2) I had intrusive thoughts only when I wash the dishes, I don't know why... at the very beginning I don't remember when it started, but it helped me with poetry, I found myself composing poems, and the first one were exactly while I was doing the dishes.
After that I started to think a lot, and could not make my fingers out of my head, they were playing in my hair without my control.
3) I had no problems at all in class, I was usually the 1st.
4) It means that I can read a whole page, and only my eyes are doing these automatic movements, without me reading really.
Do you think it can be an ADD, or something else?
Thanks so much Maus.

1) Makes sense, seems like you were taught patterns and numbers and to look for them in your normal everyday thinking. So you look for a pattern and same number in everything you do so it makes sense.
2) This makes me wonder if this time you finally had a moment to stop and reflect on things over they day week month? Like you were always on the go until now and finally things come flooding forward.
3) for class did it seem like in the early grades you were able get by with your natural intelligence? but as you got into the later grades such as 5th,6th,7th,8th grade, did you start struggling with the material? Did it seem like your natural ability was not enough to get by like it had when you were younger.
4) So like your eyes are moving along the lines and reading the words but the words are not making it past your eyes per say. When this starts to occur, set the book down walk away go do something else. watch tv, look out a window something to take your mind of reading a book. Come back to the book and see if you are refreshed a little bit and can read the material. Try to time how long you can read the book for, 5mins, 10 mins? see if there seems to be a limit.
I cannot tell you if it seems like you do or don't. Would have to see a chronological timeline of your whole life to see similarities and goings, which is what a psychologist or psychiatrist would do to. Might benefit you to talk to one and see what they uncover.
