Speech

[Beth1982]

Anyone ever feel like their speech is delayed, stuttering, or like you can't talk? Of course my health anxiety makes me think the worst but I'm certain it's anxiety... It seems to be wrecking havoc on my life.

oh ya...It happens often with me and felt like something was wrong with me. I read its anxiety. It comes in so many ways! Dealing with it today. Breathing deep and long and a nice time out helps a lot of this. Mind last for several hours but somehow goes away.

good luck!

Thanks!

yeah for sure. I would have these long pauses trying to find the right words to say and not being able to. the stuttering and delayed speech is terrible. It just makes me want to hide away. Writing becomes impossibly difficult too! Our communication channels are essentially shut off. But you're right, it's just the anxiety...there is nothing wrong whatsoever with your ability to speak.

Anxiety makes me feel like I'm dying of some horrible horrific slow death. It's so vicious...

I understand completely. it just drains me of all my energy until I have nothing left.
