hello, last Monday, I had a re assessment, as my mental health started deteriorating, they upped my Quetiapine to 300mg per day.
as well as taking my usual doses of 200mg Lamotrigine and 45mg Mirtazapine. this morning I got a follow up letter today, and in it the dr says I have circumstantial speech, I've read up and this is a "thought disorder" am I right? is this common in someone with BPD? what do I need to know about it? regards |

I had to google it because I didn't know what it was.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstantial_speech I know I have always talked in paragraphs more then getting to the point, and have done this. My husband still tells me sometimes I need to get to the point. But recently since I am trying to do everything only by what people say - not what I think they say, I think I am getting better. But I still always think in layers about what everything has to do with everything. Where it has been, where it might go, and what effect it might have on the invisible world. I think what you could do with this information is share its definition, and ask people if they do it, and encourage people to find out if their Dr. thinks they have it. I do believe the speech pattern can be improved because I have improved over the years. |

thank you for the reply!!
yeah my missus googled it ad said that is so you! lol but I've just been told it could happen because I'm trying to get too many points on how I feel across to people, since the Quetiapine uppage, my thinking is slower and my speech is too, but I'm talking much more |

Your third sentence: but I've just been told it could happen because I'm trying to get too many points on how I feel across to people, - I do this so much. And sometimes I feel that I can see so many things on a much larger scale then so many people, but I can't share the knowledge in a way people can understand. My inability to communicate my thoughts has caused me problems at jobs - it also causes me to over clarify, and then people say I am talking to them like a child.
