I would like to know if others of you with BD have the experience of getting stuck on a thought. For example, the thought can be something you worry about. The worry is potentially a real worry, but instead of being in it's place in life it becomes the center of the universe. The worry takes on huge dimensions and layers. It gets all over everything.

OR the thought can be something quite ridiculous - for example, last night after I went to bed I pictured the grocery store I usually shop at. In a section of that store there is a counter made for an employee to work behind. But there never is an employee working there. My mind got stuck on the idea of how the store could be rearranged so that unused counter is not longer there. I was so tired of trying to rearrange the store in my mind, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Part of the reason I couldn't fall asleep, besides ruminating on the design of the grocery store, was because the moon is getting full and, although it's beautiful, the moonlight caused me to stay awake. I knew it would be gone when I awoke, and I didn't want to miss seeing it. So I stayed awake to watch it.

I'm wondering about others of you with BD...do you have thoughts that get "stuck"?
