Word salad

Sometimes I get word salad. But yesterday it was word salad in a text I sent, not actually speaking out loud. Has anyone else experienced this?

Not personally, but I have seen it from a few posters in the past. Not being able to put your thoughts into text seems to be a little less common than verbal issues but it does seem to occur in some. Probably less common because text enables you to take your time and organize your thoughts where as a verbal communication is usually on demand.

Anyway, I am rambling a bit myself. I have seen it a bit on the forum.

I’ve experienced word finding issues especially on higher doses of Lamictal but not word salad problems.

I’m sorry that your experiencing this @LilyoftheValley

As an afterthought, I would like to note that I have never seen you post anything that might resemble word salad, @LilyoftheValley . Maybe you are concentrating too much on a one time incident. We all have brain farts from time to time.

This is a copy of what I said to my friend after she asked me how I am:

Was any of it dealing with outsty? If so, did they help you without taking your bad pay

Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe you were tired or not paying attention to the question? I will admit that it is both not relevant to the question and not understandable. I’m not sure what to tell you @LilyoftheValley . Maybe you were having an off day. Like I said, you always seem very clear and understandable here.

Don’t let it bother you too much unless it becomes a pattern would be my recommendation.

Yeah could be a rare incident
You’ve always been very clear minded when you post on here @LilyoftheValley

While I can’t remember exactly what was said, yes.

I also experience sudden onset dyslexia (there’s another legitimate term for this I don’t remember), which I’ve posted about before, and which complicates reading and writing.

Thanks for letting me know @fractaled . At least I’m not the only one

I get this when I’m not well yes. I have even sometimes typed on here all mixed up. But I don’t get it as often in speech unless I talk gibberish in unrecognisable words.

Does it scare you when it happens? I’m kind of freaked out about it

I get word salad sometimes whenever I am off meds.

I have to double check everything I post here. Very often I write sentences wrong. Like my mind doesen’t put out what I’m thinking. It’s strange. Some kind of cognitive decline I guess.

Not really. I’m too way out to care about it when it happens but it can be freaky yes
