Racing thoughts were present during all my manic episodes. I think they create a cacophony situation. Intensely severe racing thoughts seem to turn into a type of psychosis themselves, when reality and the present is completely unclear.

It reassuring to hear from you BirdDancer. I also have experienced a cacophony of racing thoughts turning into a type of psychosis. I used to think that if I thought faster I was smarter. (Haha)
Suddenly I become very 'smart' and have unusual insight into the 'true' nature of reality. I can get obsessively focussed on obscure 'calculations' and work hours into the night on them.
The worst part is being deluded about one's own reality testing. It is a cruel disease in that sense. If you know you are unwell, I'd say that is a lot better than to be very unwell and not know it. It's called 'lack of insight'.
That's why I take this little pill every day.
