Hi Everyone:) I was wondering if what I am experiencing is what is referred to as racing thoughts with bipolar....
For the last few weeks I have had one idea after another..one day I decide Im going to have a baby and the desire to do so is overwhelming that it feels like the most obvious and inredible thing to do...The next day I am too overwhelmed with the meere thought of having a baby so I forget the idea.
Then most strongly I have thoughts that I have been chosen by Jesus to be saved and I cant stop thinking about church and being healed (Im not usually religous) of my sin that I was a lesbian which in reality have been out and proud for 10 years and then overnight I am disgusted with the whole idea All of a sudden I am proclaiming that I am straight ...and must have been god who has healed me.....I wake up anxious, I feel pumped and exhausted at the same time....I will get 2 kittens#I am a sinner#sorted out my funeral plans#psoriasis going mental#kittens# babies#jesus#hymns#spirits and afterlife# it just goes on and on.....is this a bipolar episode? I would like to know what other ppls experienes are of racing thoughts...can it be just rpid changing of ideas and beliefs and plans? each with their own huge emotional rollercoaster?

They certainly sound like racing thoughts.The thoughts i have are of negative statements made to me in the past.Example: there was this guy who broke up with me and when i called him,he started screaming at me over the phone.When i'm "not myself" that episode always comes back to me and it seems i can't hear anything but his loud voice ricocheting inside my head.But i eventually realized,after a med tweak made me better,that it was ridiculous to think about killing myself because of that guy,he was and still is just an asshole.

I can sort of relate to this....if i dont have a big plan for the future, i freak out, like a visionary who has no vision...its terrifying...I cannot live in the present...just do ordinary things a normal person would do...or my revolves and analyses whats wrong with me over and over....terrible...the only thing that helps is to drug myself up and settle my mind...its like my mind is too active, thinking too much...sometimes I feel when i'm going for a walk that information is downloading into me fast as if i'm getting a crash course in something....years of info crammed into a few hours....i'm wanting a drug that will sedate me, slow the thoughts, let me not be so alert and aware of everything....god help me...

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
