I was with my family all day. Spent most of the time talking with my sister and my niece’s grandmother. And that went really well.
But, I went up to say hello to my niece’s husband and I hugged him and that’s where things fell apart. I tried to hold a casual conversation and I found I couldn’t do it. I could sense that my words either made no sense, silence was extremely awkward or my sentences didn’t connect logically. I finally gave up and told him that my illness was acting up. I made my escape to my niece’s bedroom.
His sister sensed my distress and came up to me and comforted me. I told her I appreciated it.
I don’t get this symptom very often but when I do, It’s always extremely distressful.
I relate and understand that sentence.
I try to speak and I can’t form sentences very well at times; can’t think of what to say; stumble with my words.
I have pretty bad memory problems and I think that’s why my speaking isn’t great.
Thank God you’re strong, @SkinnyMe . That does sound very stressful. I used to get embarrassed sometimes, I would blank out or say completely bizarre things after my head injury. I used to get a lot of looks, but it’s not so bad now
It was very nice of his sister to check in on you. That’s always nice, when you have someone for comfort you
good to hear you are in your hotel room now…
sorry to hear you had to go through hard time like that… i also struggle with keeping conversations going, it’s annoying…
