"A rollercoaster of chaos and stillness"
Anonymous - Long Island, NY, USA
"My brain feels like
A ball of yarn that’s vibrant, tangled, and endlessly textured. Each thread represents a thought, idea, or spark of creativity. Sometimes, the threads connect in unexpected ways, creating beautiful patterns, but other times, they knot and twist, making it hard to find the end. There’s an energy to it—constant motion, like fingers itching to knit something new before the current project is done.
My brain looks like
A kaleidoscope bursting with surrealist imagery—each shift reveals a new combination of colors, shapes, and ideas that never fully repeat. It’s like walking into a room filled with the Brooklyn Bridge archway: strings of lights glittering, ideas crossing like cobblestone paths, and arches framing boundless creative potential. There’s a sense of organized chaos, where beauty emerges from the mess.
My brain sounds like
An electric guitar solo, improvised and unrestrained. It shifts from soulful melodies to wild riffs, unpredictable but captivating. Layered over that are snippets of conversations, songs, and plans, like a radio flipping through stations. It’s noisy, sure, but there’s always a rhythm to it—a hum of productivity and potential, even in the chaos."

"A tangled ball of wool. I can only get to short bits that aren’t within the knot. I can’t unravel it. Just access whatever is at the front of the tangled ball of wool. If I try to pull it… it gets more knotted. So I just have to process the bits that I can get to."

"My brain feels like chat gpt and Gemini being used by someone else. It is constantly just generating huge amounts of information."

"I tell people to imagine a cross road, a wide cross road with 4 lanes of traffic each way but no system. So there are vehicles everywhere and there's music playing every other car. Some are broken down and causing issues, some are trying to ram others out there way. It's constant and it's chaotic.
(I also tell people that my brain when I'm medicated is the exact same volume of traffic and there's still music and beeping but there's a traffic light system in place and it's ordered)"

"A never ending stream of consciousness. I am always thinking of 100 scenarios and possible outcomes. It’s all i know! I sometimes can’t believe people don’t spend as much time up there thinking."
