My mind races very quickly jumping from one thought to another.Its hard to stop. I don't know if its anxiety or depression or ADD which causes this. I feel helpless and can't shut my mind off these random thoughts.Do any of u feel the same thing?

I experience that frequently I have bipolar and I believe a bit of OCD because of the repetitive thoughts or I just go on and on with obsessive thoughts. It gets mentally exhausting my mind usually is speeding at what feels like 100 mph with thoughts and ideas but that’s also how I know I’m manic as well because I’m flying also with my speech I start talking really fast people usually catch it before I realize it because to me it’s my norm.

I have had that issue several times and I know how uncomfortable it is. Oooo, I really dislike it. I go for a walk when it happens. It helps 'a little', along with deep breathing or meditation apps.
