A great post.

Thank you.

OUR thoughts are stated as racing fast by ourselves.

So it is irrelevant that others who do not have Bipolar state that their thoughts race fast too.

It simply means when we are hypo - we battle to hang onto a thought for too long because no longer has a thought fleeted through our mind then we are suddenly flung widly onto a completely different thought making it challenging to hold one specific thought for too long. We get very easily distracted.

Anxiety is related to Bipolar. Especially during Episodes. And even MORE so during Depression. Sometimes, Depression leads to a lot of Depression Speech. Depression Speech says to us: "You are useless. You can do nothing right. You always mess up. You are the worst person ever." And this Depression Speech makes us BELIEVE this to be true.

So we start panicking. How do I end myself being useless?

There may be only one option left.

And then we get ANXIOUS. What if "this" IS the only way out?

That is how badly Depression Speech makes us feel!

I sing songs when I have intrusive thoughts.

Constantly.

It is my WEAPON.

Against intrusive thoughts.

It is my WEAPON against Depression Speech.

I choose Life.

Daily.

I AM RADICALLY DIFFERENT. I KNOW WHO I AM AND I AM UNIQUE. I EMBRACE THIS.
