i like to dance a lot, and i like to watch movies, what do you like? and thank you

@overthinker Movies and TV are my thing. I’m watching a movie called Time Freak. It’s an okay movie, it has Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones whom I love.

@twicedouble oh okay, i’ve never seen game of thrones, is it any good?

@overthinker Game of Thrones is perhaps my favorite TV show ever. It’s slow in the beginning but it picks up. The ending wasn’t particularly satisfying but it could have been worse.

@twicedouble oh okay, i might start watching it then, but i’m in the middle of watching the tv show you. have you seen it?

@overthinker No. Not yet. I plan on watching it some time.

@twicedouble it’s very mysterious, but i like it, i mean it’s rated 18, if your american i think it’s r- rated or something like that, so i’m a bit underaged, but i still enjoy it ?

@overthinker We call it MA here.

@twicedouble oh okay, is that for mature? and where are you from?

@overthinker Yeah, Mature Audience. At your suggestion I’m watching the You pilot.

@twicedouble Oh and I live in California.

@twicedouble you won’t regret watching it

@twicedouble i liave in the Uk

@overthinker I watched a bit. I couldn’t get my thoughts to slow down so I’m watching TED Talks.

@twicedouble what do you mean?

@overthinker I have racing thoughts. Makes it hard to focus on TV or movies.

@twicedouble oh okay, what about? unless you don’t want to talk about it

@overthinker I’m an open book. I have no problem talking about it. Essentially my thinking goes into overdrive and I have many overlapping or contradictory thoughts all at once. The most common one is having a song stuck in my head. That alone wouldn’t be bad, but I’m also worrying about various things. I’ll practice conversations, think about what I’m doing next, talking with people, etc. all at once.

@twicedouble that sounds mentally and psychically exhausting. i’m sorry about that

@overthinker It is. I only just learned that racing thoughts isn’t typical. I always thought that my mind only raced when I was anxious. But I showed a video to a friend about racing thoughts and she said it made her anxious.

@twicedouble oh. i’m really sorry you have to go through that, do you find that sleep is an escape, or is there something you do when you’re awake to calm your thoughts?

@overthinker I have a hard time sleeping so I have prescribed sleeping pills. But the only other way I can quiet them is with weed.

@twicedouble oh okay, i’ve never tried anything like weed, i feel like sleep is the only time i’m truly relaxed. i don’t like the idea of anything to do with ddugs

@overthinker I can understand that. Do you object to medicine too? Or just traditional drugs?

@twicedouble i don’t usually take medication unless i absolutely have to, i like to think i can do things without the help of drugs

@overthinker *nods* I definitely need the extra help. I do very poorly without them.

@twicedouble me too, but i force myself to deal with it

@overthinker That’s good. Unfortunately what I’m taking is for BPD and not so much for OCD.

@twicedouble oh, why don’t you take something that is good for ocd too?

@overthinker Because my psychiatrist believed that BPD was the more pressing issue and that OCD is just a response to it.

@twicedouble oh okay, i hope you get better

@overthinker Thanks!
