I still have ups and downs but I am better able to cope with them... however... one issue I have had is I cant seem to get control of: it always starts the same way: first things start to seem really far away and really small next sounds start to seems really loud, and very FAST, however these sounds are still somehow in sync with the normal way that you see things... even though they are louder and faster... its hard to explain finally my thoughts start to racing and jumping from thought to thought randomly what can I do to help myself deal with this and lessen it effects? -------------------- We must push toward a better future for man kind, a future that can never take place, because mankind is a beast full of hatered, its heart is dark and lifeless, and mankind will never put aside its petty differences, oh no they have pride to save, they could not care less about any persons other than themselves... -Eric Groce 2005

Bipolar is something that will gradually get worse over time without meds. I combination of therapy and meds is one of the only ways to control it. It sounds like you may need to go back to your doc and perhaps get back on medication, that will help the racing thoughts. Trace -------------------- Listen in deep silence.

Bipolar is not one of those conditions that can be managed successfully for a long time without meds.

If it gets worse, it would be an idea to go to the doctor. Trace -------------------- Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind....
