Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
