Public Mute
Lately, for some reason, I haven't been able to speak. It's scary and frustrating, because one minute I can and then the next, I literally cant force words out of my mouth. It usually goes away for awhile, but its been stressing me out and its kinda scaring me.
@sweetJoy92
Hi Joy, what you describe would scare anybody. I could imagine that you would like to get to the bottom of it. I hope you find a way soon to get it checked out.
@amiablePeace77
Ah thank you so much! Its improved signifigantly since then.
@sweetJoy92 Can you, please, share how have you managed to improve it?
i have the very same problem

.Hi Bunny! I guess I did a number of things. I tried to get out more and find where I was comfortable. I can't say it was a willing thing though. My parents were embarressed by my use of board and markers to express myself and took them away. I ended up forcing myself to talk no matter what came out and now I can speak more, but what I say is pretty random and I never know what to keep to myself.
@sweetJoy92 i really hate that feeling, im sorry youre going through this. i was a public mute until i was thirteen, and it really complicates things. how bad is it recently?
@RaspberryRiver
The beginning of the year was rough. I had to use a white board to get by. As of recently ive stopped using the board, though some days are harder than others.
@sweetJoy92
Hi Joy, I am really happy to hear that it is much better. It must have felt terrible having words one minutes and next one not knowing what to say. I have had times like that too and it felt pretty awkward.
