I've had racing thoughts for so long I can't even fathom thinking without them. I also have had times where my racing thoughts wake me up and I can't go back to sleep. It's frustrating. But, yeah, my thoughts race 24/7. But, they are sometimes racing only at 60 mph and other times at 100 mph. Just depends.

Also, I don't drink milk very often or eat cereal with milk often, either. I love cheese but don't buy it because one of the people living in my house ate a 12 lbs bag of cheese in less than 2 days (not my husband or kids or mother-in-law, but my worn out his welcome houseguest,) and that's $12 gone that we could have used for many dinners.... I eat yogurt only occasionally and really don't like it very much. So, probably not lactose for me.
