Panic...and I Did it to MYSELF!!

After I posted last night, my OCD decided it felt like it was a good time to act up. I was suddenly anxious because all I could think of was this: What if I have nothing else to blog about? I know I don't have to do multiple posts, I have just been inspired, but I wasn't even sure I could think of anything to ever write about again. And panic ensued. I felt like I was on the verge of an anxiety attack. My brain (my mortal enemy) taunted me, if you have nothing to say, you'll lose the people you've met, that's what ALL pro-blogger sites were saying.
That was a second mistake, looking online for advice. Because suddenly I was bombarded with sites that said things like "The 10 Biggest Blogger Mistakes" or "101 Blog Blunders", and I was like...say whaaaa? There are mistakes?! I am the queen of making mistakes, this means I will probably make at least 51 of the 101 mistakes only 1 blogger talked about. CRAP! *note - crap and bloody are my "bad" words...I'm such a rebel I know. Not! I just figure there are so many words in the English language alone, not to mention all the other languages, that swear/curse words are stupid. Don't get me wrong, I SO want to use them sometimes, but I restrain myself.*
But I digress (I believe I have mentioned my tendency towards segues,etc. to some of you. It's a sad serious sickness that most people are unaware of...oops I'm doing it again, LOL!). So I find myself at one particular site what has over 150 SITES containing mistakes bloggers make and I sat in front of computer, gulping, all the while thinking..."but I just wanted to write about everyday nonsense and find friends"...how can this blogging thing be SO difficult?! So many people are bloggers, do THEY know all the rules? Which I really couldn't understand, a lot were related to if you want your blog to make money, and sure money's nice but not what I was aiming for. And the others just *whoosh* over my newbie head.
And people who claim they have great blog idea sites for you? Lies, all lies! Unless you want to bash or shower love on the new iphone or some such nonsense. Or dissect some particular website that apparently these bloggers think is THAT interesting enough to suggest it as a great blog idea. No it all seemed hopeless...at least at 4:37 am it did...my OCD seld should have gotten my butt off the evil computer, but I let the obsessiveness rule me last night....aaggghhh.
But alas, I found a sight with a few ideas that helped calm me down. Use a notebook and brainstorm ideas. And it gave you an idea on how to do it, look at your last 5 posts and see if you can expand on things you wrote before. I know how OCD this makes me, a notebook with ideas, but it said this was a great ideas for days where you have nothing to say, your "blog rainy days". And I thought, thank the crapness, someone finally writes something I GET. And it worked, I looked at a few of my posts and knew there was more to write. There are dozens of Max stories I can tell, I have opinions on so much music and movies and tv shows, and I beat the OCD monster down. Yay! I finally felt better. This blog is supposed to be good for me, fun for me. A place to find people who I can relate to and talk with. It shouldn't be stressful...okay I know myself, I may have more OCD attacks, but I am hoping I have told my evil brain enemy, to SHUT IT, at least for awhile.
