[MyPOV]

So, I am wondering if anyone has this experience:

I have two/three narratives running in my sometimes.

One is top of mind, it's the narrative that thinks people are talking about me, the other is analytical and knows that's probably not the case.

These trains of thought kinda are always there -- sometimes my analytical mind is in completely control and I am in a 'single reality' so to speak -- other times are running at the same time, and sometimes the top of mind is control and I get paranoid, anxious and totally screwed and that normally ends in me completely blowing my top (either directed at my wife, or something/one else).

And other times I have no train of thought (or the analytical train is really slow, overloaded and broken down).

Does this sound familiar. I am thinking this is different between being 1) Normal (analytical), manic (top of mind) and depressed (no/slow trian.

Discuss -- haha.

Well... I don't know about this. I'm an older person myself. But I've certainly had a variety of different tracks my mind has pretty-much always run along. And, unfortunately, there are at least a couple of different pairs of them that seem to cross back-&-forth over one another... which creates havoc as the trains of my thoughts run along the tracks & keep crashing into one another. The results of these repetitive collisions have been, & still are, some of the more disturbing aspects of my mental processes. The one good thing is that, now that I'm aging, a lot of it just doesn't really matter any more. It all just simply is what it is. So even though the collisions still occur, they're mostly of no particular consequence anymore... if that makes any sense...

I have many baskets of thought open at any given time. Often I have to collect the small baskets and put them in a big basket because they begin to control me, as opposed to me controlling them.
But sometimes the smaller baskets become too big for the one large one.

That's why I was Dx. SzA because I can illogically and logically the same time.
