Define racing thoughts ... how u c it... ?
Racing toughts. I see it as my mind just keeps going on about a subject. Sometimes to fast for me to be able to write down on paper.


I see and feel it as a hyper excitement. My mind is either thinking everything about a subject that I know and I feel almost elated. Or if I can't find any information about that subject I start to feel afraid.
Reply:No.





Racing thoughts are like, hyper mental activity, running over and over lists, thinking about everything you need to do, things you haven't done, the kid that tried to trip you getting on the bus, the lady that pulled out in front of you and you nearly hit. That last thought triggers that accident you did have where you hit the deer, and that one makes you flash back to the accident you where in with your friend where they were almost killed. You still wonder if you didn't sustain neck injuries, then you wonder if that's why your neck is hurting now, then you start thinking about how bad your back hurts, maybe that's related, but then, that could be all the years of riding motorcycle...
Reply:This is a daily problem. And when I have thoughts racing through my head it is hard to keep my frustration out of my voice and out of my facial expression. But showing it only damages most real-time communication. I can recognize when close friends or family are having the same problem and will throw that in and then we try give each other a longer speaking space.. But too often when I say to anyone else that my thoughts on the topic are racing, they will take it as a signal to shut down the conversation rather than pick up on what I said. My dear sweet hubby says it is due to information overload. He says my siblings and I simply have "more education than is allowed" in the normal groups we communicate with. I think that assessment is horrid but I dont have a better explaination.
