Difficulty finding words?

[Anxiousjohn]

Does anyone ever have difficulty finding the right word to use while speaking when having a bad episode of anxiety?

[cloudy black]

yes Anxiousjohn sometimes i am thinking so fast that i cant keep up with myself. and also later on i realise that i had started a conversation that i didnt finish hows that for weird. and then other times i completely lose the thread of what i have just been saying. and this week has certainly been a tryer for me.

Most definitely!

I'd have trouble remembering my name at times. I swear, people must have thought I was a chronic liar as I'd have to keep pausing mid sentence to try to remember basic details. :)

Yes. I also talk faster the more my anxiety grows, which leads to more awkwardness. Deep breaths and make sure to look for those hard to see social ques that tell you to pause so the other person can have their turn to jabber.

I experience the same. English is my second language and when I get anxiety attack (bad ones)--- seems I don't know how to speak English at all!

Sometimes I get so anxious I can barely speak at all.
