Is there something wrong with asking too many questions?
9 comments so farTo start, I was diagnosed 7 yrs ago with Bipolar Disorder. Been depressed all my life, attempted ******* 4 times in past 22 yrs. Finally am seeing a good psychiatrist and counselor and I think I’m on the right meds. Definitely see the road to recovery. I have lots of racing thoughts and tons & tons of questions. Questions about everything - God, religions, faith, food, soda, war, poverty, abortion, colors, nature, animals, my past, my son’s mental health, my birth parents (am adopted), the universe, etc. etc. the list is HUGE! I do seek answers often, I read a lot, spend a lot of time on the internet & at the library and emailing friends. In the past 3 months I have had my counselor, a priest, a good friend, my mother and my son all tell me that I ask too many questions. That made me upset and sad and lost. Do I just ignore my questions and thoughts? Do I write them done and burn them? Do I keep seeking answers? SEE, I am asking questions here
My brain does not stop. HELP!

There is nothing wrong with questions. That is how we learn things. Do not ignore your questions, as they will still come no matter how much you try to stop them. Writing them down and burning them will not make them go away; it will just make your house smell like smoke. If you have the questions, seek the answers. What your family, friends, etc. are trying to tell you is that you need to slow down (or stop) asking THEM your questions, not stop having the need for answers. What you may wish to consider is who you are asking the answers from, and then find new avenues to persue, so you are not “overwhelming” the ones who have been patient with you so far. Do not stop seeking knowledge; just find other avenues to obtain it.
the stupidest question in the world is the one you didn’t ask !
I think there is nothing wrong with asking too many questions and looking for the right answers. But the thing is, you must not disturb others with your questions. If you have a chance to look for the answers yourself, and read in libraries or over the internet, it’s OK, no one can blame you
You have the right to learn about anything thats confusing you or that you want to know about, as long as you don’t interfer with anyone’s life or disturb her/him
I suggest that you do yoga, pranayama (breathing technique peculiar to yoga) and meditation. Cool down. Allow things to happen and be a witness. Asking questions, even a child does. But, even a child settles down. It is important that you realize there is no answer for many of our questions in the world. Time is the leveler of all things. Meditate and meditate.
I understand asking some of your questions, but others are unimportant, like soda, colors, food. That may be why everyone says you ask too many questions. The important ones you deserve to know the answer. Have your Dr’s put you on any medication for your Bi-Polar disorder?
You are manic right now. asess that and be calm! You are going to escilate if you don’t cool it.
I think its good that your asking alot of questions
but you just ogtta remember there there isnt an answer to everything just yet so dont get yourself too worked up on them. But plus the more quetion you ask the more you knwo the smarter you are and then you can chare your knowledge with the rest of the world 
No you carry on searching, “it is better to ask a question and be a fool for 5 minutes than remain a fool forever”
If your looking for “the answer” and you think your the one whos going to find it after all the millions that came before you didnt your clearly fooling yourself.
I’ll give it to you now, the answer to the answer is :- there is no answer! so give that one up. and neither is it in distorted religions.
go to google video and seach “battle of the bibles” if you want the “facts” about that.
Who was it who said “if i had 80 lifetimes i could never learn all there is to know.
You can live in facts or fantasy not both, i suggest you choose “facts” so deal with reality before reality and the facts deal with you.
You are on your path collecting all your knowledge and object lessons for what you dont want in life, you have a jigsaw puzzel and the picture will emerge when you have enough informtion. I know you dont know at the moment and you have this inner desire to know, trust it and give up the phsycologists because they dont know either and if they did they would be giving you the answers instead of hanging out the therapy sessions to fund their income!
However isnt it funny how when you give “free ” advice people dont take it yet when they pay for it they actually get value.!
So go make a donation to a childrens charity if you want to take this advice!
You could also study some metaphysics, and some pataphysics (the study of no exceptions to the rule)
