ADHD and Inner monologue | ADHD Information
I was just diagnosed with ADHD, as i posted earlier, after problems with being depressed. It turns I'm really not depressed just frusturated with life, even though I've been doing pretty well concerning that I've kept my ADHD under control on my own. I was always a hyper but spacey kid and that grew into insecurity and lonliness in my high school years, even though I have had a good set of friends. Now, three years into college i feel things are out my control, especially my inner monologue. I have realized that i pretend I'm talking to people in my head (though this is not psychotic), sometimes looking for comfort, answers, or reasons i'm sure i'm unaware of. I may have been doing this for a while but I am just starting to notice it after starting therapy. The major issue with this, because i know most people here do have different inner monologues, is that sometimes i value my conversations in my head rather than reaching out to other people. This is obviously a huge issue with friends/family, though I'm sure the people on the other end can't recognize it. Where it has really paralyzed me as a person is that i feel have actually been accomplishing things through these tactics when really its the same thing over and over. I have been researching personality disorders and feel that maybe through my struggles of untreated ADHD i have developed some poor comfort methods.
Thanks

not sure if that is the same thing, but it sure is nosy up there and i wish they all just shut up sometimes!
