Head Chatter and Real Matter

This is what I’ve realized.

I’ve got to be able to distinguish between what is head chatter and real matter. By that I mean that things that might weigh on me but were gleened from head chatter, doesn’t matter. What matters is real matter, the actual interaction with the outside world.

I still get head chatter daily sometimes. I just see it for what it is, take from it what I want, and move on to more real matter stuff like is my job done and have I done it well?

i am good at discerning thoughts from what i hear and see in real life but i suspect the medication has something to do with that.

Wish I had an answer as I’m still unsure of what is real and what is irrational. I guess that’s where I’m at though sort of still questioning my sanity and my intelligence. Helps to get a sounding block on some of them though ie someone you trust or a therapist etc.

@mussel - very nice post. It sounds like your in a very strong frame of mind.

It took me a very long time to come to that realization.

There are times I can ignore the head chatter. It’s taken a lot of work and therapy and classes… even now I get thrown and find myself believing what my head chatter says…

But it’s how fast I get past it… letting it flow through the head like distant traffic noise and not getting caught up in it. That is my key to over coming it.

my voices are full of ■■■■ anyway so not believing in what they say is quite easy, they’ve proven time and time again that they are just responding to triggers. telepathy? not at all. i was supposed to win the lottery…did it happen? nope. i’m supposed to be the inventor of free energy…yawn, my parents and family were clones…yeah right…just one bit of bollox after another…just triggers and voices carrying out those commands. that’s all it is.

thanks. I found some humor in the very strong frame of mind comment too. It was a state of mind alright though :smile:

I’m putting this one aside to keep.
