I have a hard time determining when I have racing thoughts, but my therapist says she can tell by the way I talk. Apparently, I have tangential speech when my thoughts race. For example, I might say something like, "Yesterday, I spent some time hanging out with my dad. We went to the mall and bought some stuff. I did eat like 2 apples for breakfast this morning. Also, I'm going to buy a new iPad. But 2 days ago, my mom said that she lost her phone charger, so I had to go in the garage to help her find it."

I don't really notice it in the moment, so someone has to point it out to me. But usually the thoughts are random. It's like I want to say or do a billion things at once, and I can't seem to pick which thing to say or do, so I try to say or do all of them at once. lol.
