Space-Case

O.K. so I'm spaced out a lot. At any given moment I have multi-layered brain activity...such as; a constant loud white noise buzz overlapped with a song and a thought on top of that and a daydream whilst driving a car, working or whatever. No wonder I'm forgetful!

I can't comprehend directions easily. This causes my boss at work to get frustrated. I can't take in what she is saying. Sometimes it seems like people at work move and talk so fast or in a foreign language...I'm always asking, :What?" This is embarrassing.

I take a long time to learn new things and forget them quickly. It takes supreme effort to remember cash register sequences and I've been there 5 months.

I have trouble articulating...sometimes I can only describe things in elementary language like big, little, nice and funny. My job demands I sell well and this needs improvement. Thouhg I'm an avid reader I seem to read only a sentence and each word becomes a universe so I get tired of reading cuz it's too hard.

I try so hard to keep up. I feel like I'm from another planet sometimes. Do I have ADD?

I am a bit like that myself. I was always so proud of my son because he had the reading comprehension down to a science. Me? Forgetaboutit! I loved the way you put it>>a sentence becomes a universe or something like that! So funny. Partly, I think it's that right brain v. left brain sort of thing, we're more on the creative/intuitive side than the logical side. Learn to appreciate the less than logical or creative approach to living and learning and to utilize those skills (and they are skills) ~ like visualizing the instructions or directions your boss gives you, instead of struggling to be a memory freak like we think others are, lol. Also, a little practice in being in the here and now will appeal to you, realizing that off-focus stance if you know what I mean. Let me know if this rings any bells for you. I hope it helps.

Windwhistle- I can relate to this. Do you have a hard aspect between mercury and Saturn in your chart? And do you have several planets in Gemini?

I've found many Aquarians are like that/claim to be. I'm Capricorn but born quite near or on the cusp (Jan. 16)

No I dont think you have ADD, if you do I do as well, and I have been told I do not... Ask yourself are you in the right job...? Do you feel under pressure in your work...? If so it could simply be a case of finding something that is lower pressure for you, you sound like a sensitive ... No shame in that... Meditation I find is a wonderful way to stop mind chatter... Guided ones that relax you as well gives you a more quieter perspective of your life... Wish you luck...x

Wonderful advice...I love the self acceptance factor here and I will start visualizing what she is saying. I'm excited about that! I have been practicing being in the 'now' but it only lasts a few seconds before I forget and end up somewhere else. I think being present at all times is a great practice. Thx Silver, glad to know you're a kindred spirit!

I do not know about the hard aspect btw mercury and saturn. I do not have any planets in Gemini. I am Scorpio Sun, Scorpio Moon, Scorpio Rising and Scorpio Venus. But I have NEVER related to Scorpio. I was 10 days late being born and I think I'm a Libra but was afraid to leave the womb bc of all the stress in my family. I am much more of an Air person than a Water person. In fact I gave up on astrology bc Scorpio never fit. I started pretending I was actually born 10 days earlier and charted my horoscope for that and it was dead on. I was supposed to be born on Oct. 20t but I arrived on the 30th instead.

I have been under pressure at work. It is a new job and a whole new career. I am learning many new things every day. My boss is impatiant and industrious and moody. Everyone is afraid of her. However...I absolutely LOVE my job. I get to frame people's paintings using my right brained color knowledge. I love having many activities during the day and speaking to lots of people.. Yesterday I did not feel as spacy. I began to treat my boss as a friend instead of someone I was afraid of. I joked around with her, asked her how she was doing. The ice melted and I made her laugh. The pressure was gone and I performed better. Then I became fully myself around her with no fear and she seemed to love it. I decided she was just like the rest of us and probably knew everybody hated her, so I decided to like her and now I do!!!

What's a guided one and how do I prove the existence of one? I caution you...I am in a doubting phase but I am one with Tao. Is there a Taoist sage guiding me..that'd be way cool.
