Hi Everyone!

Oh yes...racing thoughts. I have been there many times. Usually as I am rising UP into Hypomania. CBT helped me with this (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and deep breathing/relaxation techniques.

One technique I find very useful is the STOP & SWITCH. When I feel a thought coming on.. over & over I visualize a BIG RED STOP sign.....and I turn my thoughts to my "safe place". Being able to master this has taken me about 6 months-IT IS WORTH staying with.

The other "support" I have is Seroquel. Although it has caused weight gain..it relieves my racing thoughts... & helps me sleep. I began on 25 mg a year ago...increased gradually over the past 10 months to 800 mg as of now.

Hope my post helps...
