Hi,
Don't really know how to describe this, but I find that I can't follow certain trains of thought. Not with things I have to remember to do, it's usually a thought related to how I'm feeling. Before I can take any time to follow it up the thought runs away from me and I immediately forget it! It leaves me with the knowledge that I've got something going on in my head, the sort of feeling after a nightmare or dream you can't remember, but can amost sense. It's incredibly frustrating! The only way around it is if I happen to be typing and I can catch it in time to write it, but most of the time that's not the case.
It's not like scattered thoughts, more like very fast flitting thoughts. I don't think it's conscious avoidance of difficult emotions, because I know when I'm doing that. It's totally involuntary. I do have memory issues with my PTSD, but I've never heard of anyone else with this problem so I don't know if it is related to PTSD? Or am I just being weird?
Does anyone else have this problem?
