Making sense of information and confused thinking.

Post Reply New Topic

I can understand information when I take it in, and I can write well. But getting between those two points is unbelievably difficult. I have absolutely no clarity of thought. It is like the information in my head is stored in one enormous block that I can not pull individual pieces out of. And the more information I take in the less accessible it becomes.

I find it impossible to break down tasks for the same reason.

When I try to think about anything even slightly difficult it is like there is a wall up, and I lose track of what I was trying to think about after a couple of seconds.

It has recently been suggested to me that I should try Ritalin to see if it gives me any clarity of thought.

I hope that someone can help me understand this.

What about the next day? Is the information still the same.

Yes. It is always the same. It is also why I am unlikely to be found talking about my interests, I can't really organise that amount of information, no matter how much I know about a topic.

You might just have bad organization skills.

& a Rough overview is a general view of the Game.
& a Implementation plan is splitting up the tasks.

Then you focus on the part that your doing, & you get more specific.

But if you try to do it all at once, your going to hit a wall.

Mediation would probably work. It will increase your gamma waves. Don't know if it is linked to it. Or it is the Acetylcholine pathway with people who go into a cave & come out with a idea. Also some people use drugs in the cave.

Edit:-

Oh wow, I thought I was the only one that thought like that! I call it my "concept soup" lol Everything is there but when I talk I only say parts of it and I talk a lot just to fill in all the things that pop into my head about it for the other person.

I have noticed it doesn't happen as much when I have had some coffee, so a prescription stimulant may be the way to go. I can't take them because of another condition so if anyone has other suggestions, please say it!

edited to add: Brain Waves in Meditation check this out, meditation helps me when I have the motivation to do it (another prob with ADD is how to muster up the proper effort)

Well, I can say that it's the same for me. And I don't know how to go about it. I think I have always been that way. But at university it is worse because suddenly you're expected to produce papers. I'm still trying to find a way to be more organized.

My main problem is I don't know what I am expected to do. Or more... how I am supposed to do it. I look at the results, what it should look like, but it does not make sense to me how I am supposed to get there. It's frustrating because I can read as much as I want, it's not... I don't make sense of most things. I accept or dismiss them. I try to produce a dialogue, getting information from A to B, but it does not work. The more I think about how I should write, the less I can do it.

It's generally about how I perceive the world. And I have never perceived the world in a logical organized way. I can't get beyond impressions. I can only look at abstraction and deal with it on an abstract level, but I do not see where the abstraction is coming from.
