Extreme focus drop and internal monologu
Im neet aspirant of 3 rd year dropper. I have a habit to self talk for hours that too while pacing, I can pace for 3-4 hrs straight .And after that I feel so exhausted to study. Even if I force myself to sit and study my mind never sit quietly i can talk for hours while sitting and if someone is present in front of me , my brain still won't stop ,I talk in head. Talking in head is more exhaustive. I have long sitting capacity but no focus .While watching video lec can barely focus for half hour .Though while solving questions I can sit for somewhat long .But i can still not focus for 3 hrs now. I loose my focus in between test and start thinking and talking in head again knowing well I m losing time. I'm tired of this. Not just this but my attention is so terrible I don't even listen what something is speaking in front of me cause I'm immersed in my talk in Head .I always ghost my friends cause I don't want to text, call or even go out of house. I started talking in 9th but was mild.

The symptoms described suggest significant problems with attention, concentration, and excessive internal dialogue/daydreaming. Possibilities that should be considered include:
ADHD (predominantly inattentive type or combined type) – difficulty sustaining attention, mind wandering, losing focus during lectures and tests, mental restlessness, poor listening despite effort.
Maladaptive Daydreaming – prolonged self-talk, pacing for hours, becoming absorbed in imagined scenarios, leading to functional impairment.
Obsessive rumination/anxiety-related overthinking – repetitive thoughts that are difficult to stop.
Less commonly, mood disorders or other psychiatric conditions may contribute, depending on associated symptoms.
The key point is that this is causing marked impairment in studies, social life, and daily functioning, so a detailed assessment by a psychiatrist is required
For consultation, u can directly msg on nine nine three one zero four five zero zero eight.
