If your mind is racing do you think it's a good idea to be at a party?

I feel better. I had a beer, two mixed drinks, and 9 jello shots.

That many drinks along with your meds might just land you in the Hospital or worse. Just try and take care of yourself, many bad things can happen when you are in situations like you are.
Hope you stay safe. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

My thoughts are still going so fast. How is this even possible?! I had more than I posted above by now. had a bunch to eat too, but shouldn't I be chilled out by now anyway?

Feel like I'm on top of the world, like I could kick anyone's ***** that tried to hurt me. Safe in room now, though. Feel great. Getting hydrated so tomorrow won't suck.

How are things going now? I have Bipolar 1 and I have racing thoughts frequently. Be careful with the alcohol.

I'm with you. I drank on Friday in an effort to come down but it didn't work. Yesterday I took a klonopin and that did work, but only until it wore off. i have music looping through my head constantly so i'm listening to my ipod so that i don't have the same song playing back and forth. freewriting helps me get some of the racing thoughts out.
I'm gonna go to the craft store when it opens and get some hemp and start making bracelets. If I can find all my old beads. they're in here somewhere.... __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

It's okay. it actually was pretty helpful. I'll try taking my prn meds after I'm sure there's been enough distance between them and alcohol. __________________ Bipolar 2 (in remission), anorexia (in remission), and trichotillomania, also have conversion disorder that seems to be rearing its ugly head again. 100mg Lamictal |

YES the songs are so annoying!!!! When I'm at work it's even worse because I'm not allowed to play music for my students unless they are on Level 3 - none of mine are, so we have to work in silence and it's killing me more than it's boring them!!!
My freewrites now have gotten weird since I think I'm so awesome and I believe I might be able to absorb everyone's suffering through my energy....but it definitely helped last night to finally sleep. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

Racing thoughts are a PITA!
I don't need an ipod cause I have one in my BRAIN....bPod? Cerebral pod...cPod? LOL Anyway I know it's not funny its HELL and I have found that listening to music on purpose to put stuff I want in my head has helped. One night one of my co-workers played "Happy Jack" by TheWho and OMFG that song pounded in my head until I was like...OK I gotta get a new song in my head or so help me I am gonna jump out the friggin window! My daughter is on a dance competition team at her dance school so you know what gets stuck in my head dont you? All those damn dance tracks...Hokey Pokey, Wash That Man, When Velma Takes The Stand, We Love Boyz, Be Good To Mama....oh geeze I love to watch all the young ladies dance (and they are REALLY good too) but I don't need those songs racing thru my head! Then at times its like my brain has hit the scan button on the radio...just random crap pops thru my head, some of it useful but most of it just crap. Worst of all I can't think and it sucks! |

It didn't help much, though, and despite being just super happy, my thoughts were just EVERYWHERE and they still are. I couldn't get to sleep then I woke up 4 hours later and I feel rested.

You should be careful with the sleep and racing. It could escalate to psychosis, which is not fun for anyone. That's what happened to me the last time I had racing thoughts. Now I'm recovering from a terrible experience.

Oh. How would I know if I'm in psychosis or would I not be able to tell?

You would start drifting your thoughts into "is someone following me, you have super powers, you can talk to god, you start to make connections between things that aren't real." I don't know if I'd be able to tell if I knew what it was when I was going through it. The first time I was ever manic I became psychotic. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about.

Id din't get to the point of thinking I had superpowers, but last night I was walking alone and thought I could totally take on any potential attacker.
