Racing thoughts are my primary symptom. I often have my mind going so fast I can't think. It's very frustrating. I've had racing thoughts my whole life as far as I can remember.
I just recently started lithium which has helped some. Also I finally took the clonazepam last night for the fist time. Whoa, talk about slowing down. But in a good way.
Since I wasn't on meds a long time one thing that really helped me was to play games.
Match 3 type games (like Jewel Quest or Candy Crush type of games,) basically, these are games that tend to be brightly colored and have goals. I don't pay for extra turns or whatever, so once I run out of turns I can move on to something else. But, it kind of forces me to focus in short bursts. That's my theory anyway.
