    I think it's tough being tightly wound (sp?) your neurotic thinking is almost viscerial to those around you...and you can often not help but be consumed by feelings that didn't really matter.

    Post your experiences of being an easy wind up

    Do you mean someone who is high strung? If so, count me in. I'm trying, desperately trying, to learn to take a deep breath and go with the flow, not sweat the small stuff. It's not easy though.

    Yeah, high strung, up tight, on edge. From my experience with the psychosis side of being high strung, it has a lot to do with my own expectations of what's happening around me.

    The psychosis part warps my perception of whats really happening remarkably well. Which just clicked to me, this youtube video of someone saying that denying truths is in effect avoiding enlightenment. I kind of feel like being high strung is involved in there in a twisted way

    I always, always! Get upset about the small things! Like the other day, my flatmates borrowed my ipod speakers and I got annoyed... Even though I let them borrow them all the time...

    Yet if it's something big like "Hey I killed your Mum"... I'm like "No worries man, as long as you apologise."

    Well not really, but you get what I mean...

    Oh yeah Im so bad. I take everything really badly. I go insane at people over the smallest things. I feel awful about it....but I dunno how to change...I hate the fact that if something falls on the floor repeatedly I will lose my temper and be in an awful mood...
