A loss for words

My mind has felt devoid of anything to say lately. I've come to recognize that I think quite abstractly in my head and have difficulty translating all the images, ideas, sounds and feelings that are all rolling around inside me and creating my thoughts, and then turning them into language. I often struggle to find the right word or words to explain myself. I do think part of it has to do with thinking a bit too deeply sometimes. It's like the times when you get high and have complete conversations with yourself inside your head in the matter of seconds while talking to someone else and then begin to try and discuss with them the idea you have just had. You've already gone so deeply into the thought that you're almost not sure how you got there anymore, or how to get the listener to the same place that you are. I find myself giving up often times. There are few who can keep up with me when I am in these places and attempt to verbalize it.

I know I often think about things others never if rarely do. So, when I begin to speak any listener inevitably tunes me out for boredom, lack of understanding or simply because they think I'm weird. I suppose if I new how to better express what I think I would feel more satisfied more of the time. There are times when I am completely capable of verbalizing what I am thinking and then there are others when there seems to be a brick wall between me and my thoughts. I know they are there on the other side, but I can't see them well enough or they are so abstract that I can't make them into solid words.
