Silent echolalia?

[DogwoodTree]

I'm looking at my growing list of ASD and co-morbid traits and thinking.. ya know what, forget all that, I'm just a Nutter! There, instant, easy diagnosis anyone can understand.. fits neatly in the teeny tiny box on the disability benefit form too

I am so right there with you. Yep.

I have the Russian word пчел́a going round and round in my head and have had for the past few days.

Hehe, usually when too much is going on in my head and I'm trying to calm down my mind and clear away all the thoughts, Russian word курица (chicken) comes to my mind and I start mentally repeating it over and over. This has been happening since I was a child.
I have a question out of curiosity (if you don't mind me asking): Is Russian your native language or it's a foreign word you're stuck on?

English is my native language but I have been learning Russian for many years now. Пчел́a of my favourite words because of the way it sounds and what it means. I like bees. Kурица is a good word for repeating too. It's normally just foreign words that I repeat in my head actually, either Russian or Dutch words usually.
