I have a lot of things that just haunt me.  Stupid things.  Things that it just doesn&#8217;t make sense that it bothers you, but it does.<\/p>\n<p>Washing dishes seems to be my trigger.  There&#8217;s something about it that causes me to remember an event in my life that I wish I never would have done.  Dam bottle brush.<\/p>\n<p>Logically I can think to myself &#8230; it&#8217;s in the past there&#8217;s nothing you can do about it.  Emotionally and psychologically the sting of regret permeates my every thought.  Absorbing it until I have to say out loud &#8230; shut up.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t &#8216;hear&#8217; voices &#8230; well let me rephrase that.  I don&#8217;t hear voices that i know are not inside my head.  To be even more clear &#8211; I don&#8217;t hear voices outside my head and think they are real.  I know they are inside my head.<\/p>\n<p>To be more clear on what I hear &#8230; it&#8217;s like when someone talks to you in your dream.  You can hear it, but you know it&#8217;s inside your head.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know I think it&#8217;s kinda stupid me sitting here trying to explain my mental state.  For all I&#8217;m schizophrenic.  After watching &#8216;beautiful mind&#8217; I question myself so add paranoia to the list.<\/p>\n<p>All my life I&#8217;ve heard the joke &#8230; It&#8217;s ok if you talk to yourself, just as long as you don&#8217;t answer.<\/p>\n<p>This makes no sense to me everyone answers themselves.  Somewhere some time, you had an inner dialog weighing a decision, pondering an outcome.  So in a sense you&#8217;re talking to yourself, and answering yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d be more worried about you if you said you never talked to yourself, or answered yourself, because that means you&#8217;re just a mindless drone that I can convince of anything being &#8216;ok.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how everyone else thinks &#8230; do they start off a statement to themselves &#8230; I hate this, or is it a simple &#8216;this sucks.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Enough navel gazing &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you wish you could just press ctrl+z in life some times?
