Currently hypomanic, and I've been paying some attention to this racing thoughts stuff. Here's what I've noticed so far, I wonder if any of this sounds familiar to anyone else.
- While I'm doing one thing I keep thinking of other things to do and new stuff keeps getting added to my mental todo list. I'm multitasking like crazy and getting a kick out of doing as many things as possible as fast as possible.
- Losing my train of thought a lot while talking or forgetting what the subject was.
- Can't stop my mind to get to sleep.
- If I do manage to doze off it's this sort of half-sleep where my mind keeps going and I have these really feverish dreams.
In general I'm just doing everything at turbo speed, fidgeting a lot, hands are shaking, pressured speech, etc. Before this I was depressed for a month or so and then a major family emergency came along where I had to jump in and it almost immediately turned into hypomania. At first it was really anxious and agitated energy and I didn't immediately recognize it as hypomania, but somewhere along the line euphoria kicked in. Now that the emergency seems to be averted it's mostly fun and games, although I'm really agitated at the lack of time I have to do everything I want to do.
