I had a very intense session yesterday. Usually I'm tired, but last night my mind was so busy I barely slept. Today I can't seem to quiet my mind - it's going a million miles a minute, and my 'voices' are going non-stop (internal, not external voices).
I can't seem to quiet my head. I almost feel manic-y, but I'm not bipolar. It's not a happy wired, either, more of a 'can't shut off my mind' wired. My thoughts are absolutely racing, too. Normal? |

This often happens to me after therapy. I am wired...but then eventually I crash (either late that night or the next day). Kind of like the adrenalin rush from the whole experience of therapy runs its course and then I really bottom out.

I think it's normal. I have therapy in the evenings, and afterwards I usually have trouble falling asleep, I dream about therapy, and I wake at 3 or 4 am.
I think it just gets my mind going and it doesn't want to stop. It is exhausting. |

I get this too, when I have a good session. I won't want to go straight home, I'll always want to go somewhere afterwards, even if that means to the grocery store. It's like I feel so free in the couple hours afterward, you know? With a bad session, it's the opposite. If I can feel the "high" coming, I'll always say to myself "enjoy it while it lasts, because you'll just end up back to normal in a couple hours".

There's been many a time that my t has told me that I need to go home and walk briskly for about 15 minutes, or go for a swim. Anything to burn off that nervous energy.

Oh yes! I go through this every Tuesday night after group and it sometimes lasts throughout the following day....like now. LOL...and after my Thursday individual sessions.
Mind racing, going a mile a minute, not able to quiet the thoughts...no end in sight....unable to sleep....etc.
