Echoing thoughts?

Has anyone ever had thoughts that echo during a manic episode? Sometimes I will think something and it will repeat the same thought over and over and over again. Its really annoying! Does anyone else get this, or anything like it?
Thanks

I get that everytime I get manic, even hypomanic. I asked my psychiatrist about it and from what I understood it's a fairly common symptom. But yeah I find it annoying aswelland find it makes it even more difficult to follow conversations when manic. I find distractions like music can help with it though.

I also can't follow conversations as easily, or my own train of thought really. But yea your not alone, so don't worry too much

Thank goodness, I started describing it to my boyfriend and he got kinda weirded out by it. Its kinda scary realizing some of the stuff that happens in my head doesn't happen with other people haha
thanks for the replies

I don't explain things like that anymore to anyone who doesn't have some form of first hand connection to mental illness. Nearly always they cant understand or just get weirded out and there goes a friend..

Or if you have to tell them, tell them in the.. least descriptive way? I guess you could say. 'I can't stop thinking'.

Ya usually he is pretty ok with everything cause he has a sister with mental illness, and we have been together for a long time, i think i caught him off guard. Sad thing is that my boyfriend had a way better reaction than my own father had when i explained some things. I guess sometimes its better to keep things to yourself, or just keep it to "I just cant stop thinking." I'm learnin that lesson the wrong way.

I find my echoing thoughts at their worst turn into me repeating the same statement again and again and again! I'll be like 'It's Tuesday so I'm going shopping, it's Tuesday so I'm going shopping...' so embarrassing but I really can't help it. I'm sure what I'm saying is super important and no one understands. Or it must be important as it's going round in my head. Crazy.

I am not quite sure what is normal and what isnt anymore. What makes your echoing thoughts different from thoughts that other people cant get out of their mind? I would say I have echoing thoughts, but I never thought there was anything unusual about it. Yes, being manic makes them worse. My echoing thoughts are often about how brilliant I am.

I don't see how mine can be normal. It keeps me awake at night, it keeps me from being able to concentrate on anything, I can barely form any sort of sentence when talking. When it gets bad enough I find myself writing it everywhere, on myself, on paper, on things around the house. Once it got so bad that I somehow ended up carving it into my arm from rewriting it so many times. How is this normal?
Yeah you could say that everyone experiences this to a much lesser degree but the same could be said for almost every psychiatric symptom there is. Lots of symptoms for mental illnesses are just normal experiences that get amplified to the point where it's detrimental to our lives.

This posting has been echoing in my mind for the past few weeks. Yes, I think I do very much have echoing thoughts (not only about this posting, but I keep remembering about it). I just didnt realise how bad it was until now. I always thought it was just normal, but it is excessive. I dont know what is normal anymore!
