[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 136243, member: 1697"] There is a name for it, but at the moment I cannot remember what- for manic writing. I find if I am manic, and I TRY to type it (or handwrite it) out, it helps me settle inside myself. Yes, it truly IS 1,000 thoughts, and yes, they really DO race thru my head, trying to crowd each other out----- I live hypomania.....usually a little less intense than last nite- and have all my life.....You will notice, I often have difficulty prioritizing or organizing what I wriite? thats becuz all those thoughts are inside my head like bumper cars at a carnival- and none of them, even the very important ones, manage to really show up as being any more important than any other. It is thru putting them out where I can SEE them myself, that I can begin to try to see what I am REALLY thinking and what is TRULY important. AND when others ask uqestions of what is spewing forth, it helps me focus more on each thing. I always think a person who is new to hypomania must feel very overwhelmed, and it must feel like pure chaos has taken over in their head. But becuz I have lived with it ALL my life, I sometimes think if you slowed it down too much on me, I might get very scared by that....becuz I HAVE grown used to my head being so busy. Yes, folks- my posts early in this thread are hypomania in action....spurred a little by my fear (my health issues) and a little by being in race track traffic (the activity level of the rush hour crazy traffic sparked me to also speed up internally) SOmetimes - if my husband is in a good place himself- the simple word "coffee" to him from my mouth- and he takes me out to a coffee shop just me and him--where he lets me just blab nonstop to vent it out, and let it wind down. he does not even TRY to make sense of it, mostly just sits there nodding every now and then. LOL. ANyone else? I am SURE I make them goofy if they try to listen.....becuz it IS all jumbled. It truly is opening the floodgates and letting so much out all at once. I LOL even at myself, becuz..well, I tried so many many medications over the years and they did not help AT ALL andoften made it WORSE..so might as well accept it, learn to live with it and TRY to find a way to take positive advantage of it. Does that help any? by the way, my kids find it amuseing, entertaining.and sometimes even fun......I think it has helped them to grow a quick wit? They can come up with some very snappy quick comebacks and usually they can keep up with their ever changeing topics mom. Now, also- some of the posts in this thread, I was typing more, at the same time people were posting replies to me, so some of my posts, I did not see replies until after I had posted more.
