Sometimes I feel like their are so many messages in my brain. I will be doing something then another thought poops in my head. I feel like I have ADHD what the heck?!!?
Can this be caused by lyme and co's?

yes. and it can be caused by other things i think. i have 2 sons that had this. one went on a small dose of tofranil. it was dx as distractibility-part of a learning disability. he found he could do upper level college work and computer programming work when he was on the drug...very sm amout---i think 10 mg every other day or something---but when he ran out he couldnt focus cuz of the thoughts
drug does not seem to disrupt any other part of his life-

Yes. Having too many thoughts can be part of anxiety, and lyme definitely often causes anxiety in people.
When I got this really, really bad, I went to a good psychiatrist who put me on a very low dose of an antidepressant. It worked wonderfully!
The next morning when I woke up, I just had a normal amount of thoughts! It was heavenly. My mind was at peace again!
And, it was amazing to me that it worked so quickly. They tell you it can take up to 30 days to have an effect. I didn't have to wait.
