Not making any sense talking rubbish

Post Reply New Topic

I was just wondering this it usually happens to me if I am very tired or when I was having meltdowns (which I have not had any at all recently for nearly a month) what happens is I start to well not make sense and I pause in sentences I forget what I am talking about halfwayin a sentence I also get tongue tied it can be very embarrassing.

When I was having meltdowns I would lose it altogether and go to the point where I would just say Yes or No

Do any of you have that problem or have been there.

I can become involuntarily non-verbal when I have meltdowns or panic attacks or when I am under extreme stress, or even if I am unwell in some way.

I blank out for a few moments from time to time. I have to wait till I re-engage. It sort of feels like I have a Pause button. I think it's an aspie trait.

Actually, that is the point where people start firing words at me, since I'm not responding. That can then lead to a meltdown. I've tried saying Wait but nobody waits, they just babble on.

yes

oops, i mean, yes, i have that problem too. Usually I make some kind of reset noise and try to start over. For some reason that verbal utterance helps me to 'catch up' with my brain. A nice 'bleh' helps every now and then.

When Im gettin close to the mealtdown point im told I stop making sence, i really want everyone to leave me the hell alone and let me calm down when im more rational. This is definatly an AS/HFA thing. But others can be emotional and freak out 2, heh.

I get like this too. And when people ask me questions when I'm in that state, or try to talk to me, I can only produce one syllable answers and only that to shut them up because if I don't answer at all it makes things worse. It is, as dawndeleon and claradoon said, as if the pause button has been pushed and I have to be reset. Other times, if I am angry or agitated I get so verbose and excited that I find myself saying things that make no sense, and I think as I am saying them "this makes no sense" but I continue anyway cause I'm caught up in it and can't wind down. I call these "As the Spit Flies" because sometimes the spit actually flies out of my mouth as I'm ranting or raging, and it seems comical and ridiculous but I'm caught up in it and want to see it through to its illogical conclusion. I guess it's called "being out of control" and I'm glad it doesn't happen often. I tell my husband and kids "Don't push my buttons unless you want to see the spit fly."

nonverbal. . . overly verbal. . . sometimes they seem like all the same. Both block communication.

And to answer the question. . . yes. Definitely yes.

Afrigginmen...I mean yes.... I do this when I am tired..
or, similiar to what my avatar says....pretty much all
of the above....yeah....that.

There are times where I don't make any sense when talking. It happens when there is stress and also times where there is no stress. I forget to think in the middle of a sentence and pause. Sometimes I start talking about another subject in the middle of a sentence. Here's what I sound like at times, " You know the what is the neat cow now wow computer crash car boom!" or, " I am confused today oh it is raining the airplane what now!" Another way I talk is, " Hi, I am very depressed today and...pause for 5 minutes....and start talking about a completely different subject. I'm fine most of the time as you can tell. When I start not making sense it affects my writing as well so like I said I'm normal now.

WOW, maybe I really DO have meltdowns! I can certainly relate! WIERD! I can be real articulate one moment, and practically incoherent the next.

This happened to me two nights ago.
I became completely nonverbal, only my Mum is the sort of person who forces you to talk, whilt completely ignoring any emotions you show.

I end up saying one word too quiet to hear, then the same again, then completely screaming it, before going back into my little nonverbal shell.

Ugh, I can really relate to this. I only go nonverbal if I'm extremely upset or angry, but the not making sense part seems to happen to me on a regular basis. Usually it'll be one word per sentence - either the wrong word or some nonsense word that doesn't even exist. Then I'll stop and correct myself and find that I'm pretty much talking to myself about how that wasn't the right word to use and what I should have said instead. You look up and the person/people you were talking to is looking at you like "what in the hell is wrong with this woman?"

i have issues with this when i get in arguments and tend to just walk away.

im told im pretty nonsequitar too and that many of my observations on anything (say a tv show) dont seem to have any apprarent correlation or connection... and are thus babble

im often surprised and saddened that i constantly have to explain or justify my thoughts and that not many often see where im coming from.

Apparently one symptom of AS, and I have seen this in my life, is that eerything can connect to everything else. That can lead to a lot of tangetial speech. Some just don't want to listen, or give it any consideration, so it appears random, even if it isn't.
