It’s a really fast sports car.

Do you feel like you have one in your head?

Maybe not an actual Ferrari, but something that goes really fast?

Like all of those thoughts spinning around in your head?

Worrying is likely to be counter productive, but if your racing thoughts seem to be taking over too much of your life, you might want to see a health professional.

Therapy might be an option as well.

And there are other conditions that can cause racing thoughts, so if nothing else is working, you may want to consult a mental health professional.

You can take control of your racing thoughts. It may take some practice, but it is possible. Don’t give up.
