I always have trouble explaining this as it's complicated, but I would really appreciate some kind of answer or a point in the right direction. I'm 16 years old and sometimes I have these... Loud, very fast-paced thoughts? It's not that I'm hearing voices around me, in fact, I notice this usually only occurs when I'm alone or when it's quiet. It's more as if my own thoughts are screaming, but they're also very scattered, rushed, and it feels almost aggressive, like when I'm really angry but I'm unable to let the emotions out in an effective way that satisfies me, which just builds up more frustration. Except, I'm not actually angry when the thoughts occur... I know, this is confusing.

I've only been diagnosed with GAD, but I have never read anything like this. I tried explaining to some of my friends, and they just joked about me going insane. These episodes only last for a few minutes, maybe up to 15 at most, and are spaced out by maybe a few months. I'm not exactly sure, my perception of time is a little off. I do know that I've been experiencing these for at least a few years now though. Maybe three or four, possibly longer.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Or knows what this may be a cause of?
