Question:
This is gonna sound embarrassingly weird but... Do any of thefollowing symptoms have technical names? (it would be nice to be ableto refer to them as something other than "The Fog", "The Echo", etc)

1. Hearing, like, an echo of your voice after you've stoppedspeaking. It's not like experiencing an actual sound, more like anecho from inside your head that's really loud.

2. Not being able to complete a sentence without feeling like you'veforgotten the beginning of the sentence (so you're continuouslywondering, did I really say what I think I said?)

3. Not being able to think verbally or abstractly... like if you wanta pencil the image of a pencil appears behind your eyelids, but youcan't think "now where's my pencil..."

Answer: 1/ I don't know.

2/ It is a kind of amnesia, there is a specific name for it, but guesswhat? -> #3

3/ Agnosia - loss of knowledge

If you know the word but can't say it, or if you hear it but can'tunderstand it, that's aphasia.

Agnosia, aphasia and amnesia are usually associated with brain damagebut may also be caused by mental illness or drugs (including somemedications). For instance, THC, the active ingredient in marijuana,is known to cause #2. (If I keep writing maybe I'll remember the name)

Left side injuries are more likely to involve classifications, such asnouns. Right side injuries are more likely to involve loss ofunderstanding of known processes or expectations, such as forgettingfor a moment that the water will come from the tap when turned andbeing surprised when it does.

No one but a psychologist who works in memory is likely to know theterms. Specialist physicians do, ones who work with head injurysurvivors.

The name for #2 is not coming to me.

I had a big time left side head injury, that's where I learned thewords.

There is another one too, where things are crossed, like saying cupfor pencil and being certain that is the correct term. Argh, I can'tremember that one either. Starts with 'a.' (They all do)
