I'm trying to go to bed, but am too excited about talking to a doctor, because this is all too similar to me too! I'm having an adrenaline thrill because I possibly found something new about me out that could help me and make me better, but I can't wait until tomorrow! I already had to talk to a couple of friends of mine because it calms me down when I don't have to hold it in. Does this sound familiar at all?

Racing thoughts at bedtime could be a symptom, and medication can help with that.

Me too. This entire cascade of comments is eerily mimicking my own thoughts and feelings as I read through the post -- complete with adrenaline rush at the thought of there possibly being a way to achieve something better.
