Thank you for the input, genetic. Actually, I don't drink cow's milk unless I am out of town, and have with cereal. I drink almond milk. Otherwise, my drinks of choice are water, coffee, or lemonade. I have never been a fan of milk and I don't eat many dairy products otherwise, cheese only occasionally. It is interesting, though, because I know of many with dairy allergies.
As for the racing thoughts, I don't mind so much unless these wake me up at night. Klonopin usually does the trick, but not every night. Important tasks do hold my attention much longer, so I guess there is discipline in controlling racing thoughts-who knows? We're opposite in our experiences. When I have a circumstance that calls for quick thinking, my thoughts focus only on the event at hand.
