Does anyone also go Crazy Thinking to much?

As an animal advocate, I feel a strong need to address your post.

Let me just say that all of this that you saw on Oprah was NOT just according to her. Puppy mills have been in existence for many, many years and it's a type of
"black market" that has been brushed under the rug because man runs this earth and for so many years, it has been believed (and still is by sick-minded individuals) that people should be able to do whatever they want with animals.

Puppy mills exist in other countries as well. Don't think that just because your dad would possibly go to Brazil to buy a puppy, that it wouldn't be coming from as horrible of conditions as the puppy mills that were featured on Oprah. If you didn't notice, it wasn't just "according" to Oprah because they had hidden cameras on the reporter (Lisa Ling) who went into the puppy mills herself. These inhumane places are everywhere in the US. Don't even get me started on how other countries treat animals...that's an entirely different post.

Yes, if you buy a puppy from a petstore that gets their puppies from puppy mills, you are ultimately supporting them. Another problem with pet stores is that they are in it for the money and not making sure that the puppy being sold is going to a home that will take care of him, provide for him, and be overall responsible pet owners.

Why would your dad go to Brazil to get a puppy? There are plenty of rescue groups in the US, millions of shelters and humane societies. I don't think you watched the full episode that Oprah ran because if you did, you would know that there are many rescues, shelters, and humane societies with great dogs and puppies waiting for a loving home. You could find any kind of dog there. This is something I am very passionate about.

I cried partly out of relief when Oprah aired that episode. It was long overdue. I so wanted the public to finally be informed about this issue. I just wish more people would take a stand.

It wasn't a puppy mill. It was like the size of a house small scale and the facility looked clean.
That one partuclar mill was good but I'm sure their are horrible ones too in Brazil.

I wasn't sure that there are so many inhumane puppy mills I thought it was just some.

Thanks for oppening up my eyes about animals shelter I forgot. :(
My mom want's a micro dog poddle which is small.
If we do look in one of the rescue groups we might not find it but, it maybe hard to convince
my parents to get one from their or even look in the first place.(but I will try)

My mom might not be so excepting to the fact of adopting a rescued dog.
My dad will most likely agree with you on that point.

Thank goddness you posted about this I would of never though about it!

I only saw half of it. opps... I spoke with out knowing the facts.
I'm also certian there is a shelter in my town too.

Thanks I will try my best.


Edit: I really need to make a list of all the problems I need to try to improve.
Maybe if I become a Senator (I can't become president because I'm not born in America).
Maybe this law could be changed?

ALL THE TIME! I think I have ADHD. It's so chaotic. I just want to sleep at night, and if I get woken up I think for hours again before I can sleep. There is times where I hyper focus, and there is times where I can't focus at all. It's either or, but when I looked up what it means to be "gifted"
they all exhibit what is considered to be a gifted ADHD suffer. I just can't stop asking questions. I must know the answer to everything! It's a constant quest for wisdom.

Sometime I think
about if I actually exist. I start moving my arms and hands but it feel more like I'm watching tv or
the movement might be of by a tad bit. I always find myself thinking from scratch were I completely
forget everything I've learned before and just begin thinking out of nothing.

I sometimes get freaked out by how unreal reality can seem. I have been lately.

I know this feeling too...You get so relaxed and you have to move to make sure you still exist!

I guess because we think too much, that is why we have a rich inner life.

because we in our own minds are perfection and no one else can tell us different in there! LOL
 
Heh. Sometimes I liken my mind to a car engine that's revving... that sound is the sound it makes when it's being overrun with thoughts. Getting into the real world is what calms it down- ah, the joy of Se!

I usually walk around in nature to shut down the thoughts, but think I might take up painting as well. :)
 
Well this doesn't get to me much, I'll go through times when I get lost in my head, kind of been there the part couple of weeks but once I sort stuff out and go back to normal I find it really easy to go blank, you know how people ask "whatcha thinking" and you give the response "nuffin"? well I mean it :D especially with some music going my mind can check out.

Lastly, I find I have to intentionally shut down my poor, decrepid, over-used mind now and again as a matter of balance.

I do this too!
Sometimes I get trapped in this mind loop and I'll be so consumed with solving the situation that it makes it impossible to focus on anything else. For me though, when it gets this bad, I can't do anything creative. I'll have to find some sort of mindless activity, like watching tv or cleaning, to release myself from the loop.

I also do this. It's the "recharge". If I don't get it, I get burned out and grumpy.

I'd rather be doc ;)

Just bought a guitar (Henrick-good idea! Hurts the first couple times learning, though! My fingers are killing me!)
Click to expand...

What a cuincidence (sorry for spelling but i,m typing wih one hand because i hurt two fingers on my other hand)
I learned tolay guitar about anyear ago. I've played the viola in my school orchastra for three years. So that might explain why my fingers
hur whn I learned guitar.

Which way are you learning? Tabs,chords, or music theory with notes. I learned music theory since it applies to most instruments
I recomend you learn it this way to. There's a book Clled Alfred (i think I dont have it with me right now its back at home) that I'm using
to learn piano and guitar. There are three levels but I got the three in one book.
I hope you continue. :D
 
:D
Thank you, Henrick!! Chords, actually. I bought a chord book, and am waiting for recommendations. I really just want to do this for fun, so I'm taking it slow. I become bored fast if I cram too much info in at once (then again, if I don't learn right away, I also get really bored). I also know someone who plays, and she was gracious enough to help me figure out how to play past the "do not play" strings when they wind up in the middle (B is NOT easy . . . well, actually it is, I just thought it sounded "off").

What is "tolay?"

Viola sounds fun. I wanted a violin when I was fourteen. It's a little easier to carry than a viola! Plus, Disney has this cute little "short" from, like, the fifties, with a "jazz" island and a "classical" island. The instruments were people, but were communicating with anyone from the other island until a romeo and juliet developed between the princess violin and the saxaphone prince . .

Sorry. Random moment. :mrgreen: It was a cute short.

Tolay is to play type-o (could be a new word in the future).

I remember that. I was ten years old so I don't remember it well. We gave all the tapes we had to an orphanage.
We had MickeyMouse and others. We had Snow white and three musketters.
I remember that the same type that had that music war also had a short (in color) that had mickey donald and goofy
pete getting ready for a concert.

I also had a type with the first mickey episode where he's on that boat trying to save minnie.

If you have any favorite songs it can help (and give a sense of satisfaction) to jot down the chords for these...it makes initial learning a little more fun. Your book may have some of these, but if you have any other favorites I'd be happy to help you find the chords...send me a pm. Some songs are frightfully easy...I'll let you know if they're not.
 
I'm not sure on the cause and effect.

Everyone says I'm crazy
My psyche, and a bunch of people i've talked to said that i think too much.

my book is straight chords. I mainly sing christian contemporary, the beatles . . . this one random song from red hot chili peppers . . .

I'll keep you in my mind, trust me! I'm luving it, so far! The only difficulty is figuring out how to sing properly and still concentrate on playing the chords right.
I dont think I'm a very good multitasker.
 
Thinking too much...? My mind is constantly going like you guys describe (although it's about the relationships between theology, philosophy, psychology, physics, and my own experiences... so very different topics), but it takes like 3 or 4 hours of spacing out per week to make up for an hour or so of busy thought.

the thinking has kept me up . . . many a night. What troubles ail the world, how many of them are related to inter/intrapersonal conflicts, what solutions can be worked on to solve these issue . . . and if I will ever be able to make a difference . . .
Click to expand...

Ooh that's so cool... I always thought it was only the NTs did stuff like this. It must just be intuitives in general who craft solutions to the big problems... which is good for everyone, haha, because I wouldn't want NTs trying to work out solutions to interpersonal conflicts. I've got to separate the T preference of MBTI from the concept of thinking... they keep sliding together on me.

Guitar is a blast, by the way. If you learn to (or know someone who can) sing and play pretty well, you can create a fantastic, intimate atmosphere for a bunch of people by just dimming the lights and whipping out some Iron & Wine (band name). It's like an introvert's haven, where you can just sit and listen and not have to really talk after a long day of hanging out with people.
 
I feel better reading everyone's stuff...

I sometimes wish I had a stop button for my brain. It's always boiling... When I go to bed I think think think, finally I will be falling asleep and suddenly another random thought comes to my mind, I can't help thinking about it, and then I'm awake again... That can go on for a while.

I'm thinking of doing some meditation. Actually I'm sure I need it. Badly. I've tried some exercises but it's just SO hard to empty your mind.

I also do some painting and that helps. Walking in nature. Stuff like that.
 
My husband tells me Just say the word Blank over and over in your head...and BEHIND the word blank my thoughts are still blinking through the word...then you start thinking about the word its meanings and how strange it sounds when said over and over again...then you start to form creative images with the strange sounding word as now it sounds foreign and fictional...then the thoughts trail to the images and thoughts of what the images are depicting...behind all of that is the thoughts of the everyday...whats for dinner tomorrow, did i remember to feed the fish, what bills are due, man i have to clean that....ect..This is an average night for me!

I also exagerate situations but real bad situations like overpopulation, education, parenting, culture, and
deep family issues make me go crazy and I feel a duty to fix them when I grow up.

Yes!! My mind never shuts up! I have to close my eyes and count to 20 if I want to slow it down long enough to enjoy a hot bath. I also had to give up using social media because of it. I just had to luck out and end up being an INFJ with social anxiety.
 
I tend to think a lot and when i get to explain my thoughts in words , language doesn't do me a favor. It's frustrating, because i tend to organize my thoughts externally rather than internally.
Overthinking is such a default thing for me to do that i don't even see it as a bad thing anymore. I tend to see it as my zone.
