I dunno what you would call this , if it is an impairment in information proccessing or what , but I have noticed it very much lately and it is really hurting my ability to socialize.
Everytime someone will ask me a question or ask me anything , my opinion on something. I will always reply with " I don't know " It seems my mind will be blank at the time and then maybe 3 minutes later the thought will pop into my head.
This happens with even the simplest questions
Like yesterday my dad asked if I was going to bed , for whatever reason , my mind just blanked out , I froze for a few seconds and just replyed..uhh i dunno. Then about 30 seconds later , The answer popped into my head , which was " Even if I tried to go to bed , I couldn't sleep because im not tired at all"
This is very frustrating especially when im in the middle of a conversation about something ideas , or elaborations , pop into my head way after the current convo is over..
I dunno if this is a proccessing problem or not. I'm on lexapro now I dunno if that is attributing to it , but i had this problem ever since I weened myself off the paxil.. The reasons I came off this drug don't seem to be subsiding , I dunno if this drug has screwed me up for life or what..
I also have lots of other crap messed up with me , but I guess I want to get this addressed first
