#thought blocking

[221bluescarf]

suddenly losing your thoughts, getting lost, forgetting how to do simple things, getting tasks scattered, freezing up, being unable to speak or speaking incoherently is embarrassing and hard to explain when someone is staring at you. Not getting anything done and not finishing responsibilities can make anyone feel self-conscious and guilty. It's ok. Just try your best.

Poverty of speech

Literally the worst fucking symptoms for a linguist to experience

This should be illegal

Do you anything about thought blocking and anything on how to stop it?

Yes, thought blocking is when a train of thought is suddenly lost. It’s not the same as the brief lapses in memory people typically experience every now and then. It’s an abrupt stop where the thought vanishes and the speech result is the person talking will suddenly stop speaking. When the person recovers from the silence and resumes speaking, they may talk about a different subject from before. They also may not begin speaking again until prompted.Treatments: therapy, medication such as antipsychotics and mood stabilizers [x, x].- Mod Alex

My "difficulty communicating" disorders pair so nicely with your "you have to ask, you have to reach out or I won't know," don't you think?

Anyway I'm going to go scream at the wall and scribble in my notebook some more, see you later

No-one talks bout how confusing it can be for schizospecs and other psychotics to try to exist (and thrive - what's that who's she??) on the internet wasteland of algos which may have been a fun idea in theory but in actual practice it has lead to a reality of feeds/dashboards etc of a completely scrambled and nonsensical timeline of posts and it feels like nobody else is out there.

It has kinda jsut dawned on me that maybe that is intentional so we are more isolated and trapped in addictive (scrolling) habits trying to understand and make the most of these bizarro algos. That's not to diss anybody's posts that the algorithm decides to prioritize, and i got a bit tangential there, so i will wrap it up by saying that it is kind of disorientating and isolating - and i have just forgotten what my wrap up comment was lol dammit thought-blocking let me finish my sentence!

Today, in Adventures in Dysnomia...

I was trying to ask my mom to grab the pliers while she was downstairs but I absolutely could not think of the word, I called the, ‘construction tweezers’ instead.

From now on pliers=construction tweezers
