I cant seem to find any info if this is possible. Maybe im just really unaware of it, but it has never seemed to me that my speech is incoherent. But i definitely have thoughts that race constantly and hardly ever seem to finish one train of thought, like bouncing between subjects or ideas.

Mine manifests itself as random words, phrases, songs, etc., that pop up as internal voices and/or intrusive thoughts.
I too bounce from idea to idea— sometimes related, sometimes only tangentially so— and speech sometimes feels pressured, or like I just have to get it out.
I do lose my train of thought when this happens, and end up feeling like a complete moron— usually I just try to play it off like, “oh, I forgot what I was gonna say,” but it’s literally as if the thought I had just evaporated into thin air.
ETA: it’s strange that this typically only happens when I speak, not so much during writing. It’s probably due to the fact that writing gives one time to create a point/argument while being able to see everything come together in actual words, and thus creating something that might make a bit more sense, if that makes sense

I do have that happen sometimes where i cant recall what i was literally just talking/thinking about. But its pretty rare compared to how often my rhoughts get derailed.

Ah yes, the good ol’ thought deletion, related to thought insertion.
It’s pretty frustrating to have, especially if you’re in the middle of a convo and it just happens.
I can always count on kissing that thought goodbye— it may or may not come back, who knows 
.
Either way, not sure if insertion/deletion is part of the “disorganized” set of symptoms— but usually (in my case anyways) I find that it only exacerbates my confusion of whether or not it’s an internal voice saying something or what.
Being gaslit by your own illness… Good times.
