys me while I'm in bad mood. So I huff for awhile, then I overthink it. "I bet he thinking this...or going to do this etc etc" Within the space of an hour, I have brought this imaginary issue to a head (in my head) and have already argued with him, all IN MY HEAD. I come up with bizarre situations and conversations that he could say. By the time I have come around to talking to him for real, I'm so wound up it causes a fight!

So irrational, defo one of my weak points, but can't really help it!

i used to work for my parents..

when it came to holidays and pay it was in my head a battle... i used to psyche myself up for weeks imagining every excuse battle sentence phrase that they could use to put me off looking for a week off or a pay rise...

i'd then be in such a black-knot of anxiousness that when i'd ask i'd be nearly crying and they'd usually just say 'yeah that's grand....'
i'd feel so feckin let down that i didn't get the arguement i was looking for i'd be saying 'but but but....' and they'd just give me this pitying look and pat my head...

i have conversations in my head all the time... but they never go to plan..

my husband says this is cos he can think for himself....hah yeah..:D

What's all this dialectical sidesjibber-jabber?

You can't pan off the things that you pretend are "not you" on your "irrational side".

cbyrd

oh yes i can.... and i will.... and i do

i can blame anyone for anything in my head

it is never my fault

never

The natural thing to do when you have a problem is bury it deep inside your head so only the crazy voices can battle it out.

Then the next time you have a few drinks it will come sewing out in a sea of tears, snot & high pitched ramblings that no one understands.
