Absolutely!!! I frighten myself with my own thoughts daily. It can be terrifying! Do you have an outlet? I'm an artist and writer and recently I've been flooding with poetry, mostly intensely dark in nature. It's really quite a release -- taking something so deeply-seeded in your psyche and getting it out. Plus, now I have some great poetry! I believe that many people who suffer from BP and other like disorders tend to be very creative -- a curse and a blessing, yes? Do you think you could do something creative to get a release?

Thoughts can be pleasant and constructive or they can be harsh and destructive. That's why I like to journal and write down thoughts and situations. That makes it easy to sort out the sublime from the ridiculous and bring on the healing.

I live alone and unemployed looking for a job. I spend a lot of time just sitting somewhere thinking. My thoughts consume me a lot of the times.

I agree with tommymott about keeping a journal. I write too, just to sort out the crazy thoughts. It helps when I can actually do it!
