> Aside from what Link said, which I agree with, I had another thought:

> "Racing Thoughts" can mean different things to different people. It can mean distractibility, with a series of unrelated thoughts following quickly upon one another, or it can mean thoughts on one path, racing through your mind in a little rut, one barely finishing before the next starts. To me, one of those descriptions might sound more like ADD, the other like anxiety.
>I agree with this. I have ADD, ans some people say that "lots" of thoughts are racing thoughts. People just express it diff. ways. I have what my p-doc calls "obsessive thoughts", but he said not like obsessive/compulsive, to him it means I can't get to sleep because I keep thinking of things that other ppl put aside to sleep. I think of things I have to do, things I said or should have said, bills I have to pay, etc. Some ppl would call that racing thoughts. I don't have them so much when I'm on the Adderall.
I think of mania when I think of racing thoughts.Jazzy
