>> keep in mind my memory is absolutely terrible and have troble putting right words and thoughts together. sadly i get confused just by hearing the telephone ring and trying another task at the same time.my speech is disjointed and when people ask me something or i try to tell them something i literally have trouble finding the right words.
Hi Snapper,
i'm sorry i don't have any helpful suggestions but i do want you to know that you are not alone in this and i feel you are very strong in that you are taking an active rather than passive role with your health.
and i kept this statement up above because i Completely relate to this. My pdoc put most of this off to ADHD, though i'm on 80mg of strattera and though at least i can remember minute to minute now i still am so easily distracted and that little distraction "boggle's" my mind. I think that some of what you are describing (word finding issues) may deal more with mind racing...when i was rapid cycling i literally couldn't even talk at times, i could not find words and sometimes people would talk straight at me and it's almost like they were talking a different language cuz i Just couldn't Grasp it. then my words to respond would enter and leave my brain just as fast.With the distraction it's like my mind is a handful of dice and when i'm on tasks they are rolled out to numbers, the minute i get distracted (over pretty much Anything) then someone picks up thost dice and rattles them around in a jar and throws them back out. i have to take the time to put each one back to the right numbers to complete that first task. So not only is the distraction confusing, figuring out where i left off on the task is confusing also.
long explanation but do you understand what i'm trying to get across.
Sometimes it seems that the distraction and memory lapse and confusion is almost painful.Maybe this reply sounds a little somber but i meant it to be positive. that you are not alone, that new drugs come out all the time, but most importantly, you are a strong individual and you have our support here.
You are just a youngin' in my eyes.
Keep up that drive you have inside you.
Best Wishes.
B2c.
