I've been kind of speedy lately, but now I'm getting more and more uncomfortable. My thoughts are so loud and jump around from topic to topic so fast that it's hard to keep up. Random sentences and ideas come and go when I'm not speaking to someone. Sometimes conversations fuzzy in the background when I'm trying to relax. I am feeling super sensitive to noises that are around and wish everything would slow down. Sometimes in between thoughts there is like a static type noise, like when I am in my room.

Sometimes lately, I find random images pop into my mind of designs and symbols for things. This isn't as concerning....just different lately. I even feel speedy when I am sitting still, like I have so much adrenaline. I am nervous that this problem will only continue to get worse, but I am trying to remain hopeful that things won't get way out of control.

People don't know what I'm hearing, but they are noticing I am much more hyper than usual, easily irritated, and more talkative. I start ranting over random things that set me off and my family complains about me going on tangents, but once I start, I cannot stop. I am hoping my meds will do something to bring me back down.

Another thought: It seems a lot of people report that their emotions are very flat on BP drugs. I am still highly emotional, more and more lately. Even when I am taking meds that are supposed to be sedating, they don't seem to be enough anymore to bring me back down. At times, it would be nice to experience a level of apathy, rather than feeling everything is so important and impossible to let go of. It's overwhelming.

What are some ways you've tried to cope with racing thoughts, or any of these problems, for those of you who can relate?
