racing

In some cases, the thought or thoughts tend to move

about in a chaotic manner,

not allowing for any type of conclusion to be drawn from them.

Hence they are racing around in circles almost, with no finish line in sight.

In this context, the process of thoughts racing can,

in some cases, drive one mad,

and leave them a hopeless victim to insomnia.
