when I talk, I talk like a relatively normal person except that sometimes I lose my train of thought and have to regroup. It is frustrating and can be embarrassing if I am speaking with someone I don't know. I am going to be signing up for college courses and a few days ago, I was doing some research on the best way to go about it. I was speaking to a rather impatient and fast paced woman (who I believe needs to rethink her career choice) at my local community college over the phone. I had written down a bit of my questions, as I figured I may either be all over the place, or just lose my train of thought, and wanted to have something written down to 'bring me back.' Well, our conversation milled outside the realm of what I had written down, and as I was speaking, I lost my train of thought. I guess it wasn't too embarrassing. I mean, I know it is a disability and the impatient woman in the wrong career on the other end of the phone didn't help. I guess it gets worse when I am under pressure.
My psychiatrist says it is a psychotic symptom that meds are supposed to help. I haven't spoken to her much about it so far. She's my therapist too and we work on other things...also I'm already on an antipsychotic (abilify). Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing? Does anyone else experience it? Or other thought disorders?? Does medication help? I have and have had a few other symptoms in this wikipedia article too. Thanks.
