Here's the crazy thing about how I speak. When I speak, I know what I want to say but then it kind of 'flashes' in my brain so after like a second its gone. So, to keep the conversation going, I try to guess what I want to say. Another weird thing is that I speak fast so when I speak to people about normal everyday things it makes it worse. But if I don't speak fast then the thing I want to say in my mind is completely gone. So yeah, I can't really describe it but this happens almost all the time at school. I literally can't speak to anyone or give them an answer. And i was brought up with a system of 'dont ask what they are saying again' well, not really, the thing is, I never ask them 'what did you say? ' because I think its rude to ask what they said again and they'll just say 'forget it' or 'nevermind' so I have to be forced to know what they said which isn't always the first time they speak.
haha, i literally just told you my life story. But if you read all of it, hiyaaaaa!

I don't think I have aphasia, most likely just social anxiety and introversion getting to me but in a way it is a comforting feeling to know I'm not alone in the struggle with words. My mind get into a mess when I had to answer questions verbally most of the times, and when I get stressed I became flustered and would stutter in a desperate desire to get the words out quickly. The words ended up a mess, unrefined and sometimes far from what I wanted to say. Whenever I get into a debate or arguement, I would almost always roll out something that I didn't mean. Just yesterday I ended a conversation by spouting meaningless sentences with squashed and missing words. It was normal in my head but somehow words evade me
It's frustrating and causes me many troublesome events, but in the end of the day there's always something I cam improve about myself I guess.

I'm quite sure I don't have aphasia, but sometimes I completely forget simple words or mess up with grammar. It's been happening more frequently and now I have moments when I start to say something, but the first few words come out so wrong that I just shut up. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm bilingual and more fluent in English than my native language, so I end up using an English sentence structure that doesn't fit my language. It's very demoralizing to not be able to articulate your thoughts, I can't imagine how it must be for someone with aphasia.

If you see me start watching something that is a topic that might trigger me (like the one I just commented on, I walked right into that one, I should have realized the topic would have been too sore to touch on at this point in my life--I apologize that I didn't. Please keep me in isolation from their view until I improve--I really don't have a handle on my impulses anymore, feel free to click off a video for me that you think might trigger me. I'll take the hint if I see it suddenly be exited. I'll trust your judgement. And would really appreciate it a lot.

I have aphasia from the trauma I got when I was kid, where my mother would bang my head against the wall all the time. My aphasia used to be so bad, especially when I was anxious or panicked. I had to go to therapy because I realized my aphasia would occur whenever I'm anxious, and I had to learn how to control my anxiety in order to control my speech. And now I'm much better, whenever I'm anxious or panicked, and I had to talk or make a speech, I would calm myself first, or else the words would come out like I had just learned Russian in a matter or seconds

Wish I could explain my situation but it's like I've a mixture of both the types of aphasia. Now I know I'm the only one of my kind. I can't even relate perfectly to any of the comments. I don't even know if I'm in depression but I really am tired of my brain. and I just want to die.
Though the thoughts of my parents stop me. And it's like I can atleast express myself in texting a little bit. I'm so confused. Wish I could talk to people through texts forever. Is there anyone like me?

I don't experience this, but I do tend to use opposite words more and more. Use hot instead of cold, for example. Or summer instead of winter. I've not found any information as to why I would be doing this? I do usually catch myself. but have had some very odd looks from people when I use the direct opposite word to what I mean.

I had a severe migraine last winter where I completely lost the ability to speak for a few hoursit was like trying to do something in a dream. I knew what I wanted to say and could type, but I couldnt connect my thoughts to the action of speaking. I cant imagine dealing with that chronically!
