My mind is a blank slate

I don't know what's wrong with me. My mind has been blank 24/7 for months now. I feel like when I try to start a conversation my mind goes blank and I don't know what to say . I feel like I've lost cognitive functions like when I talk the words just won't come out and I can't concentrate on what I'm trying to say. I stopped going to school, I've avoided talking to friends and family because I don't know what to say to anything. I have no motivation I haven't worked due to this I don't know how I can even be successful in a job because I feel like my brain has been erased and I just feel mentally paralyzed. I've considered mak8ng an appointment with my Dr and requesting an MRI scan of my brain to see if there's something really wrong. Every day has been a living nightmare for me because I feel like I can't think or even form a sentence. I feel so far gone and I don't know what to do. If anyone else is experiencing this please reply! I really feel like something is wrong with me.

hello angie , i am not sure .. maybe its a good idea to make appointment with your dr she could well suggest what is wrong or do some tests for you .. are you very anxious? socially anxious ? i'm not sure but i do hope whatever is wrong is sorted for you . have you any other symptoms or feelings? take care

Talk to your GP about this problem.

It is not uncommon when young, we get tongue tied. Anxiety can cause something much the same. I would hope it will sort itself out over time.

When I was eighteen to around twenty four I was taking various types of lectures and some classes, I was lucky I was given instruction. Also I had training as a Sales Rep, then I went onto becoming a negotiator. The main thing I learned that people would always look at me trying to impart information, in other words I knew what I was talking about and that helped me in various engineering departments at work. When talking look for a pause before entering a conversation. Take a deep breath, no need to gasp. Know what you wish to impart before speaking and be measured with your words. That may help. Mind now I am very quiet and tend to be very tentative when chatting. I have learned a lesson my Wife Has plenty to say, I prefer my own company. Lol
