Why thoughts are broken

How do you cope up with losses? Be it the loss of a valuable asset, losing out in a competition of importance or missing the flight you needed to catch. These are all losses of grave importance. However if you were to ask me the greatest loss, probably ranking just below the loss of a dear one, is the loss of an idea that you had worked out. The amount of thought that went into its making, the commitment you had bestowed, and the objective you had set forth to capture. This is something that you will regret losing deeply. In fact, however dispassionate you are, the feeling that you have lost an idea can be an emotional punch which you will take a lot of growing out of.
Thought blocking occurs when someone suddenly stops talking in the middle of doing so. It may also cause someone to stop thinking in the middle of a thought. According to its loosest definition, thought blocking can technically happen to anyone at any time. It is not uncommon for someone to temporarily forget what they were about to say or to get distracted. People can also become so consumed by trying to recall a specific detail or memory during a story or train of thought that they may stop talking or shift their attention. For some people, thought blocking feels as if a thought has permanently left their brain. In these cases, the person may truly be unable to remember their intended thoughts, their words, or the reason they stopped talking.
Psychosis occurs when someone interprets and perceives reality very differently from the people around them. It may cause hallucinations (seeing things that are not there), delusions (unrealistic or extreme ideas), and disorganized speech and thinking, such as thought blocking. Typically, psychosis is known as an “experience” or a symptom of a medical health condition, rather than a specific condition in itself. Psychosis can vary greatly in terms of what a person experiences, and no two people’s experience of it is the same.
Intense emotion or physical events may also cause someone to consciously or unconsciously “block” out or avoid certain memories, feelings, thoughts, or emotions. This may cause someone to suddenly stop speaking when they think about or have to talk about something that is tied to these traumatic thoughts, feelings, memories, or emotions.
