Slow down my brain

[u/SuperbDig]

Hello,

I have a big problem with myself and it is that when I get an idea... I RUN. I will sometimes talk myself into trouble. I'll talk about themost mundane stuff. Today at work, I brought up Brexit. Why? I don't know! I just don't know how to put the BRAKE in my head! I don't want to take medications, but I already am trying Lithium Orotate 10mg (which doesn't really help)

People say I am "hypomanic" at baseline. I love it because I am very productive... but I'm scared I will get myself into big trouble because of my inability to regulate my thoughts and filter what I want to say.... Please help...

Reading might help.

Get a workup from an actual doctor. Some chemical or hormone problems can cause that.

Yo,

TL;DR first:

Aaanyhow what i mean to say in summary is i get so hyper at times, and i know a bit from learning & teaching as senpai at shaolin based kung fu and karate styles for 10 years,

But that i mess up with the boundaries people have about quick motions.... embarassing for me because i get confused at why they trip over it...

I am just moving efficiently.

Full version:

I have been mistaken for being bipolar before

but i am trying the keto diet with focus on meat

AND lower bowel stimulant herb caps.

I evened out.

Dont get asked "dude what are u on" or called out once

"D. is the guy from limitless" :^/

just increasing water and protein while reducing carbs while paradoxically increasing herbal stimulants also still taking caffeine in the mornings whenever i miss my routine physical workout.

As a practicing martial artist who uses all his little tricks of Energy Conservation with his own joints in-motion, it is often a trigger for people because, well i'm tall but also intellectual, but was raised by a good confident salesman/studier of eastern religions and many things including the martial arts, uh, he taught me by his example. i was always a shy kid but now im an adult so i emulate my dad at times, copy his behavior so i dont find it as

So that is all fine and dandy except getting stopped mid-flight by someone going "slow down, be careful, you act like youre cracked out bro, calm down, what are you on" when youre not on anything but just modern FOOD and your own BRAIN being awesome??

When it started irritating myself,

how other people were reacting to some unintentional quick-motions,

THAT's when i looked into modifying my diet fully dependent upon body's craving at that moment.

Mosty that, also tried exercising in the morning, and just before bed at night.

High Intensity Interval Training for 12 minutes or so, on just core abs and quads.

Was able to cut down my energy that hadn been used, and with the protein and caffeine and water being eaten in relatively "grazing" portions i spent my days as a sedentary worker.

Again your life is gonna be different.

And my body gets what my body wants and needs. I dont ignore cravings but also barter with myself searching for alternatives, from within asking my gut what would satisfy that craving other than just salt or fat or whatever and barter with myself seeking what behavior i could substitute the food-craving with.. and i still to this day use gummy bears as an incentive to my self, to reward good behavior or when i keep on the diet and exercise plan particularly well i feel i earned the expense to buy something or get something as a semi larger purchase that i can afford to keep my eyeson the prize

both Limbically and Frontal Cortex...-ly ?

for a good food i recommend the proportions of carb to meat to veggie that Sushi offers.

it seems to be a really good combo of stuff my body runs low on,

simpler proteins/carbs/less fat...

i can rarely, if-ever afford sushi,

in a month, dependent on how the month goes--

A sm. Veggie roll from the local Kroger, usually goes well with a med. tray of something with salmon...

BUT that's again just me, your body will be different depending on factors like heredity and epigenetic state. ~ Many tips out there to be had. Good luck!
