the song that keeps on giving…

I’ve had a song in my head for over 24 hours. I can hear it now as I type. It’s definitely a stress thing. I happen to like the song, it’s by Crowded House, but this is ridiculous. I heard it all night and will probably hear it all day. I don’t need the radio!

I’ve always said that the bipolar brain has it’s own tape recorder. We can hear something and our brain will loop it for way too long.  It’s always a sign I’m doing too much, worrying too much, eating poorly, etc etc.

I’m giving a speech tonight. I feel great about the speech, but don’t like the prep. That is probably why I’m hearing the song as I type.   This is such an odd illness. I don’t think people with quiet brains have any idea what it’s like to have a brain that is so noisy.

    Julie,

    Wow, someone that gets it. Can’twait to meet you tonight. I have one of your books and hope that you can sign it. I too am writing a book. Perhaps we can be in contact and I can learn how you made it to where you are. The jouney of madness is so enlightning, and so many like to read about us. It is cool. See you tonight!
