Anyone here have any problems with the above? Seems like sometimes I never have much to say, or thoughts get pulled from my head and I can’t remember, or I just get distracted in my own mind. Other times I mix up words or have moments where I just ramble.
It helps when I actually sit and write like right now, but it gets frustrating. I hate talking out loud because a lot of people just seem to get this confused look on their face when I talk most of the time.
I’ve thoughts drop out of my mind and never had much to say unless it had a bearing on a task at hand but probably not. My p doc seems to think I don’t have sz or sza because I lack any disorganized speech with her. But we almost exclusively talk about medicine x or my current symptoms so I’m focused on those, especially now.
I have had word salad before. It was a bit messy as I honestly have no idea what I said to people. I thought I was being clear but my letter on discharge was pretty bad reading and I had no idea that other people couldn’t understand me.
I use the wrong word sometimes, a synonym to the one I meant.
This still happens to me at age 51. It usually seems worse if I haven’t slept well. I think it helps me to try to avoid compound sentences when I am a bit scattered. It usually is when I speak so I think some of it may be from rushing, self consciousness and anxiety. Writing helps a lot and I think It happens less frequently during periods when I keep journaling.
When i’ve been unwell, i’ve certainly struggled with thinking and speech. Quite honestly, i don’t know how disorganised either of them have been…i tend to think that i still come across as fairly understandable, even though i know i’m struggling compared to what i’m usually like. I’ve had similar experiences where i’ve felt that my thoughts have been taken from me. Even halfway through a sentence, the other half will disappear and i’m left gaping like a fish out of water as i try to remember what i was even talking about in the first place.
When i’m talking sometimes the government steals thoughts out of my head. I also find that it’s easier for me to communicate in writing than speaking. I wouldn’t say i’m super disorganized though. Just kind of mixed up.
