Cragger65, Hello......I too understand and sometimes, more often than would care to admit to, experience flooding of thoughts, as well as emotions, all while my mind races away in thought. Like Cindy, my racy thoughts are disjointed and I can become overwhelmed; It's happening more, since I've again detached and departed further and further away from fantasy and into the grips of my reality. (-past & present)
When I combine my life experience with knowledge gained, deepening awareness's, plus my ambitions, as well as, attempts to meet daily stressors, I get those racy thoughts and go into overwhelm and the result thereafter is, I shut-down for a while.
Also, sometimes it really looks to me as though the frequency of my racy thoughts is a side-effect to the medicine I am currently prescribed.
Another words, Yes! Me too - Racy thoughts! They'd subsided and decreased significantly once, yet now they've returned more frequently.
Exactly Cindy, when my mind is racing that's it, and for me usually when I'm triggered and feeling very frigtened of not getting what I think I need to survive or of losing what I think I need to survive!
cragger65, do hope you don't mind me sharing this little story here.
Your title for this thread makes me smile and laugh. It's a good one! I may've missed reading it if it didn't read: "Attacked By A Flock of Birds." It's especially funny for me, bc once my HS sweetheart and I crossed a line into tern' terriotry. (I think that's the type of bird's name.) to eat our pic'a'nic lunch in a expansive sand-decline for a little privacy, and we found ourselves together with numbers and numbers of terns, all of which literally surrounded us in formation and angrily, hungrily (smiles), were eye'balling us. It was unbelivable to see them there upon that highest point of the sand dune, firm and fixed upon the two of us and while completely having enclosed us in their circle. I quickly noticed, and convinced bf that we should leave. In our attempt to do so these birds charged, flew at us while swooping down just above our heads and shoulders. No crap', this really happened and it's so funny now to be reminded of it.
Back then: in my imagination they were definately going to attempt to eat and run. (lol) My thoughts were: 'They'll be taking with them little bits of us.' ....Oh no', I am LMAO, right now; that was so scary, unbelievable and funny now.
Will be seeing you around the forum cragger65, and reading. Hang in there! I don't yet identify the exact conditions in which my racy thoughts once left me for a good length of time, but I do recall I did once find extended relief from them. Take care.
Hope
