Mental repetition of phrases/words ?
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that does this. When I was little I used to spell out sentences in my head usually multiple times before I realized what I was doing. It was usually after stressful conversations so I really think it was a kind of mental stimming for me.
Now a days it's usually just repeating phrases or parts of a song until I realize I'm doing it and make myself stop. Though I have had whole songs stuck in my head for days at a time before. One time I had 'It sure is Monday' on repeat in my mind and when I started humming it on friday a couple of my co-workers started giving me odd looks.
i think i got the solution
i believe when we are stressed.. it happens more
1.do the things that interests you.. coz your brain starts probably makes more cells when you do more activities. & get dull if you are trapped in the same boring job. May be an hour a day/week but do it.
2. at wake up time ( don't think of any Works)
3. b4 going to sleep (30mins) don't think of any works.. by work i mean tension giving work
4a. as these sounds continue don't try to chop them.. rather let the word/sentence finish & then take your mind away & try it not to be started
eg if the word that continues in your mind is "olalaa i am going" instead of chopping it "olalaa i/" let it to finish "olaalaa i am going" & now deviate your attention & speak something with your self
4b. Ignore it! while the mind is repeating .. you may go on making your routine " i would be doing this & after that this & that"
5.Games , try to play mind games
6.Socialize. talk to people .. share your experiences (this would help you
a.recalling past experiences
b. making you more critical
c. improving your communicaiton.
its more than likely Echolalia
i have had it my entire life, verbal Echolalia (of my own phrases) and mental Echolalia
usually people have it when there is a lack of understanding in the verbal communication
sometimes people use it as a way to calm down
in my case i use it to understand something,
very few times do i actually have control over it
