Like a bike that you're trying to peddle that felt really good but now the peddles are moving super fast on their own and you can't stop it but you just can't jump off....

If that makes sense....
Agreed. I always end up having severe anxiety in a mania because I start to feel like I'm no longer a real person. I feel like I'm going so fast that I can't handle sitting still for even a second. It's terrible, especially since I work so I have to pretend that nothing is amiss.
