My thinking became entirely verbal after breaking down from stress and I can't sleep anymore. It was all abstract and in images before but I cannot function with the verbal thoughts (mostly negative and focused on myself). I can't plan, solve problems or do anything this way and its made me extremely distressed. How can I possibly think of anything verbally all the time? I just cannot do this.
All of my memories are broken up and my cognition is not here. I don't know why this is such a problem for me but its beyond uncomfortable and debilitating yet I am obsessed with it. Can a medication help with this?
