Ever? Occasionally?..

my thoughts are always racing I wish I had the ability to occasionally stop thinking

I think a lot. I think more than I do anything else. I’ve cut myself off from other people because I do not want to be distracted. That makes me kind of helpless in certain ways, but I’m not worried. Thinking is a great pastime.
I’m constantly thinking non stop!
I have an obsessive mind that is always worried.
Depakote slows it down considerably.

“Do you ever stop to think”
I think too much.
sometimes fruitless though.
part of my MI
No, in fact I’m donating my brain to science after I die (?) because it’s a perfect specimen-
It’s never been used.

I stop to think often, especially when I sit somewhere on a bench and just watch the nature, I am thoughtless …

Often I get a message or begin to compose a response to a post in a forum and pretty soon I’ve covered two, three or maybe four paragraphs. I know it’s too long but it’s really too short because I haven’t actually said what I meant to and I feel like a maniac because I could sit at this blasted computer for days explaining what I had for breakfast simply because I was thinking about breakfast very deeply and more analytically than anyone ought to ever think about breakfast but it’s what I do. I can’t stop it.
My head starts the race when my eyes open in the morning. It stops at the moment I fall asleep. To my great appreciation, I fall right to sleep without an issue but I am thinking right up to that pivotal moment. And thank God for sleep. Without it, my brain would certainly overload and turn on me completely and I couldn’t blame it.
But wait, do I STOP to think? Much less frequently than I just think, probably sometimes. I am usually doing at least one other thing while thinking.
I think all the time. Mostly about my delusion.
When did the brain study start? Why did it start? How did it start? When will it end? Are they going to sacrifice me? Everyone around me is acting. They all know this reality is fake but they are acting so realistically. I am so confused. Why are they doing this to me?
It’s enough to drive an already MI person crazy. My meds help. It could be worse. But ya, I think. Too much.
