The symptoms you describe-sudden intrusive words or phrases overlapping with your own thoughts, brief confusion, and forgetting the words immediately-can sometimes happen in conditions like anxiety, obsessive-compulsive spectrum, or even certain seizure-like episodes (such as temporal lobe seizures). The fact that sleep helps temporarily is also noteworthy. While it may feel very confusing and distressing, it is important to understand that these symptoms are not uncommon in psychiatric or neurological conditions and can be evaluated further.

I am sorry to hear about the confusion and frustration you are experiencing with words or phrases suddenly appearing in your mind and overlapping with your thoughts or what you hear. This can feel disturbing, especially when it interrupts your focus, reading, or writing. I can imagine how confusing and frustrating this must feel—having words or phrases pop into your mind that you can’t fully recognize or express, especially when it interrupts your thinking, reading, or writing. What you’re describing is a phenomenon where your brain momentarily struggles to retrieve certain words, even though you sense they’re there. This overlap between what you’re thinking, hearing, or reading is most likely related to brief lapses in attention and word retrieval. Your brain is constantly juggling multiple streams of information: your own thoughts, what you hear from others, and what you see around you. Sometimes it tries to pull up a word or phrase, but the process isn’t fully complete. That’s why you feel the word is right there but can’t quite grasp it, pronounce it, or write it down before it slips away. It’s similar to the “tip-of-the-tongue” phenomenon, but in your case, it happens quickly and can occur quite often. It’s also worth noting that the fact a short nap or rest seems to help suggests mental fatigue or overstimulation is contributing. When your brain is tired, it struggles to organize information efficiently, leading to these brief moments of confusion. During these episodes, random words or phrases, sometimes called “intrusive thoughts”, may enter your mind and temporarily disrupt your focus. This is a normal response when several cognitive processes compete for attention at once. It's often not a problem, but if it happens frequently, it can affect your ability to function and think clearly. While this can feel unsettling, there are strategies that can help reduce the frequency and impact.
