kat, whats anxious racing thoughts like?

Anxious racing thoughts is like having everything that could ever go wrong run through your mind at the same time. At least for me. It mostly starts with one worrying/scary thought, which leads to another, which leads to one more and so on. Before I know it I start worrying and getting scared about everything, to the point where most of the anxious thoughts don’t even make sense. They just keep running through my mind and often enough I start crying because it’s just unbearable. Sometimes I can break out of it by repeating a mantra of mine in my head, sometimes I have to wait until they just go away. 

I don’t know what it’s like for others, but that’s how it is for me.
