It happens sometimes

Mar 25, 2009 | Personal | 16 comments

I go quiet.

It’s called Cave Mode, and it’s my coping mechanism when I’m feeling overwhelmed with life, confused about stuff, and just generally stressed. In a personal capacity.

So I stay inside my own head for a while to sort shit out – I take some timeout from communicating with people. This just simplifies the process for me … it cuts out the complicated crap that everyone ELSE is dealing with so that I can focus on my own stuff. AND it stops me from possibly spreading any crap vibes I may have.

Yeah, my head is spinning a bit – there’s a lot going on in there at the moment 🙂

Onwards and upwards

    I remember when I was at school (yes I can remember that far back), they used to go on about “Perseverance”, I never forgot 🙂

    @cath … As a fellow-caver, I know you get this 🙂

    @Diago … I totally empathise!! Jeez, that sounds familiar. This mental retreat helps, I *still* sometimes crash, but not like I used to. I go inside myself (even if its just for a few hours) and regroup so I have the right energy and wisdom to handle everything and everyone better when I emerge.

    @Dad … thank you xxx

    @Chris … LOLZ! You don’t give up, hey? 🙂

    Cave mode. A place were no one can reach you and nothing can harm you while life simply passes by. I often wish I had the time for cave mode, rather then the total crashes I experience at the moment dealing in between a hectic schedule. Definitely a place I can relate to.
