How
can I even start to concentrate when my mind has been mashed
into
a pulp by emotion and not a spark of intelligence is left so I have
nothing
to think with? Descartes said ‘I think, therefore I am’ - but
professor
Damasio – of the Phineas Gage case – said it should
be
‘I FEEL, therefore I am…’
I Know My Problems! (Revised)
They create TV series showing people under
emotional stress continuing their work –
well,
according to books people do that, probably –
ideally – but I can’t, I can’t do a thing
Reality is unbearably powerful and big, my
alternative universe is small, unreachable,
high
hopes I had of being able to deal with this
day
evaporates under that heady realisation
No problem at home has been resolved, only
clearly labelled, painstakingly filed – for
later
attention – meantime, I have work on my
desk – yet my mind refuses
To complete circuits required to bring about
logical thinking, looking up things and
writing
down lines; but at least I know my problems
are psychological
