Your experiences reasonate a lot, I’d also say yours may have been even more serious. But it resonates. My mind makes a mess out of things, it plays funny things to me. It’s like I have a hard time understanding or grasping patterns or logics I see in my environments, or stuff and conversations around me. I do manage to do some practical things but I am in autopilot mode a lot, my mind works on repetition and autopilot, manages to figure out or resolve stuff before I understand exactly what pattern or logic I used. Sometimes I have to tell myself what I’m doing exactly and where I am, not that I don’t know but to be really aware of what im doing (es: going for a walk and checking some books after sitting down for some minutes and feeling too restless). My mind does messes and chaos out of reality, but I almost always land on my feet if you know what I mean.
