Tell me about your racing thoughts. How are they the same as, or different from, relentlessly obsessing over a specific subject? For example, getting stuck on a topic, event, conversation, whatever your mind is stuck on. Do the racing thoughts/obsessing feel the same, or not? What are some ways you cope when your thoughts are out of control?

Mine vary. Often, when I am psychotic, it's old trauma beign relived and experienced as current. So, I think I am being tortured all over again. That was 8 years ago. But when my brain gets going, there is no stopping it.
Other times, I relive other people I feel mistreated me. I never tell anyone off. Unless I am manic. That is part of why writing this book about the hospital has been so good for me. I can put down my feelings in a calm way and lay them out. Usually, rumination is a sign of manis or psychosis in me. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

I am excited about your book. Wish I had it right here, I'd be reading it. I relate to your post. For sure. And yes..."rumination" is the word I was looking for and couldn't think of. __________________ |
