Interesting . . . "racing thoughts" are not something I've ever personally experienced with depression . . . Elevated may be on to something. I haven't slept well in years and one pdoc "slipped" me an anti-anxiety Rx in lieu of a sleeping aid - it helped not one iota.

Dexter, I think there will be some hills and valleys getting to a better mental place. Please use both your therapist and pdoc to the maximum extent possible . . . I often read here on PC how people are not honest with their mental health team and that never seems to have a positive outcome.

Sending good thoughts your way!
