Are there others with bipolar here?!
Question: Have you ever had "brain chatter"? The best I can describe this is as if you have a song stuck in your head. You can do other things, talk to ppl, etc, but it keeps looping. Brain chatter would be if you turned down the volume a little and sped up the rpm until it's not recognizable. Add 50 more songs to the mix, only it's not songs, more like noise, and occasionally you can almost make out a word or two.
For those who do know anything about this, it's not schizo or hearing voices! It's an irritation some ppl with bipolar get when not euthymic.

That's sounds pretty normal to me. Practice clearing your mind, and make a mental check of your five senses to anchor yourself to reality.

I am biploar too. i have various different effects. I take medicine and i ask the lord alot for help and i stay under control better now. try focusing on what times and what triggers this and talk to a professional on this after tracking it and see what they tell you do to avoid tiggering the eposode
I was told by someone who said their therapist called me bipolar. Which I thought was pretty cool, since having a bipolar schizophrenic alter-ego evil twin could come in pretty handy to take the fall for stuff.
Yes, I know what you are talking about.
I was diagnoised with bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder a few months ago.
I would have this brain chatter too, but it usually only gets really bad when I try to sleep. It gets completely out of control, where my thoughts get so fast and jump around so quickly that I can't even really recognize what I'm thinking about because they come and go so quickly.
It would start off with just normal thoughts but they get faster and faster until it becomes an almost humming inside of my head and I just keep tossing and turning, and the only way to ignore it is to get out of bed and do something.
I had chronic insomnia since late middle school because I couldn't sleep, and it was because of my racing thoughts. I would self medicate with tylenol PM and other sleep aids just to fall asleep.
I finally get a perscription for Seroquel, and it helped me so much. I can now sleep at night more easily and my mind isn't racing as often and i'm much more stable.
i really don't now a lot about the disorder, however my Friend always hears this squeaking sound in her head as if there was a fire alarm set off. she tries to ignore it but she cant so i always advise her to see a doctor but she never listens.
