I'm sure someone has suggested you might have ADHD and that meditation can help. But really, meditation can help. When I'm choked up with thoughts, calming my brain works. If you were accepting suggestions, I'd start with a 5 minute guided meditation. I know this gets thrown around a lot and that you might say you can't meditate but it's a solid strategy. Thanks for writing this.

Hi Barbara,

Your ability to articulate what it feels like to navigate a mind that moves this fast is incredible. The image of tangled headphones and the challenge of catching thoughts before they disappear is so vividly expressed. It’s interesting how writing gives structure to what feels chaotic in speech, right?

Maybe it’s not about fixing your brain, but embracing the way it works. Because, clearly, there’s brilliance in it :)
