When do you have them most difficulty focusing: when you are manic, hypomanic, depressed, mixed/rapidly cycling, or all of the above?

I get "cloudy thinking" when depressed, like everything is happening around me, but I'm completely checked out and detached.

During the onset of hypomania, I feel sharp and quick-minded, but during Mania or Mixed Mania/rapid cycling, my concentration also gets really difficult, where too many thoughts are going through my head, and I get distracted easily. Currently, I'd describe myself as rapidly cycling, and my focus isn't there. I'm waiting for it to return. I don't think my meds are right.

What's your experience with concentration during different phases of BP?
