Im having really bad racing thoughts and anxious during my manic times. Is there any way to get rid of my thoughts. The pdoc gives me something to say, it doesnt work. Anyone out there with any suggestions.

I also have this problem sometimes. Something I found helpful was deep breathing exercises and reciting a personal mantra. Or I crank up the music, Good Luck!  TnT

go back to psychiatrist if he can't help find another one. You may find a mood stabilizer like lamactil will help. It helped me alot

I was on lamactl it made me sick. I am also seeing a good shrink, feel really good after I leave. But these thoughts cone into my head and hurt my relationship.

You may need a change in meds? But in my opinion meds cant fix everything. Taking steps to learn ways to calm things down to me is equally important.
As TNT said breathing exercises are helpful. Welcome to PC  I hope you will find this site helpful

Hi there,
Racing thoughts are so unpleasant and it seems that when appear, there is no rest from the noise, not during the day or at night. I did find that lying in a quiet space on the floor and deep breathing helped, after a good 30 minutes. However, I count while I deep breathe............. Deep breath............. in 2, 3, 4 Exhale....................1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Repeat When I focus on the counting, it distracts my mind from the racing. The other thing that I ensure is that I get enough sleep, which usually involves taking trazadone and some clonazepam to knock me out. It is almost a necessity, because I don't need to sleep when I am hypomanic. I fall into deep sleep and do not have the racing thoughts. |
