How do people deal with racing thoughts?

@swatantra so I thought I had adult ADHD. Got tested and they were like, “yeah, you do. But we think your generalized anxiety is the cause”

My management approach is daily meditation, exercise, and 10mg Lexapro.

I still have some days where the thoughts race, but they are fewer and don’t last as long. I can now realize it and focus myself at a distraction. That often helps. My fav distraction is fast walking on a treadmill AND playing a favorite video game.

@Cmastication thank you for sharing. Exercise does help me, but I struggle with keeping a regular schedule.

@swatantra I have a lot of mental hacks to make it part of my routine.
