I got to speak to my therapist on the phone, yesterday, as I have had a couple of periods where I lost my speech, recently, a communication block.
I thought at first it was my throat, but that's fine, the actual voice is still there, but everytime I tried to speak, nothing would come out.
Theres loads of posts I've wanted to write, but my hands wouldnt go to the letters on the keyboard.
My neighbours looked a bit puzzled, when we stopped, as all I could do was nod, and make sure they knew I was listening.
My friend also looked puzzled but when he saw me getting distressed, he hugged me, and I started to cry.
I went to my doctor with a note, by this time, I knew it was anxiety of some sort, as I had my last diasepam prescription pill, this enabled me to make the note of explaination to the doc. I told her I hadnt had any for a week, but this loss of speech has never happened before, on much longer breaks from valium.
They both confirmed that this happens in extreme anxiety, and once they were happy it wasnt the medication,
I had to confess to both her, and my therapist, the subject of this thread, not JP himself, but the sheer panic of it was the underlying cause, same as it has been most of this year, starting with a much needed section 2'ing where my life was in danger due to extreme high risk depression and aggitation.
