Here I go again - speech problem

[thedood]

god...my mind works ahead of me while I'm speaking (or thinking of speaking) and I'm convincing myself my mind will go blank and I won't be able to concentrate on what I'm saying and there'll be nothing there! this is particularly bad in meetings at work. I've literally had a panic attack and run out of the room...shame.

I know I just sabotage myself with automatic thoughts but yes..its a pain and you feel like you're losing the plot. It can be so hard to concentrate and just focus undeterred on what I want to say. I used to be so articulate...

i do this all the time too and even when i try and repeat myself it comes out funny but it goes

don't worry hun xx

[groovygranny]

Uuugh.....tell me about it!

I can yackity yak for England (as you all know ) and I'm always 'tripping' over!

And I could boil an egg or cook a roast dinner sometimes with the time it takes for me to retrieve a word or phrase from my memory!!

So, please try not worry Ann - I reckon this happens to more people than would care to admit to it!

Hm, 6 yrs old - maybe you were just a bit tired at the time? Or thinking about something else as well? Honestly, I don't think there is any cause for concern.......

....I just put it down to my hormones !

big hugs for you

Thank goodness; I thought I was the only one! Yes suffering from this too at the mo -missing syllables in my writing cos I'm jumping ahead of myself is happening a lot, and saying the wrong word without meaning to. Its damn disturbing so I sympathise.

i think that i never make sense when i talk, i forever get my words jumbled up and they dont come out how i mean them to

[Lexi]

dont worry i do this all the time and its definetly not an age thing cos i am 22!! my mind goes blank with the most stupid simple things - sooo frustrating! also when i'm uncomfortable or just talking to a new person i jumble my sentances and sometimes say words which are half one word and half another, very irritating and i must sound like a right nana sometimes
love lex xxxx

Panic that's exactly what I go through EVERYDAY, fearing I am losing my memory/brain power by not being able to explain things thoroughly and not being able to pronounce certain words or knowing their meaning.

This happens to me constantly. It scares me a bit. It also happens when i am typing. I am thinking one word and a type something completely different. Horrible.

[Paulos]

Yeah and doesn't it like ... sometimes make you worry about your brain power/intelligence? Because I have it daily... makes me feel like a retard.
