Manic? Brain Bombs

This has been happening to me lately and I wondered if it was common... Sometimes I will get attached to a thought, and before I know it, it is not just a thought, it is a tsunami, a forest fire, a bunch of screaming banshees in my head howling and wailing... Out of control, totally. I have learned my lesson about manic rage and so I know better than to let loose on the person who "started" it, but sometimes I have to write it out, and that just makes it WORSE... I suppose these are the racing thoughts...

But sometimes the right person can defuse the bomb, with, like, just a WORD. Oh! Ok, all better now.

I'm wondering if this is not BP at all but perhaps an OCD thing?

me too, inside I rant and rave and compose 'scripts' that I imagine spouting. I succeed in winding myself up so much that my heart pounds, I sweat, and I get so anxious I feel like I'm gonna explode.

Thank you, allison. It's always good to know that one is not entirely psychotic, or, of one is, at least one is in good company... :)

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
