I have it too and it's manageable as you say. But I've had panic attacks before and during that time it was unbearable. Thoughts coming in and out so quickly, unable to stop it, two or three songs playing at the same time, it was absolutely awful.

I'm getting meds now and it's so much nicer to have control and structure in my mind. So now it's down to a single song and maybe two or three thoughts at the same time which aren't shouting at me, they're just kind of there in the background.

Wow that sounds awful. I'm curious, what meds do they prescribe for this?

Just antidepressants, for me it's Bupropion.
