My mind is my mixed emotions, my mashed up memories, my expansive dreams and my best intentions. My mind loves you.
My brain is my muted reactions, my misfired perceptions and my misguided impulses. My brain doesn’t understand you.
My mind knows my brain isn’t working right.
My brain doesn’t care what my mind thinks.
My mind has tried to help my brain…
My brain has tried to heal… and that strengthens my mind.
My mind wants my brain to be safe and protected
My brain doesn’t know how to make that happen
It’s so hard when my mind and my brain argue and then want to go their separate ways.

I can relate to this…
Really though the brain is pretty resilient.
In another decade you will have mastered this.

Have you ever had a moment where your brain comes up with an impulse to do something… and your mind knows it’s ridiculous… and the mind knows it’s not going to help… but No matter how illogical…
The brain wins.
I’ve had that happen this week. I’m glad it was something small… but it still made me feel irritated and put out about how it played out…
Then I felt sad about being irritated…
Hmmm… When it comes to hallucinations and thoughts all the time. When it comes to action though that is where I draw the line. My mind might be chaotic, obsessive, and all sort of other things. But my physical self doesn’t have to show any of this.

You are doing great in getting this behind you…
The sneaky brained thinking got me… like a hungry fish… my mind took the bait.
Oh those delusions… the ever present hook.

Yeah… I’m not so delusional any more. Still a lot hallucination but I also have periods of knowing that they aren’t going to happen. It’s a real tug of war kind of deal. So tiring, I just want to feel composed again.
