Hello, Pinkrose, thanks very much for a different perspective (since you are not bipolar). My dad had a dx of anxiety disorder, and had insomnia. I used to have insomnia, but I think the bipolar meds have helped a lot to not have it. Other than that, your experience with racing thoughts is different from mine. Mine tend to be about fascinating and interesting things -- and I want to (and sometimes try to) do them all, or research them on the internet.
