I'm worried I'm losing my mind. |
|
I no longer know what is real and what isn't. I'm even starting to wonder if I am.
Plus I just burned my toast. :cry:

1. But if you have toast... |

I didn't burn my toast, but I lately feel like I'm recklessly driving my car at about 180mph, straight for a cliff.

7. It seems as if the whole world is going on right past me |
|
in a great crazy frenetic waltz, going round me, past me, through me and nobody sees that I am here. I'm starting to wonder if maybe they're right and I'm not.

8. You are a wave in a vast sea. |
|
...a bubble on the surface of a stream.
You seem to be an individual, but you are simply a manifestation of everything in the entire vast universe.
Are you the dream, or the dreamer?
Put the burned toast out for the birds. Toast another slice.

I would offer to share my mind with you, but there is so little of it already that I fear it could not handle the increased demand. Plus then you might start driving on the right side of the road, and that would be dangerous.
You are real and present in a way that others are not because you are living in the moment. The people whirling around you... I'm quite certain that upon a closer inspection, you really wouldn't want their lives.

13. issolatiion is not good |
|
And sometimes troubles can make a person feel issolated, like others don't understand. Or things are to different to talk about.
Hang in there, lots of people feel that way.
There is a thought, "It is impossible to know what is real outside your own experiance, except to trust what others say." When the trust of things like TV or News, or establish sources is weakened. Suddenly its impossible to know what is real or not.
But in reallity you never knew what was real before, you just trusted it was. You can only truely know the box you are in. Outside of that is trust, a good thing, but you can back it up with critical thinking.
Anyway, good luck, and don't let it get you down.

years ago when I was young and cute my girlfriend and I were sitting in a bar drinking vodka. She was on a "poor poor pitiful me" drunk .
A guy we worked with joined us.
She said " M---- I think I have lost it"
The guy said " have you looked under the table?" as he began searching under the table/
Maybe you just need to look under the table

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is, at least according to Dan Quayle. Maybe he can find it for you. :D

20. Maybe your mind is fine, but the toast isn't really burnt? |
|
Or maybe you just need more ABBA in your life. Have you seen "Mama Mia!" yet?
Hang in there, and if the thoughts seem truly abnormal, talk to someone who knows more than the average Lounge wise-cracker. :)

(my direct response was half-silly, and in reverence to the OP because I respect him a great deal, but in utter seriousness you make an excellent point. Sleep deprivation and underlying causes can be serious.)

23. There is no spoon. Only a spork. |

Do not worry about the toast. Feed it to some ducks. Make some new toast.
The fact you ask shows you are not losing your mind.
Now, are you a virgin? :evilgrin:

When I was a kid, there was NO toast. We had to hang around eating raw dough until somebody discovered fire. Consider yourself fortunate and count your blessings.

28. Where did you last have it? I'd look there. |
|
But seriously, a shrink once told me that you're okay if you're worried about not being okay. Real crazy people think they're the ones who know what's what, and think the rest of us aren't paying attention.
Just be grateful for you what you have. You have bread. That's a good thing. :hug:

29. The only toast is burnt toast. |
|
That is truly the only way to eat it. You must have butter and jam. Not margarine. And there doesn't even need to be a spoon.
But if you got no knife and you only got a spoon, life can still be good.
The last thing you want to do it look for it.
Somebody else will recognize you as being there.
Because you are.
Until then nobody else will be able to see you.
All is well.

We all know that you are not losing your mind. But I know what you mean about having that out of sync feeling. I too think that I am experiencing that right now. Sometimes I feel like a shadow.
Hope your spirits pick up soon.

Therefore I can vouch that you are indeed real. Of course, that could also mean that I'm not real either.
