Thanks, guys. I will definitely try to take your advice. I see what you're saying, madisgram. It is important to be a good listener as well and that's where my problem lays. I have a hard time staying completely focused sometimes when somebody else is talking, but I love to talk and I usually end up dominating conversations by doing most of the talking. I also have a tough time relaxing which is quite frustrating. It just seems like my mind is overworked cuz I am always full of thoughts and ideas. I have seen a therapist before and I thought I might have ADD, but my therapist didn't test me cuz she didn't seem to think that I have ADD. She thought I had anxiety issues though and she wanted to put me on anxiety meds, but I don't want to be on meds cuz of all the side effects. I would like to get another opinion and see a different therapist, but the copayments are a bit too pricey for me to afford. They are like $40 a visit which turns out to be $80 a month.

My boyfriend has told me that he is just a quiet person and that is okay with me, but I just need him to communicate a little more to me. When I'm talking and he's listening, I'd appreciate if he would start to nod or tell me his perspective on what is being said at least to show that he's listening. I am pretty good at showing that I am listening to him or anyone else at least, but it's just like difficult for my mind to grasp what's being said at times if that makes any sense. It feels like it takes a little time for me to understand things.
