    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the word flow?

    in MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

    I have words coming to me constantly...I see metaphors in everything..I turn phrases in my mind and dance with word play all day..there are times I can't sleep until I get up and write a few phrases down because I am so obsessed with the thought I might forget the idea.. I have so many memories and traumas..but I also see so many new things...just the way the sun bounces off a water puddle when I walk in the house will trigger this..thing in my head..someone will say TWO WORDS to me and within 5 minutes I have 3 stanzas mapped out in my head.. I know it is a blessing..I know it is..but sometimes it feels overwhelming..maddening..I cannot control the way it works..and it is like my dxes of Dissociative Identity Disorder..I feel powerless sometimes..

    Easy to experience burnout when we're creative and bursting with ideas. A practical solution I have found helpful (to get the words off my chest and out of my head) without killing my wrists to type/write it all down, or indeed when I haven't got writing material to hand - is a dictaphone app I downloaded on my phone, It allows me to splurge, for want of a better word, all of my ideas and wordplay into my phone so it's recorded. I tend to do this when I'm driving and I sometimes won't stop driving until I've got enough out ;) Then, I've got a saved, recorded version which I can play back as and when I want, and not all in one go, just enough for me to hear it back and write down what I want to keep. But I do love a good scribbling down too

    Yes..I think the block only comes if I can't complete all the phrasing into a complete work..but I have a plethora of things saved so eventually something will flow into another.. And yes..probably my way of dealing with anxiety..that's a good insight!! Thank you 😊

    I understand what you mean. It may be anxiety too. Still it’s great that you are so creative. If you ever had writers block you would understand 😊
