Get it checked out.: These could be obsessions and you could be anxious. Recommend considering a comprehensive evaluation by a doctoral level clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist for more definitive answer.

Racing Thoughts: Thoughts that are intrusive certainly can be disturbing to you, and cause breaks in your attention and concentration. Why not have a consultation with your physician and ask for a recommendation for a psychiatrist who can better help treat your stress as well as your obsessive thoughts?

Many possibilities: Racing thoughts can be a symptom of many psychiatric syndromes. I suggest a psychiatric evaluation.
