> Ever since I was a teenager I've had this problem. I start a thought and then hold on like mad in case I forget what I'm thinking. It happens often these days. I suppose this is what's called a cognitive problem. In the early days I read it was an early sign of schizophrenia, which scared me to death. I'm 61 BTW and too old for schizophrenia I think, but not too old for Alzheimer's of course. I think it was a symptom of anxiety however. But now I'm successfully on Nardil and Xanax and it's worse than ever. Can anyone please explain what it's all about and what can be done to alleviate it? It's a bit like losing the thread when on pot
> Thanks
> Fredcould you explain an example of one of those thoughts? I hold on to a thought that I think helps and repeat it over and over again. (it also seems like an anxiety related thing for me, too)
