Am I alone that, when I have something bothering me or something in my life going on, my thoughts just do not STOP, I laid in bed last night and my mind kept going on and on for over 4 hours, the sleep that I did get I feel like was half sleep, like I was sleeping with one eye open the whole time. My forehead hurts and my eyes are puffy, I am on Zyprexa and usually it shuts my mind off but I missed a dose and it all starts again. I have been sleeping 12 hours like I am depressed, so I wanted to get up early in the morning and this is what I get. It is the start of ending up back in the hospital staring at the four walls. I have been OCD about the things that are happening in my life right now, I cant stop thinking about them, it goes on and on and on. What do I do?

I have racing thoughts too, and sometimes for no reason at all! Try spending some of your energy on exercise or something. I have trouble getting them to stop too though, so any advice you receive would be just as helpful for me.

listen to the radio and maybe do some housework to it

Racing thoughts are hard. I try listening to meditation tracks, or imagining a giant filing cabinet and putting my thoughts into it one by one. Sounds silly, but sometimes it works. I also really like Dan Gibson's Solitudes. Music combined with nature sounds really relaxes me.

It's interesting, I usually get racing thoughts for no reason. When something's bothering me, it's possible to shut it out and get some sleep, but when nothing's wrong at all, I lie down and my thoughts go crazy. Sometimes I feel like they're not my thoughts at all, something's just dumping random fragments into my head.

My medication Latuda has helped a lot with constant thoughts. When not I take Lunesta to help me sleep. I haven't found a way to shut it up at night. During the day I use reading,tv and solitaire to distract my brain.
