Yes,it’s been happening for years now.Reading information is one thing,remembering what I’ve read seems beyond my abilities.Analysing it - forget it,critical thinking - never had it,or maybe I have,I don’t remember.I’ve created a subpersona - mainly answering questions by intuition I suppose.I try and think about something,I think up one scentence,but cannot follow the trail of thought in any way.Let me give you an example.Someone asks me “How are you” and I respond “I’m good” whilst constantly repeating in my mind “I’m good” ,or to a normal question whilst trying to think of an answer,what popps up in my head is for example “The TV’s in the dishwasher”.I can’t live like this.

I’m not sure what this is, sounds a bit like my voices that say random things like thoughts in my head, but not auditory hallucinations.
Do you attend therapy? It might help you to search for a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, for your cognition and reactions to those thoughts. I do it, and it has helped me a lot.
I don’t belive there’s CBT where I live.Sure I can go and talk to a psychologist,and I have tried,but whatever they say,when I’m out the door,everything that they said is flushed out of my head.
I do the same, combine it with hearing loss and it drives people nuts, I make no sense,
@Mountainman I’ve found that I simply do not focus enough.My thoughts may be jumbled,yes,but I still do my upmost to focus and put coherent thoughts together.I admitt I was in a very rough state when I started this thread,but I’ve found that meditation was my saving grace today.It really helps me center myself and regain a moderete degree of control over my mind.

Im with you on everything you posted i cant live like this either
The fact that I can’t live like this means that it’s time to do something about it.Through the difficult time,and thought blocks,where I expereience strong anxiety I dissociate and live on autopilot until I can get my thoughts together.It’s a difficult way to live,but it’s the only way I know that works for me.I try,and will continue to strive towards the better - I use no medicine either so it’s more difficult for me,but I belive and know we’ll manage.
