Feeling out of control

[Lookingforhope20100]

I'm feeling a bit out of control. I have a boat load of energy I'm shaking. My mood is all over the place, I'm talking fast and rambling, I can't focus on anything and yet in super focused on everything. I can't calm down I just want a hug (physical contact helps me calm down most times) but I feel if I'm close to someone I won't be able to control myself around them I don't want people to know that I have bi polar unless in the one to tell them but I just want to calm down my heart is racing and my mind is all over the place.

Hi looking for hope you need to get a circle of friends who can understand how things are affecting you just now ! Try and slow your thoughts a way of doing that is meditation there are lots of those around a guy I can recommend is Glenn Harold he is very gold at calming you down through meditation I truly hope you can find hope and iwish you well !

Bi-polar disorder is more common than people think it is and it shouldn't be shameful to let people know that you are bi-polar. If it's a real friend, partner, family member, anyone that you care anything about, they should be more understanding and want to help you instead of judging you and/or running away from you. You need someone you can confide in so that you can seek help. No funny business but if I were there I'd hug you. I know all too well how that feels. In my case, I play mobile games on my phone to try to detour me from my thoughts, sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't but it's always worth a shot. One thing that normally helps me is to sit in my room or somewhere alone and write down my thoughts and feelings. I cry really hard while I'm writing it all down and I've written 25 pages in 1 sitting. After I'm done, I wad up the writing and dispose of it where it won't be seen by anyone else because some of the thoughts are very sad and scary. At least try to write it down? You need an outlet of some sort. I pray that you find some help so that you can find some peace in your mind and joy in your heart. Keep yourself busy and your mind active on more positive thoughts if you're able to. Push through. You can do this.

I confided in a co-worker he doesn't have any mental disorders or anything but he is a good guy to talk to and really helped a lot and I actually did write down what I was feeling but not in a way that it was to me from me but more to my dad up in heaven and it made me feel a lot better

How are you feeling now

Are these symptoms new, or more intense than what you may have experienced prior? If you haven't already done so, consider calling your doctor. You had mentioned a change in your meds, and it might account for this change in symptoms. Meanwhile, to help calm you, a temporary distraction of some sort may help. As someone else mentioned, an online game app might help. Or reading a story or upbeat article aloud (not "loud," just actually saying the words so you have to focus more on the task). Choose subject material that is positive. Steer clear of any caffeine. If this isn't a new experience, remember that you have felt this way before and remember what healthy coping methods worked then to help you get back to feeling like yourself...then do those. You are a strong person. Right now you are going through a tough time, but you have a strategy that will get you through this. First thing is to be sure whether it is the change in meds or not. Keep us posted. We all want you to feel much better!
