Take deep breaths and find a quiet space.
You can do this.

I agree. If it’s not a conversation that I practiced by myself, my words get mushed up and choppy. :ant::ant::ant:

I have thoughts that keep me from going out in public. The only person I’m comfortable with is my dad.

I am with you there. My Dad is the only person I talk to. I avoid all other people, :fox_face::fox_face::fox_face:

Try squares breathing before you try to be a part of everything. Do you know how to do it?

I still have nightmares about my family reunions at Christmas. No joke.

Talking can be hard for me too. Could be because I have few people around me with common interests too. I’m sorry you are suffering. I hope things get better for you soon @NailsOnAChalkboard

I might stay in my room on Christmas Eve.
Too many self absorbed family members coming over.
I can’t deal with it!

One way to strengthen the talking centres of the brain is to read out loud from a book for half an hour or an hour daily.

The first time I tried this I became suicidal after 10 minutes of reading out loud, but I gradually brought it up to being able to tolerate it for an hour after a month of practice.

I’m in the same position. I can’t speak. There’s no one I’m comfortable talking to.
