I often find myself repeating what I have just said. Afterwards when I think about it I feel silly and stupid for doing it. Last week I was for my check up with my new GP. He wanted to do a PSA for my prostate. I told him that my previous dr did it last year and that everything was fine and that my medical aid won’t pay for it two years in a row. He looked like he did not believe me so I repeated exactly what I just told him. Afterwards I felt bad that I talked to him like that since he is a professional person after all. Does this also happen to you?

I repeat myself top soo dang much!!! Like it’s bad. Or restart a conversation from the begining like we never talked about it, and I stutter a lot when I talk. Some people ask me why I have difficulties talking and then I just tell them I have a mental health disorder and they are like “ohhh, ok. Sorry dude didnt mean to be rude” and I’m all like nah your fine. But yeah I repeat myself all the time again and again

That is me right there. I try not to do it but when I find myself in the middle of a conversation we had just a moment ago, I just continue like nothing is wrong.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this.
I will repeat the same thought two, three, four times, even after it’s been acknowledged. I don’t even know why I do this.
To get a better grasp of it?
I’ll even ruminate on it in my head, repeating it endlessly.

Yes when I forgot that I said it already. Then later I realize that I just repeated what I just said. Feeling embarrassed or foolish.

I do repeat myself because of memory sometimes or because I think I didn’t explain myself well enough. I’m insecure about having explained myself well because my mind jumps a lot and finds the normal pace of conversations agonizing. My mind’s either too fast or too slow, never just right.

I will sometimes repeat myself, it could be an OCD thing.
My father does it too and he could have OCD also.

I also repeat myself. When it happens in the pdoc’s office, I think I come off as a little crazy. So I try to watch myself from repeating in my appts. The NP will look at you strangely and makes me feel uncomfortable when I do it.

When I’m having painful racing thoughts I’ll repeat a short thought in my head many times for comfort. Say it aloud if I’m alone.

I almost wonder if it is OCD.
I was diagnosed with it years ago.

I am a big repeater. So is my Dad. The difference is he does it even after he has been validated. Even when he knows you have heard him, he will repeat himself incessantly. I have the same conversations again and again with people including my ‘audience’ that I talk to in private all the time. I have issues from a lifetime of abuse. My brain is stuck.
