I get a feeling that even a plane can come crashing through my house! I just take a PRN ativan and hope for the best. Could your xanax help you with this? I'm also on trileptal and its been my rock. I just stopped taking buspar because I'm hoping my pdoc will give me a better PRN like xanax. I hope I offered some help!

I think those irrational worries are (or could be) mildly psychotic. For me they were: antipsychotics and stability were all it took to make it manageable. Also just playing a game thinking of all things that possibly could go wrong might desentisise your (very) mild "proto"-delusions.

Also try to think about the upside to any worry: e.g., if a plane crashing into your house, it is very unlikely you'll notice any of it.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
