" Sometimes I get the racing thoughts, many people do - not only people with a personality disorder, when I get racing thoughts I try and write poems or I do something else to unwind like distract myself. On really bad occasions I have self harmed...but I try not to do that "

" I used to get them when I was a teenager very badly. Its still very difficult for me to concentrate. I always used to describe it like I was thinking several different things all at the same time. I used to write in my journal a lot, that helped to focus all the voices and thoughts into one thought, so when I was trying to think about something clearly I could concentrate better. People still tease me affectionatly about how I change the subject so fast to something completely unrelated. "
