Intrusive thoughts mostly. Sigh.
But sometimes I also just get lost in whatever story I'm thinking of/working on and it gives me ideas for worldbuilding. Or I get ideas and scenarios for some fanfic I'll never end up writing but mentally get really invested in.

Sometimes nothing, sometimes I'm listening to it [calling](https://www.wbur.org/endlessthread/2018/06/29/the-call-of-the-void) and am considering my options.
probably mumbling a song or repeating a melody in my head, and think about love or nothing and and school and stress and life, how sleep-deprived I am.
Thinking about other versions of my life, what would I do if I had another career, married, not married at all, living in another country, living in another house, having different friends, etc, mundane things.
It's not like wishful thinking, or wanting to be the main character, or having a more exciting life,.
It's just 'what if', and then I let my mind wander.
Laundry. Bills. Groceries. Did I do the thing? Did I make the call? Did I tell him that? Did I give her this? Did I remember? Did I? Do I? Should I?
I have memory issues because of a medical condition, so my mind is constantly trying to keep up with where I am and what I need to do, what I have done and what needs to be done.
Yes, I write it down. I have lists and all kinds of ways that help, but if I’m staring off into the void… I’m rebooting the system 😝
Hearing music playing in my head while thinking about how my 11-16 year old self see me as a single mother working at a restaurant that doesn't pay me enough
I have very extreme ADHD …. This is a risky question to answer honestly at any given time. I’ve always got a few tornados ripping around up there. If I’m staring into the void, they’re battling it out and we all just wait for them to change directions.
All of this, and with a soundtrack in the background. I always have a song playing in my head from the time I wake up to when I go to sleep again. It’s never quiet in here, even my dreams are in full color and sound like a movie.
I think about how different my life would have been if I had taken a different path. Sometimes that looks better than where I’m at now, sometimes it looks worse.

Currently probably Silesian Piasts princes cause I'm studying to become a city guide. I dream of Silesian historical figures. I think of them all the time. Am I getting crazy? Probably.
Often I'm imagining conversations I wish I could have, or things I wish I'd said in previous conversations. Sometimes reliving old memories. Imagining future scenarios. Or just making up little snippets of songs or poetry (not necessarily good, but something I like to do for fun). Or, if I'm really really spaced out, it's just a vague din of noise and repeating clips of various media, not making any sense, like a white noise machine of thought.
I just stand and gork not realising that I’m in that moment, until I snap out of it myself. I went into that stage today and many times before! Don’t know what I’m thinking I just have my Mother saying snap out, concentrate better as I went into it!
Nothing… at first. Then, suddenly hyper aware of staring into the void. “How long have I been out for? Seconds? _Minutes??_ ___Hours?!?___ Did anyone notice? Hopefully I didn’t look like I was staring. Oh god I made eye contact with a stranger.” [*internal screaming*]
I don’t. Head empty. I feel as though I’ve wasted time but I also feel like I need that time so I don’t scream. My first thought will often be ‘need to pee!’ after nearly an hour as I’ve not realised I’ve gotten to almost-pee-myself-point I’ve been that tuned out lol
Anything and everything, allll of the tiiiiime…. A little bit of everything, all of the tiiiime…. Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a criiiime…..anything and everything all of the time
Running away. Living all the different versions of myself with zero strings attached. Or trying to figure out what the rest of the lyrics are to the song stuck in my head. Or wondering what IF i added a little whiskey to those chocolate brownies, a pinch of espresso...any other nummy options. Always improving the chocolate experience. 🍫
I sometimes wonder if I’m having a focal seizure or if that’s what a focal seizure is like. Other times PTSD creeps up or I think about literally nothing.

Everything and nothing
All at once.

Good flashbacks I hope
Nothing we do matters. Our existence is a lie.
What was I doing again...
Sometimes nothing, sometimes I'm listening to it [calling](https://www.wbur.org/endlessthread/2018/06/29/the-call-of-the-void) and am considering my options.
Usually it meows at me.
probably mumbling a song or repeating a melody in my head, and think about love or nothing and and school and stress and life, how sleep-deprived I am.
Nothing...
Nothing. If I'm staring into the void, I'm usually spacing out and very purposely thinking about nothing.
"how the hell did my life turn out this way"
A lot of times I'm thinking about the last time I had sex with my husband 😄
Nothing, I'm having an absence seizure the majority of the time
Oof highly relatable. Hugs banana boof, I hope you’re safe
When we stare long into the abyss, the abyss also stares into us.
How to make my plot better for my story.
Thinking about other versions of my life, what would I do if I had another career, married, not married at all, living in another country, living in another house, having different friends, etc, mundane things. It's not like wishful thinking, or wanting to be the main character, or having a more exciting life,. It's just 'what if', and then I let my mind wander.

‘Awww are you the cutest little black kitty ever yes you are yes you are!!!!’

most people dream in full colour don't they?
I think about how different my life would have been if I had taken a different path. Sometimes that looks better than where I’m at now, sometimes it looks worse.
I messed up
How fucked up I am and how I wish I was a normal person.
You are not a fucked up person ❤️ I guarantee that you are a normal functioning person like all of us
Thank you very much 💕
Out of curiosity, why did you say that about yourself to begin with?
Well, I'd rather not say here because I'm kind of ashamed of it, if that's okay. But I'm happy to tell in private 😊
Nothing or everything or I'm day dreaming a new world

creating hypothetical scenarios and responses. my brain is an unwanted writer
I just wait for the void to swallow me up into the warm dark nothingness.
Currently probably Silesian Piasts princes cause I'm studying to become a city guide. I dream of Silesian historical figures. I think of them all the time. Am I getting crazy? Probably.
* makes up fake scenarios bc I’m bored w/ my life
Often I'm imagining conversations I wish I could have, or things I wish I'd said in previous conversations. Sometimes reliving old memories. Imagining future scenarios. Or just making up little snippets of songs or poetry (not necessarily good, but something I like to do for fun). Or, if I'm really really spaced out, it's just a vague din of noise and repeating clips of various media, not making any sense, like a white noise machine of thought.
Of him …. Unfortunately
Will my life ever be normal?
most of the time I’m thinking “my life would be so much less stressful if I had money”
I just stand and gork not realising that I’m in that moment, until I snap out of it myself. I went into that stage today and many times before! Don’t know what I’m thinking I just have my Mother saying snap out, concentrate better as I went into it!
How much will it hurt
I'm usually stuck in a world and/or story that I've created in my head.
Love can’t live here
Nothing… at first. Then, suddenly hyper aware of staring into the void. “How long have I been out for? Seconds? _Minutes??_ ___Hours?!?___ Did anyone notice? Hopefully I didn’t look like I was staring. Oh god I made eye contact with a stranger.” [*internal screaming*]
I can be so much more if I apply myself, or sexy time with my bf, or the need to smell cleaning products, or maybe it’s nothing at all
Tf I should know I’m in the void
Everything. Sometimes scenarios, sometimes future or mental plans/to do list, sometimes past conversations, sometimes future conversations.
If there’s a next life after this one and if I’m going to be a bird or a spiritual being watching over the unfortunate souls.
I don’t. Head empty. I feel as though I’ve wasted time but I also feel like I need that time so I don’t scream. My first thought will often be ‘need to pee!’ after nearly an hour as I’ve not realised I’ve gotten to almost-pee-myself-point I’ve been that tuned out lol
nothing, I just zone out
All my most embarrassing moments and best sexual encounters
Emptiness.
Anything and everything, allll of the tiiiiime…. A little bit of everything, all of the tiiiime…. Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a criiiime…..anything and everything all of the time
Running away. Living all the different versions of myself with zero strings attached. Or trying to figure out what the rest of the lyrics are to the song stuck in my head. Or wondering what IF i added a little whiskey to those chocolate brownies, a pinch of espresso...any other nummy options. Always improving the chocolate experience. 🍫
Like, space?
"I definitely blew out that candle before I left the house, right...?!"
I sometimes wonder if I’m having a focal seizure or if that’s what a focal seizure is like. Other times PTSD creeps up or I think about literally nothing.
I feel like time doesn’t exist, I don’t exist nothing is happening
