Mental Blocks

[Remus]

Does anybody here suffer from mental blocks? On some assignments, I really struggle because I've just got this mental block on that particular assignment. I find for me what causes them is if I don't find the assignment interesting, I find the work hard or I don't exact get on with the tutor who set it.

i know exactly what you mean. sometimes my brain decides it's had enough of working,a nd goes into lockdown. when it gets to that point i can't do anything, productive or procrastinative. it's like when you want to cry, and you get a lump in your throat, when i want ot work i get a lump in my brain.

I get mental blocks all the time and my memory is terrible so exams were a bit of a nightmare for me!

I used to try and remember important words by rhyming them with words I could remember.

Ah tis the nature of teh word itself reek dys- meaning ‘difficulty’ and -praxis meaning ‘control of movement.
Mind farts . When i was diagnosed it was explained to me as if your brain wiring was a train track . NT (Nerou typical s ) had straight lines going to their "stations" (what they wanted to think) , and we had huge great Northern Indian mountain railway passes (we got great scenery mind ) , and our brains had to wait for the trains to come back , sadly some times losing the "thought" passengers on the way .

We also sometimes have less carriages

That means its 5 mins ciunt your breathing (as long as your not doing 70 mph on teh motorway ) and chill out.

I hate taking exams, every exam it was like my brain was pressing the delete button on purpose. That's why I am glad I'm doing courses which are only coursework based.
