I was watching one of my favourite TV shows “Bored To Death” and I liked one of the character’s description of ‘menticide.’ This particular character is pretty anxious and needy and over-analytical, and he said he was suffering from this condition, in that his brain was attacking itself.

I tend to over-think many tiny details in every day life, even succumbing to insomnia every now and then because I just can’t let go of certain days’ events or I keep replaying (and editing) various scenarios in my head. So the description that one’s brain is attacking itself totally makes sense and can be applied to me at times. It was funny and relevant at the same time.

I love it when TV shows speak to me….
