When regular spiraling isn't sufficient to describe the velocity and scope of the mental chaos — hyper-spiraling is the overclock, the state where thoughts are coming so fast and interconnecting so wildly that you can't track a single thread before three more appear. It describes the ADHD-adjacent, anxiety-fueled experience of a brain running at 200% with no clear exit. Distinct from peak spiraling in that it emphasizes speed and volume rather than intensity of feeling.
