Exactly!! This is exactly how I feel while doing it, my thoughts are not even thoughts while its going on, just little pieces of words and stuff (although when my racing thoughts get fast enough this also happens). And it does feel as tho I am basically absent. I don't notice I'm doing it either. When I do notice I'll try to stop and do something else , 2 minutes later I am doing it again. I rarely sit either normally.

I don't think this is my meds because it's a pattern I get into, last time it was a severe mixed episode, this time manic. I am really thinking it's because my thoughts are so discomposed that I can't function like that.

Timing is a good idea, worth a shot, but I don't know how well that will work since I don't realize till I'm in the midst of it.

Thank you all for your input.
