Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why Do I Sometimes Miss A Word From A Written Sentence?
« on: 25/03/2019 23:57:45 »
My mother used to speak rapidly and omit words. She did the same when writing. Her mind worked so fast that she was ahead of her self in writing and speech. I have the same pattern. We were both diagnosed and hospitalised for bipolar. I still omit words when typing--usually to my surprise. But this odd tendency helped me keep my Doctoral Dissertation within the word limit, Ha Ha. No, but I did have to read the text carefully, not assuming that words were present just because I had read on to the end of the sentence! Neither I nor my mother are dyslexic. But we do have fast working minds which never cease thinking (my psych finds this interesting). Hence we overrun our own speech and writing. I am not suggesting that bipolar is the reason for any other person developing the tendency to omit words. There can be other causes. But Bipolar is one possibility.
