Just finished reading a support thread about racing thoughts and bipolar. Very sad.

Some very relevant things in here that these people said though...
One mentioned stressors that could trigger them. Another person mentioned no caffeine.
But...coffee in the morning makes me feel human again.
Yes, I can feel my heart racing a bit right now.
What about decaf? What about it?
The purist in me says hell no.
Alright, shut up up purist, I need to get real.
Back to the support forums--someone mentioned focusing on something at night in order to sleep. She said the alphabet backwards or counted or something. I've done that all my life, however the alphabet was far to boring for me and recently I've probably spent an hour or so trying to decide what to focus on to go to sleep.
