My therapist tells me that a common aspect of BD is getting "stuck" on a single subject and not being able to let go of it. The subject can be a concern, a worry, an anxiety, a conversation, sounds from a concert, a project....anything/everything.

I find my brain doing that a lot. I think of it as "brain stick" because it's like driving a stick shift and getting stuck in one gear.

On the surface, the phenomenon of which I speak can look like an obsessive thought, but it's s a bit different in that there's often sound, image, and/or some type of repetitious hamster-wheel brain activity going on. (And it's not attached to a compulsion.)

Does anyone else, others with BD, experience this?
