Is your inner movie playing in your head also more interesting than the TV movie?

TV:

I tend to watch TV programmes / movies by digital recording them (rather than watching the live broadcast). 

That way, I can choose to watch things when I have sufficient energy (or in the appropriate level of emotion) to follow the particular content. 

It also means I can stop playback, do something else, and return to it hours / days / weeks / months later when I feel like it.

Another choice recording / playback, which I like, is I can repeat watch sections of interest or make use of subtitles with some content.  (For some programmes; I prefer to mute the sound and follow the content via use of subtitles).

I have thoughts like movies in my head. It's a movie playing while reading a book - I see it in my head.

As long as this vivid feature / really immersive process does not distress you at all - that sounds fine.

However, if you were ever to find the imagery in your head too annoying, overly frightening or inappropriately intrusive (happens when you don't want or expect it to etc.) - then it might be worth mentioning your experience of the feature with a GP.  

Our minds can be fascinating and inventive.

As long as that creativity and experience enhancing capability is enjoyable - that is a positive.

If the mind / emotional experience / cognition state were to stray into unwelcome territory we find more bizarre than suits / serves / supports us - that is where a clinician's guidance may be appropriate.

And yes, I speak from personal experience ...my mind too - can readily generate an environment and storyline way more interesting and immersive than most TV programming on offer.

I save some videos on YouTube and watch them later when I have energy. The amount of information I can take is very much limited although I don't have any (recognised) learning disability. It was always my problem st school- too much, too fast. I was too slow for all this. Ended up sitting with books for hours and struggling and still getting low notes in many subjects.  I was told I just have to try harder and everything will be fine.

I always need time to "digest" tge information I received.  Then to relax. Then I can only receive another one.
