What they feel like ???
For me my mine races on various thoughts and won’t stop that subject till I do it or obtain it, you think full speed and it drains you, all the would if’s and such till you go mad. Sleep can turn it off, but as soon as you wake up away it goes again.

Think it’s rumination and not racing thoughts for me from what you describe

I get flight of ideas. It’s racing thoughts that come out of your mouth in nonstop, drifting, rambling sentences that you can’t stop or can only stop for a moment and then you’re back at it without realizing. Only happens in very tense situations but the thoughts are very fast. Typically on one broad topic but very fast and circular.

@anon80629714, I’ve only experienced racing thoughts one time in my whole life and that was only for a very short time. I don’t get racing thoughts anymore. Racing thoughts is a sign of mania.

Yes. Big problem before meds. My mind would never settle down and it would be thinking all the time. Overthinking everything. It accentuates things like paranoia and other symptoms. My thinking is much slower and more of what I’d consider normal. ie I don’t overthink every single thing all the time.

I get racing thoughts when I’m going through something stressful.
I sometimes feel as if I split into a million me’s. Making it impossible to make a decision or do anything, like go to work.
