I really wonder a lot about this myself. I've always had racing thoughts. Even when I'm depressed, which is an odd feeling, because it's like everything else is moving in slow motion but my mind. My body is exhausted and can't keep up with my mind while it's running like a faucet.
Did you find that it was easier to concentrate once things quieted down? That's a problem for me a lot of times, I can't stop thinking, so it interferes with my reading and makes it take much longer than it should. Doing away with that is the only real benefit I can hope for with dampening down the racing thoughts. Otherwise, I really don't know what I'll make of it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, I appreciate it.
