> am havng the problem of "racing thoughts" since late teenage. I dont remember how it started. My mom and sister including myself were subjected to a very disfunctional environment including domestic violence and disturbance. My childhood was based on many deprivations and unpleasant memories. However, things have improved since we have grown up. The problem of racing thoughts started during my late teen years. As I grew older these thoughts became more intense, frequent and dirty esp blasphemic. They became strong at times of prayer or accelerated during the mention of anything in relation to religion. Surprisingly, I am a religious person as in, particular about my prayers and it was hard for me to have such thoughts racing my mind with all unthinkable profanities in the midst of prayer etc. These thought are still part of my life and put me into severe depression and feeling of guilt. I would appreciate an advice as to how I can control this problem and live a healthy life. I want to mention that my mother and sister are bipolar patients.

I am so sorry to hear this, I'm so glad you pray. Does this happen while you're reading the bible too? Gods word is a very powerful tool against this kind of problem.
Let me know how you're doing and I'll be praying for you.
