Mnemonic Diversions

Hot Blooded Whores

The 8 functions of blood are: "Old Charlie Foster Hates Women Having Dull Clothes" for Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Food, Heat, Waste, Hormones, Disease, and Clotting. A better method (making more use of the first few letters of each word) "Wasted Ox
Cart Food Disease makes Clot in Heated Whore".









Mnemonics is what you call a word or group of words that is easier to remember than the thing it stands for.


Right now I am working out some mnemonics that can stand for me. Because I am starting to see that not believing what I feel is real coupled with enjoying being a tv character might signals to some underlying problems of existance.

New Therapist Today:

Therapist: How do you feel about getting an official diagnosis for your anxiety disorders?
How do you feel about taking medication for your anxiety?

Me: But, see, anxiety is my way of life.

I am going to focus on the positive only.

On my way there I was convinced that there was no difference between good and bad feelings because I could think of too many things that felt simultaneously or perhaps interchangeably bad and good and so they cancelled eachother out.

Afterwards I emerged with a different perspective.
And I have decided that this is the safe goal for me for all of this work: altered perspectives. Instead of being "better" if I can just keep gaining new understanding I can feel good about it. The distinction is important because sometimes my new perspective does not seem much "better" from my end. But it can feel like progress, all the same.

I think that my work to assimilate good and bad was just another way of thinking: what I am feeling I am not.
Everytime I think about my mother this is what happens. I get cancelled out. Nulled.

Plus, since I have been turning off the intrusive thoughts and subverting other coping mechanisms too much of my brain is now freed up to bad pursuits like imagining new ways to return myself to misery. Ideally, even worse and far more inescapable traps.

Bad pursuits that I was afraid I'd get up to, hence the compulsions and intrusive thoughts.

So, concentrating on witty mnemonic schemes might be a new (harmless) diversion.

One in what needs to be a much more extensive list.
