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

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.
