    Here I go again - speech problem

    Sorry guys - but need some reassurance yet again.

    I think I am going mad....and losing my mind.

    Does anyone else have this or able to tell me what is wrong.

    Sometimes when I say something in a conversation I pronounce the word incorrectly. I was just in the car with my daughter and we were talking about something and I said dink instead of drink. As soon as she pointed it out to me I could feel the panic rising in me. I am now getting myself into a right state about it. It has happened on numerous other occasions too.

    Please can someone shed some light on this.

    Sometimes I also struggle to find the right word that I want to say - its as if my memory is going.

    Please help if you can

    Hi Ann

    i do that all the time, i'm always getting laughed at. I put it down to being nervous, my age or just being plain daft I think when we have so much on our mind its a very easy thing to do, i forget words too.
    Don't worry

    love anx xx

    Are you sure???

    I wasnt nervous or anything at the time - just having a conversation with my 6 year old.....

    I am really stressing about it now though.

    Thanks for your reply Anxious... I really appreciate it.

    Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.

    Thanks guys for the replies - it really does help.

    Dont know what I would do without this site.

    Once I get something into my head though - it just spirals out of control.
    I get rid of one thing - and then something else comes into its place.

    Been feeling really panicky since this speech episode though - was convinced that I am losing my mind

    Yup I have done this too and I do it when I write as well.

    I read back what I wrote and think "did I really mean that" cos I have used the completely wrong word in a sentence.
