Sounds like me when I was in a bad place. Do you need support?

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Appreciate the offer, but I'm all good. It's more that my thoughts just race and leap from one subject to the next, and it gets extremely tiring to deal with if I don't have something to distract me.

It still sounds like its exhausting and debilitating.

It can be and my meds help with it but it will never fully stop and I've come to accept that.

Damn. I‘m sorry. Good luck to you buddy.

This is very old but it was a good pick-me-up to read someone having the exact same experience as me. Down to the fact that meds help, but don't fix it completely, and I've accepted that. Solidarity.
