Thought Poverty

For the last number of years I have been experiencing what could be described as a form of thought disorder like a form of thought poverty.Basically,my mind feels numb and devoid of thoughts.Any thoughts which I do experience lack richness or variety.As a result I experience difficulties in communicating verbally and in writing.This has gotten worse,to the point where it is beginning to affect me socially and in my working life.I usually find it extremely difficult to converse with people and to make conversation as a result of not being able to think of something to say or not being able to communicate something which Im thinking of without confusing words or stumbling with words.Even when im on my own I find it difficult to talk to myself in my own mind or reflect on my thoughts simply because there are no thoughts there.My mind just feels permanently empty.
The only condition I could find which matched this was Alogia.This is:

The first thing I would do if I were you would be to have a consultation with a good psychotherapist.  Your written statement here is full of rich and clear distinctions, and periodically you reverse the thought poverty, so it is very likely that what you have is psychological in orgin, and quite easily repaired.

For reasons that you can't explain, you have shut down and gone into a  protective shell, and through the massive repression tha tis needed to keep that position, you have created the thought poverty.  Psychotherapy is definetly your answer.

I wouldn't have believes such a condition existed, however I experienced such symptoms after being exposed to a very high intensity Tesla field of several million volts. For a week I didn't have a single thought pop into my head. Not a dream. I was very conscious of this. Nada. Then, normality returned after about three weeks.

I feel exactly the same way. My head feels empty most of the time. That is the best way to describe it. I do have thoughts and daydreams, but mostly they are the same inane thoughts and ideas over and over. It has come to the point where I don't talk to new people, as I have nothing to say. I struggle over words. I am marginally more confident of my writing ability, but even that is a struggle. I reread every sentence, editing as I write, because none of my words ever seem to go together. I read that is a form of depression. Sorry, I have no idea where I read that, so it may mean nothing. In my case, I wouldn't doubt that it was depression.

I have a silly suggestion. Try sublingual B-12 with folic acid twice a day and a daily teaspoon of cod liver oil and tell me if you see an improvement.
