Repeating things in your head

100% Normal
8 Comments

For some reason when I say something to someone or have a small encounter with someone I repeat what I just said to them in my head. Ill almost sometimes reword it and think fuck shoulda said this. Its really just OCD but it really gets exhausting. Even when I comment on something online I will comment and then read it and then edit it then read it then edit it.

Does anyone know tricks to let your mind be more free? I really need it to stop it sometimes causes social anxiety because I harp on my word selection afterwards.

    It sounds like you're likely introverted and analytical.

      Echolalia is repeating out loud, echologia is repeating in your head.

        Do you have any advice how to treat it? It does not seem to have much information online about treatment.

        Like even just now when I wrote that I paused and thought for a second and read it and waited to see what else I forgot to say or delete something I said. Its really weird and its starting to really become a problem.

          I’m struggling with something similar currently, and I don’t know how to fix it. I’m sorry.

    There is psychiatric treatment of OCD(antidepressants, benzos, plus antipsychotic). I have it and its extremely hard even with meds.
