I still remember the first time my mind went quite. I thought quieting your mind just referred to the core of it. Pushing the noise out and away, where you can ignore it. Having it go both silent and calm was... odd, but nice.

It rarely happens now, but I at least now have a reference for how noisy my mind is.

yeah it came back after a few months but it's under my control now. it's so weird to know other people don't have to deal with it.

Mine lasts for a couple of minutes tops, before the screaming comes back.

It's definitely weird to think that some people don't have that to draw inspiration from.
