Overactive Brain

I've discovered something I tend to do when I'm not writing. Actively creatively writing, that is, and that is I start monologuing in my head about social justice as if I were talking to a prominent tv show host. Like Stephen Colbert interview style. And I would get super detailed about everything that's wrong with the world - racism, sexism, stupidity, greed, homo/trans-phobia, global pandemic/warming/unrest/genocide and so on. And it would go on inside my head for hours! I think in a blunter term it's borderline what people in manic mode do without the out-loud raving and ranting. My brain is raving and ranting and running in circles, but it hasn't translated into me visibly doing anything yet. And I can get myself out of it if I want to. It's not as involuntary as people with actual bipolar disorders get. And once I do write things - anything, but mostly my novel and not fanfic or other things - it stops and goes away. 

I don't know if that's a sign of more mental health issues than I realize. I'm a little afraid to ask my doctor whom I have an appointment with tomorrow. I might mention it but emphasize that I don't really get dragged into any panic or anything like that. Hmm, we'll see. Now let's just try to actually work today - because that seems to solve almost every single one of my problems, doesn't it? Just actual working.
