racing thoughts ?
So I'm only 15 and a sophomore in high school. I remember when I was a kid my classmates would call on me to read the next piece of the book and I would read it extreamly fast but I prounced every word and didn't studder, I am a very good reader but since we were younger they couldn't keep up. So after awhile my teacher stopped calling on me to read because I read to fast for them to comprehend the infomation , but I didn't mind that. Example is in 7th grade I was reading at an 11 grade level not a 7th graders. Then personally I started reading really fast too but I maintained all the information perfectly still. For example I read a book that was 600 pages in one day. And now as I'm 15 I've realized over the years that I jump from topic to topic. Like when I was with my grandma telling her about my day I wouldn't even give her enough time to transseion with me to another topic, but after I finished saying whatever I got back on the original topic. Now I noticed this past year that my brain is thinking too fast and my mouth can't keep up. So then when I'm talking to someone I accidentally leave out a few parts of a sentence because my brain thought I already had said them but my mouth really hadn't yet. Then when I do tell a story I literally have to give exact specifications or it will bug me and I won't move on or I'll move but I'll come back to it. Also when I'm talking and my brain is thinking to fast sometimes I just literally can't keep up with my mouth speaking what I'm thinking and I just make a goofy sound in the middle of what I'm saying juat to stop and play it off as being silly or something because I jusy cant keep up. I can't even remember what I was going to say because again my brain has already sped off. I also know I dont have ADHD. So my question is what's up with this? Is there a way I can teach my brain to slow down ? Or is this tied to something like a condition ? I'm not really sure but its been giving me a lot of issues these last couple of years and I just at least want to know what's up with it. So any thoughts and advice is welcomed thank you :)

I agree with GiddyGeezer that this is something you need to have evaluated by a professional and this starts with your family doctor. None of here are doctors so we cannot offer you any really good advice or even suggestions on this one this as this one truly needs to be evaluated by the proper professional.
I will say this that what you are seeing is not all that rare. I know of others who suffer with similar problems. Even though I now of them I will not offer a suggestion as this problem is unique to each individual.
I don't think it has anything to do with ADHD and it may have more to do with puberty, which is just a guess on my part. What I do know is the fact it is bothering you enough to write to us. So ask mom or dad to make an appointment for you with the family doctor and discuss it with the doctor. If you do not get a satisfactory answer from your doctor ask for a referral to a board certified psychiatrist. No you are not crazy. A board certified psychiatrist is specially trained to deal with all aspects of the brain.
Other doctors you might want to see for an evaluation would be an Internist and a Neurosurgeon. Being evaluated by all of these doctors would rule in or out any of the factors that could be in play to be the underlying cause of your problem.

You do need to have this evaluated. Talk to your family doctor first and then take it from there. I think this may be an issue that could be helped with the proper medication. It must be very frustrating for you to hold a conversation! I believe you may possibly have a very high IQ as well. If you have never been given an IQ test perhaps a teacher of guidance counselor could administer one for you. I am guessing you are probably going to score in an extremely high range. At any rate I don't think this is something you should try to handle on your own and it is very unlikely that you will outgrow these mind racing issues. In fact it may get worse as you get older. Please tell your parents you need to get a check up and then discuss this with your doctor.Good luck to you!
