Anyone else feel like it takes too long to think?

Oran G. Utan

I always feel like my head is in murky waters. I'll be having a conversation with someone and trying to think about what they say, only to make them impatient because it can frankly take me hours, weeks or years to process my thoughts fully. Especially if I feel stressed, it's like the pathways in my brain become glacial as information takes forever to get where I need it to go. It makes me feel like I need stimulants or something to speed my brain up just so I can function and deal with problems at a reasonable speed. Or maybe it's the opposite problem and there's so much excessive activity happening in my brain, that the things I need it to do have to dodge gunfire to get where they're going.

  • Yes. This is the central cause of all my social anxiety lol.

    This usually crops up in conversations when I forget a certain word but I know the meaning of the word I want to say. I can clearly envision what the word is like, but it takes me minutes to hours to finally think of what the word is.

    I feel that with stimulants it is a little better in my case, but it doesn’t fully solve the problem.
