Thanks for the clarification, I was definitely conflating a bit… having said that, even with the more accurate description I do believe I experience Racing thoughts at lot more often than not, certainly not close to zero.
One thing I have noticed is that, when I do try to quiet my mind and reduce stimulus, this is when more often than not my thoughts do fucking race. At its peak, it feels like watching people in a fair from a thrill ride, it’s a blur of barely distinguishable snapshots mixed in with sounds, lights, smells… it does make me feel like I am insane; fortunately, when it gets to that state, it does not last long
