I sometimes just say ‘‘yes, yes’’. I dont talk sometimes because of my irritability, sometimes because of the lack of ideas. What helped you to talk more? can the Depakote help me on this?

I’ve developed some speech problems in the past couple years.

Its more of a stutter or a pause kinda deal,

I think its because I just have a hard time blocking out the noise long enough to get a word out.

I’m not sure how to fix it,

But early November I start seeing a psychiatrist again and I’ll get some information then.

Just wanted to say, you’re not alone,

Several of us have problems with speech.

hows the name of this symptom? Its a negative thing i suppose, isn’t it? I think the reason behind my silence is often the irritability and my rage. But sometimes, its just lack of ideas…

Sometimes I find that my brain feels as though all of the thoughts have been sucked out by someone/something and so there is nothing for me to say. Or sometimes it feels like there is a force inside me stopping me from speaking. I can formulate what I want to say in my head but there’s something in there going “Ssshhhhhhh” and so I keep quiet.
Luckily this doesn’t happen as often as it used to.

I am yet to bring it up to anyone. I’m worried they will pass it off as social anxiety/shyness even though it even happens around people I am super comfortable with, like my parents, best friends etc.

I was just reading what you said and I was wondering, do you think on past what you have said?

I nearly always think about what I have said after I’ve said it.

I got better of social withdrawal because of memantine. It made me be more talkative, but I still have some alogia.

Guys and girls are so different. But we are so the same. We go in reverse, me think- when a girl has something to say she starts off with the thing a guy would finish with. Guys and girls are so different, but yet we are so the same. I really enjoy the differences :grinning:
