i hate when my head is that way i try to do so many things and end up accomplishing nothing.maybe i am bipolar too.hmm.

Learn to accept and tolerate boredom and the mind will slow down incredibly.

hey, i think it would be best to talk to your doctor....let him know what is going on....I have never felt that exuberant or up, but I do care! sorry you are running at 1000mph and can't stop...

Have you been this way before?

It sounds like that's a possiblity. Why can't you talk to your doc?

Rubybabydoll! You're not going mad! You are just highly aware of yourself and if you're feeling a bit jittery trying a cup of herb tea or some soothing music or even a bubble bath! I always mellow out in the bath! (I light candles; play music; just soak it up!)
Hope you feel more even keel soon!
PM me if you need to.

I've only just emmigrated here, and I can't access any free health care anyway. My doc is quite judgmental. Don't want to open myself up to more criticism, besides I'm the queen of acting 'ok'. Own worst enemy really

Naw...you are NOT a drama queen! I can tell you are pretty sensible by the way you communicate with others.....
besides....we love exciting types here ...why else would be hanging around online for days at a time!
In fact I think the #1 website for DS would have to be the Depression one.
I've checked into a couple of others and it's like deadsville....really....nobody home!

That sucks about the doc thing. Well, if you want to chat just message -perhaps your just having an odd night you know? Hang in there friend!

yeah my mind never stops wandering too. Even when I sleep it keeps going and going. I hate it. I'm not bipolar though. If you don't feel comfortable with yoru doctor maybe you should try to get another one. Your fella should have patience if he is that wonderful.

Yes I get like that specially when I am stressed out. It is anxiety . I can not think stright and am all uptight. Often people have this when they have depression and things juts get to much. My doctor gives me vailum to slow me down so I can think straight and relax...

I find this helps.... I c ur doctor is not helpful. Go for a walk to get rid of the aggitation and then come and lie down and think of ONE thing and when your mind ownders keep coming back to the same thing. I think of resorting and doing up my unit. When me mind starts to wonder I bring it back to this...

Hope this healps

I feel like my head is going a million miles an hour, can't sleep, I was diagnosed as having agitated depression, also paranoia and keep replaying the day over and over. I was told maybe borderline manic-depressive. you are not alone

From what I understand even people without any form of mental illness suffer from mind racing at night from time to time. This will happen during high stress times. You should really see a doctor and maybe you can be given something for anxiety. Maybe something to take at night.

hi, I just found out I am bi polar and have started new meds, I am suppose to come up with a personal list of people to contact when I feel like an episode is coming on, what they are suppose to do about it I don't know, except maybe listen and give whatever encouragement they can.

You probably just have depression w/ anxiety. They go hand in hand pretty well. That's why I was given antidepressants and sedatives. I used to have sort of manic days, being hyper, mind racing, but not the happy hyper like bi polar disorder. Just constant racing until I couldn't go anymore.
