I've found meditation and relaxation slows my head down.

Thank you all for your input and suggestions. It seems that there is a common response, that being meditation or relaxation. Well I did it and bought the Meditation for Dummys book. I will be reading it this weekend and trying my hardest to settle myself down.
I did go to a phyciatrist this week and she gave me new meds, Klonopin and upped my Celaxa dosage. It hasn't seemed to do anything yet, but we'll see.
Thanks all for your input.
I especially liked the "drunken Monkey" reference, so true!!

A Drunken Monkey.

How cool. That is the perfect way to describe the racing voices in our mind that constantly "bug" us about stuff. Mine "bugs" with "junk worry". Stuff like---you need to call her, you need to vaccum tomorrow, the chair would look better over there but then you would have to change that picture---and the next thing I know I am mentally redecorating my bedroom when I am suppose to be going to sleep.

Keep us posted on the effect meditation has on this drunkken monkey of yours
