Here I go again - speech problem

[Panic1971]

Sorry guys - but need some reassurance yet again.

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

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:D 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.:hugs:

Hi Ann...

I'm always doing this! People just see it as "Bluebell being Bluebell!"...

Hello Panic I Do This Quite Alot I Find It More So When Im Under Stress Or It Can Just Happen, I Have A Thing Where I Totally Forget What I Was Talking About Or Cant Find The Right Word I Go Blank But Its Cause My Mind Is Always Going And Going ....dont Worry About It................wish Ya The Best......linda Xx

[Panic1971]

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

[nomorepanic]

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.

[mirry]

me too , I am always doing it EVERYDAY :blush: .
Now we laugh at it , and also I was calling my daughter the other day by the dogs name :wacko: , the dog ran to me all excited and I wondered why my daughter was ignoring me.

i do this ALL the time! I was starting to think i was actually going totally mad because im also incredbily forgetful now and my mind goes blank ALOT!

P.s. Ladies its not an age thing - im just 18 :D

Hi there, I do this all the time!

Sometimes my speech sound slurred or something I dunno. I think it maybe nervouseness or god knows what lol x

[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...

[SammiB]

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 :blush:) 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 :blush:!

big hugs for you

:hugs::hugs::hugs:

:flowers:

[Howler]

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.

[slmusto]

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 :hugs: 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 :blush: :lac:
love lex xxxx

[kellie]

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.

[belle]

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.
