Quote From: sweetbjchi there i just came across your message and it really hit home for me also. I have been diagnosed with bipolar almost 3 yrs ago and i still have days that my thoughst my brain just doesnt want to stop. you said that you found that music covers it up, i know its hard but you cant cover it up you have to find a way to slow your thoughts down. a few things that i have done is write what i am feeling, sing what i anm feeling, taking walks really helps sometimes if you physically exhuste your self you can slow down your brain. I also know how you feel about the way the meds make you feel but taht is what takes teh longest. when i first started out on meds i could not do anything without getting tired so i would do a task and then go back to bed and get up adn repeat so finally my doc gave me a med that helped with my engery levels and also reduced some of teh doeses taht iam on i have been on teh max doesages for a while but most of teh time when they lower them i become manic or depressed so i knwo hwo long the road is ...just hang in there Thank you for your suggestions. I do write the thoughts down sometimes. The one med I was on made me feel like a zombie so we decided to go off of it. Its amazing on what things come into your head when its in full gear. Not many like to talk about what they go through everyday and I think its very helpful to know or learn on how others deal with it.
