is this normal?

sometimes i get fragmented thoughts. and not in mania either, but when im severly depressed. it's hard to put a sentance together. like now. but it gets worse. just words come at me that arent together. and i can't express what i want to say but i know i want to say something!

its frustrating. it's not the racing thoughts of mania. it's just bits and peices of stuff. and my inability to communicate it.

has this happened to anyone? whats going on? i dont even know if this makes sense. even this post was an effort.

I have had that happen before. I am not to sure why it happens to be honest. I wish I could help you more, I am sorry. Do you have a therapist you can talk to about it? They may know more about it. I understand how it can be frustrating. Stay strong and be safe. beautiful

yes, I know what you mean. It's like I cant concentrate enough to have a flow of words. I'll be talking and just stop mid-sentence and not have any idea how to say what I want to say (heck, half the time I don't remember what I wanted to say). I have been that way for a while but I agree that it gets worse when the depression is at its worst. I don't know the why but I know that it happens to me often.

It happens to me a lot. It's irritating And I think it makes me look stupid when I'm trying to explain to someone either what to do or what I did to fix something in a training session.... very frustrating.

It's happened to me too and I have no clue either as to why this happens. I, too, will start tallking and just stop and don't even realize I stopped. I try to put feelings into sentences and just can't do it.... It does get very frustrating! Sometimes I try to express my self and something silly comes out of my mouth.... Some times it's funny, but not often!

thankfully it doesn't seem to last very long. it's weird though. for instance, i tried to reply to an email from a dear friend, and it was so hard to concentrate on, that everything came out in short bursts. example: "depressed. i know. praying, yes... working on it. i hurt. help me." (it was much longer but you get the jist.. the whole email was like that. i couldn't complete much of a sentance.

now i've moved on to another odd state. im depressed... but awake. and have been so for more than 24 hours already. im angry and irritable and want to quit my meds because they are worthless and want to shut everyone around me out... ugh!! you know, last week... i was on top of the world. i hate this

Sounds like you are having a little of a mixed episode, dear. Tell you Pdoc as soon as you can. The fragmented, broken thoughts might be a part of the manic symptoms "breaking through " the depression, or even a touch of psychotic features (disorganized thought processes.) At any case, it seems like the meds could do with a readjusting. Poor you. It sounds immensely frustrating. HUGGSSS
