How To Do A Brain Dump When You Have “Too Many Ideas Syndrome”

I don’t know about you, but over the past few years of becoming more self-aware, I realized that I have way too many ideas. At first I wondered if it was Bipolar Disorder, the long time therapist I had laughed at me when I asked her about it and she said, “you definitely are not bipolar!”. She said it was most likely from having ADHD.

Too Many Ideas Syndrome

Recently I found out about “Too Many Ideas Syndrome”. It was so validating to find out about this! I match this description to a T! This is not a clinical diagnosis. I don’t know who came up with it but you’re not going to find it in the DSM-5.

This writer’s or creative block is often followed or interspersed with what we call the “Too Many Ideas Syndrome”. Or simply put TMIS i.e. having too many ideas at a single point in time. Or when ideas keep crashing onto each other, wave after wave, making it difficult to concentrate and accomplish any task.
