Are there days in which you cannot think of any single discussion to start?

For me,yes there are. There are times that my mind is preoccupied of so many things and when it comes to starting a mylot discussion, it is really very difficult for me. And sometimes, I cannot participate to any discussion. It seems that my brain is experiencing difficulties in thinking and ideas do not come to me easily. However,there are times that I can do participation but on very few discussion only.
Are there days in which you cannot think of any single discussion to start? If so, what are you doing instead of starting a discussion?

Well, at times I can't also think of discussions or responses. Specially when i am listening to a music, I feel that I can't make discussions at all!
Well, for those time, I just close my PC and take rest for one or two days. The rest makes my mind a little fresher and I can think of new new ideas.

yah! It happend to me often. There are days that I have this difficulty of starting discussions or even giving comments to discussion per se. That is, my participation here is depending on my mood status.

Actually no, I have hundreds of discussion topics. I start them off and on when the mood hits me. Sometimes I'll go to bed and just lie there and the topics will just roll out of my brain like water LOL

Actually I love to start discussions and often have to resist the urge to just start bangloads of them. I keep a list of discussion topics and thumb through them till I find some that I'm in the mood to do and do them.

Unfortunately I have to say that yes I have problems.
Sometimes I can just respond and discuss like crazy and others I really just can't
form a single thought.
I also find that if there is any background noise, sometimes I have trouble
concentrating.
I still do my best though. :))

You know, I find it a lot easier to give a response to another person's discussion as well. I think it all depends on the type of person you are. I am one who likes to share my advice with others, so adding to a discussion is not too difficult for me. :-) You and I seem to have a lot in common. :-)

It happens to me too. There are days that I feel that even the most outrageous topics are too much for me and I can't seem to find the right words or compose my thoughts to post. Adding to your frustration is when you post a topic and was only able to get a few response or none at all. Cheers!

Well, it happens to very often. At times I have a lot of ideas to start a discussions and there are times when I can't think of a single discussions. Sometimes, when I have a lots of idea and when I actually start to type, I just forget what the idea was. It is very disturbing. At those times, I simply respond to others' discussion instead of starting my own.

You are right. Sometimes I just don't know what I could think of to discuss. Just check out others's discussion and response. I like doing both at the same time.

This problem in on everybody, the mind is tired and we block all kind of ideas or topics to talk about. Recommendation take a nap of 10 to 15 minutes you will recharge bateries and you will see the brain begin to gave you ideas. By the way i am new in MyLog i hope i liked, this are my first respond to a discussion, i will continue writing. Thanks

Yes, I would definitely have to say so. I think this is something that is a little equivalent to "writer's block". Honestly, I think that if you make it a habit to consistently write down, or take note of anything you have been pondering, then it will be very easy (or at least a little more easy) to formulate a topic for discussion. :-)

it sounds like u have a lot of stress in ur life. i think everyone does this day & time. that is why i get into the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms to clear my mind & do my praying. when i get my mind upon the Lord i feel peace. there r times when i do not know what to respond either. i think that is quite normal.

Hi annierose...I have those same days. There are some days when I have much to say and other discussions keep my fingers busy. But there are other days when nothing doing on mylot interests me. I try to start at least a couple of discussions a week but if it doesn't happen, oh well...I just respond to as many discussions that interest me and wait for the lightbulb to go off!

Well honestly its been days now that I cant think of a good discussion so I make the casual discussion in which i know would have few response. I am just totally drained from the many forums sites that I am into thats why cant think of a good discussion now and just comment on my friends discussions or find new discussions that interest me and reply to them or I mark best response and sometimes just read.
Cant force myself to think for it would only give me split headache the more I cant
think lol. Well I have been like this for days and I think I need more rest for me to think clearly again.

Totally agree with you. Yes, I do have the same question as you. Normally, my brain just cannot work smoothly. I don't quite understand why I have such a problem maybe it is because of my bad habit smoking a lot. It has damaged my brain a little bit. Or my sleeping is not good. For this, I just participate what you myLotters started. And I think it is also quite interesting. lol
