This mad addiction

When you have an idea for a steem post

So I have been engrossed in steem for the last week. My normal routines have suffered. See, usually I have my Pilates class MWF at 8:30. Last week I was off since I had to take my son to summer school. In that time, I was blissfully creating, posting illustrations and other life musings with reckless abandon.

Today I went back. Normally I might suffer a minor setback from being gone. That was the case today, but throw in idea overload while trying to participate and I was lost. I mean, give me 50 frickin' minutes to take care of myself free from distraction. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is. The fatigue and misery set in quickly. I was out of touch with everything around me, held captive by new projects swirling in my head. I felt that queasy feeling take over - the kind that sets in when you know you should stop. Jesus. Am I that much of a loser that I can't focus on self care? I don't know what happened. I thought I was going to vomit. For the first time ever I had to leave class 10 minutes early due to mental energy that plagued me from remaining in the moment. It's like I couldn't stand to be away from my creative hub for an hour. That is messed up.

A total reverse of artist's block and I'm not sure how to handle it. It's a first for me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one. Anyone else feel like sharing how their routine has been shaken to the core?

It's utter madness.

The reverse of artist's block. This is great.
I just wrote a post about "the conversation" I had with my wife about Steemit.

I'm a parent too - it's a tough one. Luckily my kids are teenagers, and three of my four are abroad at the moment. When they come back? God help us all.

Hehe, see your point. my doughter is 1 month old, so she take alot of time :p Hehe, use your time good now, as they are away hehe ^^

Haha it already has mine, awesome patform, awesome!!

See you aren't alone and you just added to the madness :) and since your post generated a lot in 30 min...congrats you are now a full blown addict.

I kind of have an addiction too. Lol

When I'm surfing the web or reading other things. I take a screen shot with my phone. THEN, in my notepad, I write my idea or thought and put a time and date I took the screen shot. That way I can always go back to what made me think of it. Lol

Just my way to remember things. If I don't write it down, it would be gone in a hour or two.

Great post. Good luck.

I have to fully agree with you. I got out of bed early Saturday morning to see if Steemit was up again and it was. Next thing you know I'm blogging for an hour earlier than I planned to get up. But it was a great thing because it was my first big post that earned over pennies.

Best of luck to you.

I wake up every morning at 4am to take my meds and get ready for the day.
Adderal, lamotragine and Steemit...
I'm a Steemit Addict
