> Oh any thought. I'm afraid I'll lose track before I finish the thought. It's even worse when the TV is on, so perhaps it's poor concentration. Hey I've got a cognitive problem! (I take Xanax)


Hi Fred, this may not be the same kind of thing at all, but it feels like it to me somehow. I have a love-hate relationship with reading, because no matter what it is, I read *everything* as if I have to memorize it. No matter how unimportant it might be, I will read the same sentence over and over if I realize I "wasn't paying attention" for a minute there. Therefore I read at an even slower pace than typical speech.

My thoughts are also in full and complete sentences, and often I even go back and "edit" them over and over.

This all feels like "keeping track" and "holding on" to thoughts, as you say. Is any of it similar to what you meant? For these and other reasons, some kind of hybrid ADD/OCD thing has been proposed in my case. But so far, any med I've tried to help with it either hasn't (i.e., ADHD meds) or just makes me feel more at peace and less guilty about being this way (i.e. Xanax).
