it just felt like 10 thoughts at the same time, rather loud in my head, completely overwhelming. I can't make sence of what they are saying/thinking, it's just like white noise in the form of thoughts.
When i write racing thought i mean it like they "move" fast and i get multible thoughts at the same time-ish. If that makes sence...

here where I am its normal to get these kind of many racing thoughts when getting a panic attack, its one of the more common reasons why a person has a panic attack.. there are things that can help... its called breathing, grounding relaxation and other self soothing things.
when I get racing thoughts I row my canoe around the lake, go for a walk, take some deep breaths and other things that I find calming to me. this stops the panic and racing thoughts.
my suggestion if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers. they will be able to tell you what you need to do to get this in control based on your own life style, mental and physical health problems, medications and what the root problem is that is causing your panic attacks and racing thoughts when you have a panic attack.
