looping thoughts, thinking the same thoughts over and over, what does it mean???

What would have been funny is to see 3 of these same threads saying the same damn thing.

As far as your problem goes....sounds like your brain needs a reboot....seek peyote.

ok dude hard cold and straight from the hip:
1. brain tumor
2.a viral infection of the brain tissue
3.fungus infection of brain tissue
4.parasite
5.blood flow problem in your skull(or major plumbing leading to it)
6.anuerism
7.small stroke
8. necrotized tissue from a brain injury
so now we must eliminate possible organic causes...any physical symptoms(tastes, smells, sounds, visions, aches, pains,spasms, convulsions, coughing or sneezing) that happen just before your incidents? during? after? as another poster asked, any balance or vision problems? been in a situation in the last couple of months where you took a good shot to the head? any fevers or flus? if you think of anything i left out,let us know......

ok, forget the organic causes.....paranoid schizophrenia...how old are you?

Yeah I am 22 y/o,
As far as physical things, into a car wreck, the car was totalled in March but I only got a small scratch on my body. Another thing is I got a bad temperature in December, 103 degree temperature, was bed bound for a week, not even sure what the cause was since I didn't throw up, didn't see a Dr... Maybe those aren't connected to these issues of the mind... If I these are schizo symptoms is there a way to test for that or is it like bipolar where there is no test for it

OP: I'm fairly confident that you're suffering from Asperger's Syndrome, which is far different from Bipolar Disorder.

Here's a short list of symptoms for AS:
# Not pick up on social cues and lack inborn social skills, such as being able to read others' body language, start or maintain a conversation, and take turns talking.
# Dislike any changes in routines.
# Appear to lack empathy.
# Be unable to recognize subtle differences in speech tone, pitch, and accent that alter the meaning of others’ speech. Thus, your child may not understand a joke or may take a sarcastic comment literally. Likewise, his or her speech may be flat and difficult to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent.
# Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. For example, the child may use the term "beckon" instead of "call," or "return" instead of "come back."
# Avoid eye contact.
# Have unusual facial expressions or postures.
# Be preoccupied with only one or few interests, which he or she may be very knowledgeable about. Many children with Asperger's syndrome are overly interested in parts of a whole or in unusual activities, such as doing intricate jigsaw puzzles, designing houses, drawing highly detailed scenes, or astronomy.2
# Talk a lot, usually about a favorite subject. One-sided conversations are common. Internal thoughts are often verbalized.
# Have delayed motor development. Your child may be late in learning to use a fork or spoon, ride a bike, or catch a ball. He or she may have an awkward walk. Handwriting is often poor.
# Have heightened sensitivity and become overstimulated by loud noises, lights, or strong tastes or textures.

There are in-fact a great many more symptoms and the 'disorder' is something which, if you had not developed it, you would be an entirely different individual than you are today. To say the least, it's all-encompassing. You can learn more about Asperger's Syndrome here: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

While there are some 'treatments,' there is no 'cure.' Light doses of antidepressants and anti-anxiety pills may benefit you, but psychotropics and medicines designed for any other ailment can be risky - just as it's very risky for you to have been taking something such as Zoloft had you been Bipolar. ...For that reason, I would suggest that if you pursue this matter with a psych, that you be very careful in what you allow them to give you (do research yourself and get independent second opinions). Zoloft destroying the minds of Bipolar patients was an example, not an exception. All drugs are experimental when it comes to the end-user, and all drugs are extremely dangerous if you're misdiagnosed as prescribed something which causes 'blowback' when the patient has what you do.

Know that this isn't necessarily bad - it can be difficult, but you developing this isn't horrible. You'll find that those who are/claim to be 'Indigo Children' often have what I'm thinking you've got. It is argued that those presumably like you (if I'm right) are intellectually 'advanced' compared to other humans. It is also argued that those with Aspergers Syndrome are more 'evolved.'

By the way, schizophrenia is an umbrella diagnosis - even though it was originally intended to imply someone has multiple personality disorder (seeming to have two or more unique individuals residing in one mind), it's basically something applied whenever the doctors can't exactly determine what the problem is. I believe Japan recently moved to make the term non-existent in the psychological community due to its overuse constantly being applied negligently. ...but yes, there is a test you could take for Schizophrenia, but in reality you doubtedly would need to take one to know if you are, even in the early stages.

ok, you just hit something....your 103 fever in dec...how long after did the looping, light squiggling to your closed eyes,and feelings of dread start? when you wrecked the car, did you hit your head? did you experience unconciousness? have you found unfamiliar depressions in your skull, or does it feel shaped different if you run your fingers through your hair? any soft spots or raised areas?

obsessive thought disorder.
get drunk and go out in public ...it'll break the pattern.


don't listen to me ...that is my own diagnosis not approved by the Board of Psychatrics....

I do the same thing...obsess on certain thoughts......my doc gave me Ambien...cause at times I get insomnia from thinkin too much about 1 thing over and over ......

I was in a SeaDoo Wreck in 1999...not sure if this has anything to do with with it.

sounds like you are in the beginning stages of enlightenment... enjoy.

The car wreck didn't bang my head but I felt detachment for the next week after that, depersonalization that they say happens in wrecks, but not from physical causes.

Then the fever, after that it didn't seem anything happened, but suddenly very recently like the past month weird things happen like feeling dread late at night and all this hypnogenic imagery. I worry that I might be schizo, the other night I felt I lost my mind but at the end of the tunnel ther is always some rationality and ability to reclaim normalcy

This man is correct.

That's what caused the problem in the first place.

Best to practice this at night as you fall asleep, it will calm you mind down in the morning when you wake up.


Focus your inner attention at your brow, and then pull that inner attention towards the centre of the brain, basically around the pineal gland area, and hold it there for as long as possible. It's not easy to do, but with practice you'll get better.

ok, bubba, heres the deal......go see an MD, not a shrink...you do have some psych problems, but the looping, catatonia, and hypogenic visions are organic(probably)...whatever infection gave you that fever either boiled a chunk of your grey matter, or is currently residing in it(the latter is more likely)....many virus and fungi can take up residence in your brainpan...most can be dealt with....dont wait....get medical assistance now!!! you probably dont want to go to the doc who put you on bi-polar meds, he'll likely jump to the same conclusion i did(schizophrene)..... there is also the possibility you did receive a brain injury in the car wreck, and the fever was a symptom of organic damage really setting in...so dont delay, get medical help....dont pray, meditate, go drinking in public, or try to out manuever your mind mathematically....get to a doctor, now!!!!

You have to see a doctor and quick. Get your ass to an hospital, now. And i mean now.
There are no doctors on this board and google is not going to be of any help. GO! SEE! A! DOCTOR!

Thanks for all your tips, I am seeing a doctor in the next couple days.

Right now it's happening again for the third day in a row, my vision is suddenly detaching and my body falls into a trance. Very strange.

on the other hand most people live in a kind of loop, otherwise theyd be in Arcturus one day, the angelic realm the next, in a harem paradise the third etc...

try visualizing your thoughts instead

if you are scared by the night entities, keep some lights turned on

call upon the angels and your guardians and guides to protect you

you will have instant relief and assurance, you will feel it

hey waldo...listen up!!! not the next couple of days, not tomorrow....NOW!!!! the next bout of catatonia might be the last, or it might not let up.....NOW.....GO TO A DOCTOR!!! if you have had a brain infection for the last month, you are in real danger....if it's because of a trauma, you are in real danger......go to a doctor NOW!!!

I know exactly what you mean. I've had the same problem in the past. I have since learned break out of these loops almost instantly and even to keep these loops going as a sort of mental safe box.

And your right time does fold back on itself and we are reliving the same loop. Just keep in mind that it is different each time and so are you!

No loop is perfect it only keeps repeating itself because it is being fed energy(thought is energy). Whether it is yourself feeding it or some outside source. If the source is outside yourself it could be someone or something trying to keep you boxed in? Have you had any dangerous thoughts concerning the true nature of reality lately? You may be waking up and there are those within the matrix which want you to stay "asleep" because you threaten their idea of reality. And they are under the delusion that their parasitic "ideal" reality is going to last forever. What they don't realize is that these types of "systems" always crash. They are unsustainable like the fractional reserve banking system... all doomed to fail!

ocd

probably brought on by drug use

DUDE YOU ARE MORE THAN LIKELY SUFFERING FROM A SEIZURE DISORDER!!!! PLEASE GO TO THE ER!!! THIS COULD BE SMALL CLONIC SEIZURES THAT WILL DEVELOPE INTO MORE COMPLEX SEIZURES WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT! SMALL DOSAGES OF ANTISEIZURE MEDICATION WILL HELP!! YOU MUST SEE A DOCTOR NOW!

ALL symptoms are symptoms of mercury poisoning.

broken mercury amalgams ? Injections ? Eye solutions ? Tuna ?

Eat selenium !

As Aspergers and schizo also are not diseases -

only symptoms from poisoning

Ordinary M.D.s are not trained for any knowledge in toxicology.

Research Linus Pauling

My thoughts loop every night at bedtime --like I can't shut my head down --its like a video tape that plays on endlessly. Could be events from the past-bills from today-whats it gonna be tomorrow. All sorts of shit. Every night. My Doc gave me Ativan to slow it all down and it worked but you naturally build a tolerance for the drug and need more. My heart will start racing I might even start sweating since in my head all this shit is just running like an out of control train. Best I can do Is make myself tired during the day, whatever that may be. I actually do at times take control and think of something usually soothing or calm, slow my breathing down and really try to control where my head is at . Sometimes its a bitch. My Doc just gave me The Effexor 3 weeks ago which as of today I will tail off since that stuff is pure evil and doesn't really work. The Ativan at least gave me a shot. All natural , excercise , should give you help. Me I'm hooked on Pepsi and pretzels so I'm fukked--

Are you seeing 1111 or 333 or 444?

I know that it can't be a real disease, god wouldn't do that to me when I'm young and not even reaching my prime. But I am still going in for a check up just in case. If god happened to allow this to be something serious, then I will allow him to fulfill his plan. When I was sick back in December, I felt that it was very natural but literal to die, my brain literally turned to mush and I saw how fickle even our minds are, they really are computers. I wonder who's even writing these words, maybe it's a demon, talking about god to mock me.
