I find that thought after thought keeps happening. I can have an entire conversation in my head within seconds. And as I am trying to talk to someone it takes half my energy to slow down my thoughts enough to have the conversation in the few minutes it really needs to take. Often they end up getting lost because I skip from A to C or D or E. I do put a lot of energy into keeping my racing thoughts from becoming rapid speech, but I tend to hide symptoms I know are pathological.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
