Think-racing out of depession
“Depressed? Think faster thoughts, and your mood may improve.”
Hunh! Simple, elegant, worth a try. I guess it’s very similar to “Depressed? Try doing some physical activity.” That works too: people work out, for example, to lift their mood; or clean house like a whirlwind. Still, thinking faster. I’d never thought of that.

Hm. I remember while I was pregnant, and shortly after giving birth, my thoughts were too fast – I felt quite out-of-sync because my body and movements were “normal” and my thoughts were going hyper-fast. I found it quite disorienting and a little scary.
