I feel the same way. Especially here lately. My head is filled with angry thoughts. I feel mad a lot of the time. I don't know what to do about it.

I feel for you both... I have been similar myself recently.... only way that helped me was going inpatient (not saying thats what you need to do) and time to heal

just know you are not alone with these thoughts x

I know what you mean...@ certain times if ppl could read my mind I'd probably be committed for life....other times they'd think I was high..

if my thought-dreams could be seen,
they'd probably put my head
in a guillotine.

Tell me bout it.

what i've tend to notice is how many more ppl are out there that need medication! lol....i'll be talking to someone, or get to know someone and after awhile it's like yup, they are bi-polar too, with deep seeded anger problems, they really need to talk to someone! Their emotions are all over the place...way worse than mine before medication! lol

Does anyone else do this? BTW, I don't go around saying it out loud ;)

You know what they always told us in DBT was

"a thought is just a thought"

It's just a thought and the brain produces millions of them we aren't in control of all of that. Just say A thought is just a thought when an uncomfortable one goes through your head. Let it run past you like a train on the tracks let it go on past and don't jump on.

I have had tons of wacked out thoughts and at times I have allowed those thoughts to make me feel even worse about myself than I had been feeling. I've come to accept for the most part that regardless of what I want or wish doesn't matter to my thoughts. As long as I have the computational power to have thoughts then I will continue to have bizzare ones. I also firmly believe that whether a person has bp, ocd, depression, schizo, or has no mental disorder doesn't matter and that all of us have unwanted, twisted, violent, or goofy thoughts.

Yeah, rainne, I do the quiet diagnosing, too. I was shunned and I've dx'd many of them with bp, ocd, and depression. Am I right? I was about one of them at least. I'll probably never know about the others nor do I really care to investigate.

I think It's those who proclaim how "normal" thay are that have the real problem...what is normal? what is our standard of comparison??

My mom has no compassion for other people she is totally self centered & gets stressed over everything...I mean really , the appearence on MY house stresses her out??? she doesnt even live here...

& I also do the silent diagnosis thing...it adds entertainment to my day

* I ment to add ...& she considers herself "normal"

Hey Sammie, I just love when those "normal" people tell us to snap out of it or that we just have a bad attitude. The world would likely be a safer place if more "normal" people sought therapy.

I honestly think everybody should see a therapist if they can afford it or have medical coverage. There's nothing like getting stuff off your chest & sometimes having a (cant think of the word) non judgemental/outside opinion can really help....I noticed when I was in inpatient treatment I was alot more open with my fellow patients than I am with my friends & family...I guess It's cause I knew that most of them could relate, either through emotions or actual experiences.
There is still stuff my husband doesnt know about from when I was a teen & I had one of my manic episodes...especially the hypersexuality.
