I didn't look through all the replies here but I have the same problem of getting off track when I'm trying to talk to someone else or forget to write something I'm thinking down. I struggle with the writing part partly because I can't keep up with my thoughts a lot of the time, they just run away from me and I can't write/type quickly enough to get down what I really mean. What I've been doing as of late is making videos on my laptop of how I feel that day, things I've been thinking about, things that have bothered me for a long time, things that have happened. Kind of like solo therapy or something. I think it has been helping me be more honest with myself.

It's easy to talk to other people and either exaggerate or under-emphasize things about yourself but when you are just saying it to yourself aloud (which I normally do anyway) and capturing it in a form that someone else would be able to experience the way you do, it is more true and accurate to what you're going through.

I hope that helps. Good luck, friend.
