ffgal, I can relate to the racing thoughts, especially the OBESSIVE organizing that part never goes away in any of my moods. I find that when manic I think of better and better ways each time to organize. Then my family gets mad cause they just figured out where the new organization of stuff was to find that they were changed to even a better organization method. Then I get very irritable cause they don't put things the way I have them or they move them back. It don't work if they don't follow the new organization plan.
