Hi Rincad and welcome to PC

What you demonstrate with the rhyming of words that sound the same but aren't connected e.g. "have lav cav sav" is called clanging or clang associations. It is found in psychosis. I don't think it necessarily implies racing thoughts, although it can be seen in bipolar mania too. What it demonstrates is a loosening of connections between thoughts. Some people describe schizophrenia as a fragmentation of thoughts and feelings and emotions and behaviours so that one thing does not necessarily logically follow another.

Since you have a diagnosis of psychosis already, I would suggest that you tell your psychiatrist what you wrote here (maybe even print it out for them) as they will want to know about it and may be able to suggest something that might help you reduce or stop it all.

All the best
