Avatar f tn Occasionally, I have this feeling that my thoughts are racing through my head at a millions miles an hour, and there's this roaring sound, like sticking my head out the window of a fast-moving car with ear plugs in. When this happens, I feel like I'm moving in slow motion, and seeing things from farther away.

Avatar n tn Are racing thoughts the same as obsessive thoughts or intrusive thoughts? When I say Obessive thoughts I mean like thinking about the same stuff every day, day after day, it could be a person or a dream that you think of. I know obtrusive thoughts are thoughts you really don't want to think about, I have them on and off but what are racing thoughts?

Avatar m tn I'm just wondering if anyone can share some of their physical symptoms of anxiety? Such as constant headache, muscle aches, etc...I can read a book or google the symptoms, but i think it would be better to hear it from some of you here in our forum. Any help is better than no help. Thanks!
Avatar f tn You may need an increase in dosage or a change in medication, he will know. Your anxiety is causing you to have these racing thoughts, and I hope your therapist has taught you some relaxation skills. Also, it's best if your medication is prescribed by a psychiatrist as he knows best what will work for you, and is most knowledgeable on the medications. There are many here who have and are suffering with this, I'm sure they will jump on here with some great advice for you.
Avatar n tn She has been diagnosed with clinical depression but i feel it has developed into Bi-Polar Disorder. She has racing thought and anxiety. She worries about things she has done in the past and cant sit still for very long periods of time. And while she was on meds she consumed large amounts of alcohol and im at my breaking point. Im ready to just jump ship and let the cards fall where they may but then i have the kids to worry about.
Avatar f tn what if i just have racing thoughts in general? i cannot stop them. i can function as they say normally.
Avatar n tn m not saying that doctors have everything about the human mind or body figured out, or that a pill will solve everything (I prefer to stay off as many meds as I can and still be healthy), but telling someone that is troubled by thoughts that they have had for three years and telling us in this forum that we simply need to train ourselves not to have racing thoughts or bad thoughts, is not helpful or safe.
464824 tn?1206825489 Anxiety is all about worrying. Racing thoughts are very common with anxiety. Anxiety is the root of many disorders and symptoms that can easily be mistaken for other more serious diseases. Just because you have racing thoughts doesnt mean you have BP or something like it.
Avatar f tn I used to have terrible anxiety and racing thoughts. One simple trick that helps me is to look around the room and say, out loud, what you see. I know it sounds strange, but it takes your brain and refocuses it on something real and grounded. I also find that running ice cold water on my hands helps.
Avatar n tn I have been synthyroid or levoxyl for at least 18 years and my current Dr keeps me high normal, but my mind races and I can't sleep well (has been going on for months now) . I have been reducing from 137 to approx 119 over a period of weeks by chipping off part of the tablet and my thoughts have calmed a bit, but I seem to get tired more easily. Does anybody else have this racing "thoughts" problem?
Avatar n tn I am experiencing racing thoughts, discomfort with my heart beating, clammy, smoky taste in my mouth after sleeping, horrible Anxiety buzz (Which begins with the racing thoughts), sore temple, tightness in head. My question: Am I having side effects from Prozac or withdrawal from Vicodin. How much time should I give the Prozac to work, I've never taken an anti-depressant before, out of fear, but I do love to live life, I'm confused on what to do with these symptoms.
Avatar m tn It all started when I had my first panic attack about 3 months ago, and this was followed with the physical symptoms of anxiety, the stomach pains, body pulsations etc. But now those have gotten better, but I still think about the anxiety constantly even though I have nothing to worry about. Some days I feel like I'm going crazy (even though I know I'm not) and yet my mind still has these scary, violent thoughts constantly passing it through it.
Avatar n tn he says theyll take a week or whatever to work in. do racing thoughts usually accompany panic anxiety? i thought they were only involved in like, schizophrenia or the like... any comments?
Avatar n tn s true if a person has racing thoughts only during panic attacks that is anxiety disorder. A person with bipolar disorder has racing thoughts when they are manic. I don't know if the thoughts you describe are obsessive or if they are psychotic. They do sound a bit beyond anxiety disorder. It depends whether they are just disturbing thoughts or they seem real at the time or in general. It complex and depends on your level of reality testing in general.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the replies! It's so funny. The day I posted this. I did a search on what was going on with me and found this website/forum and there was a post about the same thing but a little different. This poster posted something that just rang true to me and every since then. I have been able to control the racing thoughts. It's like my brain just clicked. I still am having panic attacks, racing and irrational thoughts but some of the harder symptoms are going away.
Avatar m tn Then one morning when I was driving to work, I had those racing thoughts after a restless night, I suddenly started feeling like I was about to pass out. Sudden palpitations started with shortness of breath, hot flashes, blurry eyes, extreme pressure in the neck, shoulders and head. I was in the middle of driving on highway and felt like i was going to lose my control. It scared me to death. I ended up in the ER. No body knew what kind of episode was this and I was not able to explain.
1110499 tn?1258415536 when i lay down to go to bed, my thoughts are racing, racing, racing and i start thinking about it and i cant sleep untill im soo tired i just fall asleep. When i wake up my eyes are like that and throughtout the day im kinda okay, but whenever its time to go to bed my thoughts just race too.
Avatar f tn Stopping obsessive thoughts is difficult for anyone but it is more complicated with a person who has daily panic attacks and is bipolar. If you are in mania it is going to be difficult to stop them. It is difficult because you may swing the other way fast. If you do something or take a medicine that pulls down the mania it may cause some symptoms of depression and back and forth and so on. Try to meditate, do some grounding techniques and breathing techniques if you can.
Avatar f tn I have suffered from anxiety for a couple years now and just recently I am having issues with invasive thoughts. My thoughts will start racing incredibly fast and I will get random songs, phrases, or conversations stuck in my head and I don't know how to make it go away. I get scared and go into full panic mode and feel like I'm going crazy and it makes me want to cry and sometimes it makes it impossible to concentrate or sleep.
