Is this you with this problem or is it a computer problem???

If it is you it seems a little obsession/manic related... a rise in OCDish stuff with me can be a precursor to a mixed state sometimes, I posted about it in the OCD section a day or two ago.

Sorry, I'm having a good laugh at this. I tend to get obsessed with weird things when I'm getting manic and start to adhere to strange rituals. My question is-- is there a central theme to all the tabs or are they on random, unrelated subjects?

p.s. Do you have a super computer? I think if I tried this, mine would crash and I would be forced to use my last resort method of computer repair-- i.e. pulling the plug.

I do this like mad. I get an idea!!! Then I must learn more about it!!! Then I read part of a page and do the "Open in new tab" because I don't want to lose where I am.

Then I do something else. Or another idea comes up - sometimes related and sometimes not - so then I will start researching that and opening new tabs.

Meanwhile, I have my basic 10 or so sites that are open most of the time.

I am - as of today - being treated for possible BPD in addition to my Adult ADD. I am told the 'running with ideas' is part of the mania and distractability.
