Default Soft Bipolar

HI,

Well that is good that you are sleeping.
Sorry about the racing thoughts. Those are awful.

Here is a great web site about soft bipolar:

Agitation and anxiety can (not necessarily) be symptoms of bipolar.

Quote:
When this kind of anxiety is present with depression, this may be the worst combination of all. Anxiety is a very strong risk factor for suicide when people are depressed. The future looks hopeless and pointless because of the depression; and the present feels unbearable. Again, it's important to know that this combination is very treatable. If you find yourself feeling and thinking like this, and you don't have a doctor or therapist to help you manage it in the short and long term, you should take specific steps to keep yourself safe, including going to an emergency room if necessary.
