Is it normal to have Internal monologue on Repeat?
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I've noticed my last few years of my 20s and now in my 30s, my mind has ceased in creativity and I experience less internal monologue with myself. I feel like a lobotomized version of myself, incapable of having the creative thoughts like I used to. I used to be able to daydream whole scenarios and have stories in my head. Now my thoughts are like a broken record. I can't day dream easily because my mind will just cycle around a single thought for hours. Then I'll get distracted and then I have to rethink the thought all over again.

Is this happening because I'm getting older? Not getting enough sleep? ADHD? A health issue? It drives me nuts that I'm having this literal internal struggle with myself. Does anyone else experience this?

I hear LOUD repetitions of 5 second snippets of music (the piece changes depending on what I'm listening to at the time) from the minute I wake up to the minute I fall asleep.

Right now it's the phrase Sugar, I've got a taste for you now over and over and over.

It's awful! It's about as loud as my car stereo, always on. During conversations, while I'm trying to work, during tense and emotional moments, while I'm trying to sleep, while I'm trying to be intimate with my partner 😅

I feel like I can't think complete thoughts because the music is so loud.
