It is dreadfully paralyzing having an overtly sensitive and debauched limibic system that vainly robs me of the use of personal cognitive faculties. I feel like I’m in a constant state of absent-mindedness, operating in lizard-brain mode: emotions untamed, cognitions retarding in squalor.
And yet, nothing appears to satiate my emotional strife into a semblance of reason-rife functionality. My emotions are either flailing down the dark canals of my bowels or are uncomfortably glued to the back of my throat, leaving my stomach in a perpetual state of distress and my breath smelling like bilious, undigested complacency.
Helplessly, I feel utterly bereft of all remedies to resolve this emotional overwhelmness. I’ve futilely changed the way I think, changed my belief system, and changed my expectations of the world, myself, and others in the past, but cognitive dissonance reigns supreme, giving my emotions sovereignty over my spent cogntive processess.
If my heart and mind continue to live in oppositional chaos, as separate rival entities, in riotous disharmony, my outlook is morbidly bleak.
Positive, rational change is in dire needed. This malevolent discord between faculties has to resolve. Cognition and Emotion need to dance in harmony in order to achieve the smallest morsel of personal happiness, contentment, and peace.

I really like this lizard-brain thing! I feel like that at work every day.
On emotions and cognition- one of my favorite subjects. My students have a very hard time with it...they believe that all things can and should be rational.
