not literally, but my thoughts just seem out of control! I can't seem to rationalize anything. Yesterday I was scared to death of confronting an issue. This morning I was manic and had a great idea so that I wouldn't look like the bad guy for the issue. Then tonight I am freaking out about it again thinking no way it is going to work out. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! I can't seem to keep one line of thinking. Does anyone else struggle with being able to problem solve?

i avoid problems all the time - i seem to think that if i ignore them long enough then they eill go away which of course is so far from the truth becasue most times the problems get bigger. I find that if i have someone to talk to (family, friend, therapist) then i can get my thoughts to gether and work on problems better than i can myself.

Yeah, personally I knock myself out w/meds too. It breaks that vicious cycle.
