Hello a_c, I'm sorry I have not seen your thread earlier than now. What you're going through sounds extremely difficult. I am so sorry that the unpleasant radio show has returned to bother you.

When manic I lie in bed and listen to music in my mind. The music is all sounds that I like; it's like listening to an album I'm fond of. (Usually it's Pink Floyd, I assume that's because there is such a variety of sound in Pink Floyd's work.) But yes, after a while the music becomes intrusive and keeps me from sleeping.

I suspect that a change in medication dosage or type is in order?

Please let us know what your pdoc suggests. I am sending you love and have my fingers crossed for your well-being and mental peace.
