Do You Have any Mental Abnormalities?

Do You Have any Mental Abnormalities?
It might be possible that after so much time paying attention to yourself that You notice that You have some kind of mental abnormality or illness after hinting towards it through research. Well, this is the case for me. Not necessarily an illness, but rather a small irritant when conveying a message, I find that I stutter in such a way that I repeat some sentences vocally. In text, I notice that I have bouts of dyslexia where I would repeat the same word, skip a sentence, or switch 2 words around in a sentence before I notice.

(this is why I love the thesaurus Smile)

I would describe this experience as having a second "me" voicing over what I say, taking dominance over the previous "me's" monologue, continuing to speak or type in place of the old "me".

For example, "this is what I said, this is exactly the kind of case- this is exactly the kind of case yes".

It is common for me. I do not have attention disorders, I just have quite a few moments where my thought process spikes between things of interest. And then I forget the initial thing I was thinking about, and that pisses me off because the thing is usually relevant.

I technically have dysnomia, an inability (in verbal situations) to recall the right word to proceed with a thought.

I also have a history of mild depression, which spiked after a single interpersonal trauma in 2007. I almost didn't make it.

Shit, man. My younger cousin has ADHD/ADD, and when We play Call of Duty online He can barely go through 15 minutes of the same game mode without having to switch. Even if it means going from classic multiplayer mode to zombies multiplayer mode. And about an hour later He wants to play Minecraft, which We do. :/

Hey! That is what usually accompanies my amnesia!

...my thoughts.

Yeah, it's a Gooch. I all but stopped immersing myself in anything that demands time and/or attention...it's just to damned difficult. My abbreviated posts here are small evidence.

Oh, I should add that whenever I start repeating my words and becoming enthused in the topic, I usually start to smile or laugh maniacally out of place. I laugh quietly however so few others notice.

However, I'm able to almost fully manage it now, but that took almost fifteen years and several trips to mental hospitals to accomplish.

She'd say that's what the pool boy is for...and that now you know her stance on immigration reform.
