I had tremendous racing thoughts when I was in college and when I worked. I would lay in bed and go over and over things that happened during the day and analyze them. And I would get a rush of thoughts at one time and when conversing I was always many, many thoughts ahead of myself. I have to keep stress to a complete minimum to avoid racing thoughts (which is one reason why I'm on SSDI). Agitation and anger can trigger racing thoughts. I don't know if all BP people experience these fluctuations in thoughts. I started getting them around 14-15.
