Step away from the rabbit hole Mr Lurcher!
I've always had issues with speech in this way - it's partly why I tend to keep my trap shut so much (not that you'd think it on here where I basically never shut up) and it gets worse the more anxious I become. Also, fatigue causes slurring speech. Sometimes Hubs asks me if I've taken my codeine pills because I'm slurring my words, and it's simply because I'm physically and mentally knackered.
It's honestly nothing to worry about. You've read that story and your HA mind has made the connection. This is HA in action.
Slurring and anxiety - the causes.
Hard to focus: too much going on inside your head which affects recall and mental accuracy.
Muscle tension: makes it hard to move mouth muscles (like when it's cold)
Hyperawareness - You will have done a thousand times before but you're only noticing it now because you are focused on it.
Anxiety meds: most act as muscle relaxants making it harder to move facial muscles.
Fatigue - as previously mentioned. Tired brain - nothing more.
Hope this helps Mr Lurcher.
P.S - always dunk your biscuits.
